Highest Cache in Region Saarland is wrong

0 votes

The highest Cache for the map extreme is GC296B5 (674 m)  but GCX8R8 is 694 m high. The reason is that the box in Project GC is in Rheinland Pfalz, but Geocaching list it in Saarland (It is located near the offical Mark "highest Point in Saarland)

You've already explained in your post that the cache is in Rheinland Pfalz so this is not a bug it's working as intended. Project-GC uses coordinates to calculate that the cache is inside the regional border and then uses that calculated region. If you look at the cache coordinates on OSM it's clear that the cache is ten or so meters from the border on the Rheinland Pfalz-side. (Link to OSM: https://osm.org/go/0DTrti9XY?m=)

Since the cache is not placed in Saarland it can't be the most extreme point for Saarland.
