D/T matrix of a specific cache type

Wed, 17 Jun 2026 15:55:57 +0000

I am wondering if there is a place I can see a d/t matrix of all the caches in a specific area for a specific type of cache.

For example. I would like to see the D/T matrix for all the challenge caches in Michigan.

Is that possible?

i cloned a checker, now i can't get it to open

Wed, 17 Jun 2026 12:59:48 +0000

I cloned a checker from GCBPHAV for my cache GCBRM81.

I copied the tag when the popup was on the screen, but when I search for it, I can't find it.

When I cloned it, it did not have challenge anywhere in the title or on the page, but was a mystery. I have added challenge on the page and to the title. What am I doing wrong?

This is the link that I copied

/Challenges/GCBRM81/116385

Lua Checker for distance from home coordinates

Fri, 29 May 2026 09:01:11 +0000

Hallo,

I'm looking for a Lua-Checker to create a checker for me.

The cacher had to find caches in the different distances of the geocache-statistics, to solve the Challenge.

Would someone be so kind to help me?

How do I find a filter for caches with specifik attributes?

Thu, 28 May 2026 09:16:23 +0000

I need to document how many caches with a specific attribute there are in Sweden. How can I find that number?

Map Not Found Caches does not show unfound caches

Thu, 28 May 2026 07:20:52 +0000

I have several caches in Poland that have not yet been found. I noticed that they don't appear on the "Map Not Found Caches" in Project GC. Is this a bug or is there something I overlooked? Here is the list of GC codes that I can't see on the map: GCBQGK3, GCBN15X, GCBN15X, GCBN14D, GCBN147, GCBN13N, GCBN133, GCBN133, GCBN12D, GCBN121, GCBN10Y, GCBN10Q, GCBN10D, GCBN0ZT.

Ältester Geocache im Kanton Solothurn

Sun, 17 May 2026 17:56:25 +0000

An update has removed the project-GC link that adds county info to cache pages. how do I get it back?

Wed, 13 May 2026 23:45:29 +0000

Ich habe keine Möglichkeit Checks durchzuführen, da irgend eine Einstellung gesetzt ist, welche dies unterbindet.

Sun, 10 May 2026 12:31:36 +0000

Irgendwann habe ich mal an meinem Profil etwas angepasst und mich mal durch die Einstellungen geklickt.

Irgendwie muss ich etwas aktiviert haben, dass ich mich selbst und andere Personen nicht mehr Checken kann, also so gar nicht.

In den Privatsphäre Einstellungen ist der Haken bei "Meine Statistiken vor anderen komplett verbergen" aktiviert. Diesen entferne ich und Speichere weiter unten aber die Änderung wird nicht übernommen. Der Haken bleibt.

Irgendwie habe ich das Gefühl da liegt noch eine Einstellung weiter drüber, welches das erzwingt aber bisher konnte ich nicht fündig werden.

Auch die rote Meldung "Deine Statistiken sind für andere nicht sichtbar!" steht permanent da und diese bekomme ich nicht weg.

Kann hierbei jemand helfen?

Vielen Dank im Voraus:)

81er Matrix in 2 verschiedenen Ländern

Wed, 06 May 2026 20:21:58 +0000

Hallo

Ich möchte eine Challenge legen und soweit habe ich auch alles fertig. Ich benötige noch den richtigen Checker. Es soll einmal die 81er Matrix in zwei verschiedenen Ländern erfüllt sein und das mit der Matrix auch angezeigt werden.

Im Prinzip wie bei GC9EHQR nur halt für 2 Länder

Mein GC-Code ist GCBPER5

Kann mir den Checker jemand bauen?

Gruß Patrick

mindestens 10 st Caches, welche tiefer als 100 m unter Meeresspiegel

Wed, 06 May 2026 11:25:13 +0000

Ich suche einen Checker, der angibt, ob jemand min 10 st Caches geloggt hat, die mindestens 100 m unter dem Meeresspiegel liegen.

My stats are not showing correctly.

Mon, 04 May 2026 09:43:21 +0000

My most southerly is incorrect when another user checks my stats is shows correctly but on both my computer and phone I have it incorrect.

This should also give my lowest elevation as seen in a challenge check this morning

The cache that's not registering correctly is GC2PPNP

Project-gc via the macro "Geocaching.com + Project-GC" states that I have two logs registered on a cache.

Fri, 01 May 2026 14:15:14 +0000

The macro "Geocaching.com + Project-GC" tells that I have two logs on a cache thus the total number of caches differs from what GSAK reports. If I look at the cache I suspect is the cultprit I can only find one log.
However when I wrote a note to tell why I couldn't attend I managed to first post it as an attended log which I later changed to a "write note".

Is it possible fix this?

missing D/T only for separate matrices of different types, sizes, etc.

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 18:11:39 +0000

I still see the D/T combination only for the whole matrix (showing the missing combination, which is missing from my next, 19th matrix), not just for individual cache types (EC only, virtual only, etc., separate D/T). I guess I don't understand how to do it... Example: I don't want to finish my 19th matrix, but I want to finish only my first EC matrix, or my first Large size cache matrix, or a Challenge cache matrix, etc.

Missing D/T combinations for individual geocache types

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 17:21:15 +0000

Missing D/T combinations for individual geocache types, can they be found somehow? For example, I want to complete a "clean" Matrix EC and I want to find the EC that is missing from it. Thanks.

Why doesn't the virtual GPS button show up on the 360 tool map?

Sun, 12 Apr 2026 17:20:46 +0000

I am an active member and have used the 360 tool to identify sectors where I need to find caches. When I select a sector on the map, I can see the available caches within that sector, but I do not see the virtual GPS icon on the map to be able to select the lasso tool. I can add caches to my active virtual GPS one at a time by clicking on the cache icon and then selecting the add to GPS icon, though that is terribly inefficient.

Has loops disappeared in the Map - D/T Matrix tool?

Thu, 09 Apr 2026 20:50:43 +0000

I have earlier been able to add a loop count in the Map - D/T Matrix function, but can´t find it now. Has it been removed?

This has been very useful and I have previously been able to do this regulary. If I visit a new area, there might be no suitable caches to visit for the next loop, but plenty for the ones after that.

Don´t remember for sure when I did it last time, but think I at least did it last summer.

how do I get log change notifications?

Thu, 09 Apr 2026 18:00:58 +0000

Typing in the search bar at top and clicking the magnifying glass apparently doesn't actually do anything? I have tried repeatedly to put various terms in but nothign at all happens.

The tips told me I can sign up for log change notifications for my owned caches, but I have been through all the menus and found nothing.

BTW there is no link to just go to the forums? If there is, do please let me know where to find it!

The list of extremes has all the countries where I've cached except Spain.

Why is Spain missing from my statistics? How this can be corrected?

Live Karte funktioniert mit der ,5 D/T Wertung nicht.

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 12:53:42 +0000

Hallo,

Seit ein paar Tagen kann ich keine direkten Abfragen in der Live Karte mit x,5 Wertungen bei der D und auch bei der T Wertung machen. Ich muss dann immer den x,0 Wert davor nehmen und bekomme dann alles angeboten was zwischen den beiden x,0 Werten liegt.
Beispiel: Ich suche nach einem Multi mit der Wertung D4,5 T2,5. Mit den Schieberegler muss ich nun D4,0-5,0 und T2,0-3,0 einstellen. Dann werden mir alle Multis wie mit dem Regler eingestellt sind angezeigt, was natürlich nicht das ist was ich haben will. Stelle ich D4,5 und T2,5 ein, werden mir nur Caches mit D5,0 und T3,0 angezeigt.

found a multi GCAA8E4 on 02/29/2024, but it doesn't show a leapday addon for multi cacher

Is it possible to have a Map of "types not found in a country"?

Sun, 22 Mar 2026 19:41:13 +0000

What title says, is it possible for example for me to ask project-gc for a map of belgium which only includes types I have not yet found in this particular country (virtual, earthcache, etc.). I have been checking around and I think there is no such option. thanks

How to download Map of challenge caches as a GPX file

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 17:31:36 +0000

Can I ask a question privately?

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 16:58:21 +0000

The map of districts is still green, it does not turn red for uncompleted ones.

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 12:30:58 +0000

When I click on the map of districts in the Czech Republic and mark where I have completed the Cache in Trash Out event, all the districts are green, as if I have completed it. I know that in 14 districts I have not completed the Cache in Trash Out event and they should be red. I have cleared the memory, I have also cleared the cookies. Do you have any idea what the problem is? Thank you.

How can I find cacher names that end with an underscore?

Thu, 26 Feb 2026 22:03:39 +0000

In the ‘Friends’ section, these are only displayed as [unknown name].

Is there a plan to adopt the naming convention used by Geocaching.com and make names visible with underscores?

Naming convention used by Geocaching.com
Usernames must be between 2 and 20 characters. Geocaching.com supports the following characters for usernames:

Finding virtual caches by county

Sat, 21 Feb 2026 23:50:47 +0000

I've been using "map compare" to find virtual caches by county that I have not found. I enter my geo name and Geocaching HQ Admin to compare against. This was the name I was given some time ago. It's always worked just fine. Today, I get the message that the compare name is "invalid", and "The player compare profile name and geocache 'Show' filters are required". All are filled in. Any idea what the problem is?

Live-Karte und Virtuelles-GPS

Thu, 19 Feb 2026 08:41:24 +0000

Hallo zusammen,

ich habe nun die Live-karte für mich entdeckt und bin auch ein Fan vom virtuellen GPS.
Auf der Live-karte würde ich gerne die angezeigten Caches (entweder alle sichtbaren oder durch Auswahl eines Polygons) in mein virtuelles GPS übertragen.
Gibt es so eine Funktion und habe ich die übersehen?

Extremes by area: Why did already found "Most central" caches disappear from the statistics?

Sun, 01 Feb 2026 23:41:16 +0000

In my PGC profile stats I had some extreme finds (extremes by area). Today I was surprised by the absence of all "most central" icons.

I checked, if there are new caches published, closer to the geographical center coordinate of that area, but there were no changes.

Will that issue be fixed? Or maybe PGC uses another method to determine the most central cache?

Edit challenge checker documentation please

I no longer have post or edit rights on the challenge checker forum.

Could someone please edit my post about negative attributes at https://project-gc.com/forum/read?7,27,28#msg-28 and insert 158 Not seasonal access (available all year)

thanks :-)

When I click on the "New route" button on the Route Builder page nothing happens.

Over the last couple of days, when I click on the "New route" button, nothing happens. I can pull down the existing routes menu, but I can't create a new route.
