Checker required for new "Around the Globe" challenge cache [closed]

Question

I'm planning a challenge cache that requires the finder to have done the equivalent of once around the world (i.e. 24,901 miles, or 40,075 km) between found caches. As this dustance is one of the fields on the stats page, I presume this will be fairly simple. Can anyone help please? Thanks.

Optimist on the run

Answer 1

A script already exist and i created at tag
http://project-gc.com/Challenges//14237

Please post the GC code and it will be added. Locationless caces are ignored

You shoul decide i traveling caches and caches with real incorrect coordinates shall be ignored. I configured it now so those caches are ignored, The list is at the link below

It's GC5RNBM - not yet published. I was hoping to have a checker ready before I submit it, if that's possible. I was anticipating the criteria for calculation to be the same as that used in the "Total cache-to-cache distance" in the statistics.

Correct url is http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC5RNBM/14237
But still the questin shall travelingcaches be included.
A nother thing to notice is that if the checker is runned in the bacground or manualy by a basic member on gc.com all premium caches are ignored

Answer 2

yes, it's doable. We can get every found cache and calculate the distance from previous one (excluding localtionless cache type).

So when you will have ready the listing, contact me and I'll write the checker for you

Answer 3

Unfortunately I understand that GroundSpeak are not accepting new challenge caches for a year (http://forums.groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=331493&pid=5496412&st=0&#entry5496412). Rather annoyingly, I only discovered this after I'd prepared and installed the cache, but hadn't got as far as submitting it. It looks like I'll have to abandon this idea, at least for the time being. Thanks for your help.
