"Map Placed Date" suggestion - Continents!

Question

Might be an idea: You can, obviously, select countries in this list or not select a country to allow the whole world be included, but if you're looking at a bunch of months, the sheer number of Jasmer targets and old caches in the US frequently triggers the 1000 caches limit.

 

Could "Europe" "America" and the other continents be included as country options, if thats at all possible??

You can select multiple  countries at once with the multi select. It is a paying member function(if i am not mistaken) with a button right of the region select.
Any combination of  areas in al level can be selected. It is hard to select all in Europe but a guess is that select all except US is on in most cases. Or do a search and remove countries with many caches you are not interested in.
A guess is if you select all countries and deselect US,Canada, Australia and New Zeeland almost all other caches will be in europe for old dates

When you have a good selection you can bookmark the page after you have used the search and return to it.

It is possible to achieve this yourself using existing tools. In the top right of the project-gc page, click on your name to show a drop down menu. From the menu select custom filters. Now you can create your own personal filters grouping together whatever countries you want.

Lets say you want to create a custom group called Scandinavia what you do is

1. click new and give it a name

2.Click add to add a statement.

3.Select first country from drop down list lets say we start with Sweden

4. click add statements to add it to the current statement

5. click add to filter to add the statement to the filter

5. repeat steps 3& 4  for remaining countries

6. once you have added all the countries click save to save your new filter.

Now you have a custom filter you can use it in any of the project-gc reports that support it. simply click the add filter drop down in the report and select custom filter and the name of your custom filter to use.

By using this method you create your own custom lists you can use again and again.

Note this can be used for regions or counties as well. So for instance say you live near the boundary of a couple of counties and selecting the whole region/state gives you too many results then you can use this method to create a list of counties near you then you can give them a name and group them together so you always filter on what is meaningful to you.

This is only available to premium members but it is an excellent reason to become a premium member as you get this and all the other benefits as well.
