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.

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 09:24:37 +0000

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

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?

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

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.

Does the recent bug with the adventure labs include the main Profile Stats page for a given Profile?

Mon, 19 Jan 2026 02:31:28 +0000

For example, on the main page listing ones stats with the tabs Finds, Milestones, FTFs, etc,

it has the graph that shows the finds by year and cumulative. then below that it shows breakdown by year. 2026 only has finds for month of January. (148 caches and 11 labs, which it indicates under the months for the year)

my 2025 year section, says I have TOTAL FINDS of 930. but the spot under the months for the year 2025 says specifically, "Includes 1062 Adventure Labs"

This is the spot I'm asking about. I'm sure the lab count is accurate, because I know I did a good amount of hundreds for the month of July. but for the TOTAL FINDS says 930, and the note underneath says includes the labs. if that is the case, then the TOTAL FINDS should be close to 2000.

I know Geocaching treats them differently. And til recently here as well and i see that being a paid member adds functionality. I just think the Total Finds should be updated if the generated page puts a note that the labs are included or not regards of paid status

I am missing in TAB "Challenges" the line: Plus an additional xxx signed challenges, of which yyy is now fullfilled.

Sun, 18 Jan 2026 13:02:51 +0000

ON all PC an on PC of my friends i am missing the Line in TAB "Challenges" the line: Plus an additional xxx signed challenges, of which yyy is now fullfilled.

With the profilname of other owners i can see the missing line.

What is wrong on my profil ???

Show changes to cache pages

My Founds vs Adv Labs

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 10:02:13 +0000

Hi,
Since today my Adv Labs are no longer included in my founds. It is separated now.
That means that “the daily Cacher” and “The Calendar Cacher” statistics are no longer correct.
Did I missed the announcement on this subject?
Best regards

Why doesn't GCG95Z appear in MapHiddenMonth when I filter for geocaches hidden in 2003?

Sat, 03 Jan 2026 17:31:45 +0000

Hi,

I'm using the MapHiddenMonth tool from time to time but today I found what could be a bug or maybe there is something I didn't understand.

For example, if I look for geocaches I didn't find in Switzerland and that was hidden in 2003, the result omits GCG95Z "Basel 1" that was hidden in june 2003.

What could be the reason of this? Moreover, I'm concerned that maybe other geocaches won't show in this tool when I use other filters (false negative, somehow).

Regards.

Wrong Challenge Statistik

Mon, 22 Dec 2025 15:15:12 +0000

Hello,

I'm currently working on completing my 365-day challenge statistics and only have 5 days left until the end of the year. I've suddenly noticed that March 16th is missing from my statistics. However, I logged a challenge on that day: https://coord.info/GC51W5Z. This cache is no longer showing up in my logged challenges list. What could be the reason for this? My log entry hasn't been deleted and has been there since I logged it on March 16th, 2019. Can anyone help me so I can find the cache in my statistics and have it displayed correctly?

Is there a possibility to get the adventure name to a single lab station in the list of lab caches?

Wed, 17 Dec 2025 14:12:47 +0000

My county map in the state map is not showing completed. Tried the refresh tab still no updates. Help please

How to find caches by hidden date

Sun, 07 Dec 2025 19:20:30 +0000

A challenge checker says I have found every calendar hidden date except one. I need to find caches hidden on January 21. I filled out the tool and thought I did it right, but it returned zero. I think that's impossible! What should I have done differently? Screenshot to be added if I can figure out how (seems to want only a URL)?
