I could Google them and provide what I find - I'm not sure how the origin coordinates were chosen when it was built originally. Heck - I may have provided them from somewhere back then... I'm not sure. I didn't know if there was a project-gc way of grabbing coordinates for cities. Let me know what's best.by KBLAST - ARCHIVE Checker requests (impossible)
https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC2RKXP/24208 There was an update to a city name and some cities added to the list of places in Ohio that qualify as cities.

Works beautifully! Thank you so much for your time and effort to get this up and running!by KBLAST - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
The checker works great! Thank you for your research and debugging and the time you have taken to solve this issue. Would it be helpful to rearrange the order in which cities are checked, so that more rare letters are checked first? The order that would most likely help the most would be: X, Y, Z, I, J, K, V, E, F, O, U, A, B, C, D, G, H, L, M, N, P, R, S, T, W Again, I sincerely thankby KBLAST - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Is there any way to change it to 16 miles? Or possibly 20? I know I found a cache in what I would consider Van Wert, and it's not showing up when I run the checker for myself. Can you try 16, test it for my username, and if it still doesn't work, try 20? People I know SHOULD be qualifying but don't, KBLAST, fhetter532, and blandestk. Sorry - I thought 10 would work, but it doesnby KBLAST - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Just curious to see if you are waiting for anything from me to create this script or if it's just a difficult script and you haven't had time yet. Thanks!by KBLAST - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)

I was going through my caches and noticed the checker that was just made a few weeks ago was disabled. What would cause that? Checker: http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC3RQKC/20715 Cache: https://coord.info/GC3RQKCby KBLAST - Miscellaneous
It is 100% my fault for not clarifying sooner. GC2RKXP Great idea with the gpsvisualizer! I will work on creating a little subroutine and will hopefully have a completed json file for you soon.by KBLAST - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Let me clarify a couple of things. This is a cache that's already approved and out there and has been for years, so as far as I understand, it's grandfathered in. I would just like to make a checker because I think it's the right thing to do. I don't want to use the google API, I was using it as an example. I want to use the map API that project-gc uses. Here is an exampby KBLAST - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
There are a LOT of cities to get waypoints for. By any chance, is there a way to code in such a way that it accepts the default waypoint of the city name? For instance, in Google Maps, if you just type "Columbus, OH" there is a waypoint associated with that... Is there a way to use the default point for the cities in whatever map project-gc is using instead of me having to find all of tby KBLAST - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
So if I provide the following: "1. Akron":{"point":[41.0814447,-81.5190053,8,"miles"]} "2. Alliance":{"point":[40.9153362,-81.1259309,4,"miles"]} And continue for all of the cities, you will be able to turn that into a checker? Is this format correct, or is there something better for this specific checker? Would it help to put thby KBLAST - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Is there a way to create something for me to test various points and radii? I'd be happy to do the work but it'd be easier with some trial and error capabilities. Fwiw... I code in php and c and glanced at the lua code and it looks like something I could learn... I'd be interested if you need more coders at some point.by KBLAST - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Quick question: As an alternative to the polygon, would it be possible to create a radius around the point that is chosen for the city in the maps? I'd have to reword the description slightly to clarify why some caches qualify/don't qualify, but would that make this more feasible?by KBLAST - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I did go and check openstreetmap.org. I did a search for Columbus, OH and got this: http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/182706#map=11/39.9837/-82.9911 If you wait for about 10 seconds (at least that's what it took for me) orange lines pop up that indicate the boundaries of the city. I chose Columbus because it has some pretty messed up city boundaries. I don't know if these are polyby KBLAST - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Thank you so much for putting this checker together!!! It determines the user's qualifications wonderfully. I have one request that ISN'T necessary but would make it a bit more accurate. Right now in the Script output it says, "I made it with 10 finds with D>=3.5 or T>=3.5 with max 1 cache per region". I only needed 5 finds and it still says 10 finds.

I would be happy to change it to region and will rewrite the requirements. Thank you.by KBLAST - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
That's exactly what I was wondering. I know the polygons exist for counties, I did not know if they exist for cities. Thank you for answering.by KBLAST - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I'd like to see if a checker can be made for the following challenge: Find and log caches hidden in Ohio cities whose name begins with each of the 25 letters of the alphabet, A through Z (there is no Q city).
