Feature request:
Filters for the tools Map Regions and Map Counties that allow the user to filter for found counties/regions with different sizes and cache types. The current filter named "Cache type / size" only affects what caches are shown on the map, the request would be for a filter that affects what region/counties are colored red or green in the tool.

This would be similar to the "D/T type / size" filter for the Map D/T Matrix-tool that helps you fill the D/T-matrix with a certain size or a certain cache type but it would help you collect counties/regions with a certain cache type or size. Trying to log Multis in as many different counties as possible in a country for example.

There are a couple of "not-a-checker"-checkers to keep track of this and I know multiple people that keep private offline statistics for these kinds of things so I'm surprised I couldn't find a feature request to bump, might have been bad searching on my part. :)

Edited 2022-02-07 to clarify the request a bit.

Provided you're a paying member, the filter for cache type/size should be in the drop-down box under "add filter".
@Optimist on the run

The filter your suggesting does not do the thing I'm asking at all.

Compare the filters "Cache type / size" and "D/T type / size" on the Map D/T Matrix-tool to understand the difference in the filters and what I'm asking for.

I totally agree that the current filters on county/region maps are non-intuitive and minimally useful.  It only serves to find matching unfound caches when a county/region is selected -- not on the overall map.

The obvious reason to have a filter on a mapping page is map the results on that page.

In addition to this request I am looking to obtaining the various numbers for a stats chart (for a possible challenge) for the icons in the regions

When I looked today it gave me a total of all the caches found in the regions of the UK
I wanted to see how many Trads were found in each region so expected the filter would do just that - the list was the same total list not just for trads
I did the same for webcams knowing that I had not found as many and some regions should be red - however that did not change what was originally there
I am sure there is a way of obtaining these numbers but it is obviously not by the map regions tool
