is there a way to get notifications of disabled, moved or archived caches? Especially interested in archived caches for new clear locations

In wildcard search, is there any way to filter by cache status?

Sat, 01 Jan 2022 10:03:59 +0000

In the Advance Search, wildcard search, is there anyway to filter by the cache status (ie. active, disabled, archived, found, not found). This would reduce the number of rows returned from the query if we're not interested in archived or found caches.

Statistik missing

Tue, 09 Nov 2021 08:09:30 +0000

The Cache GC706HY was the lowest elevation point in my statistik. Below 202 meters.

Now, the Cache is archived and my statistik does missing this point.

So, I donˋt understand because archived Caches with a lot of favoritpoints still showed up.

Is this a normal behavior?

Map Compare showing archived caches in my home state despite no location chosen. .

Sun, 18 Apr 2021 19:40:37 +0000

I'm trying to find archived caches with map compare. It seems to focus finds only in California despite having no locations chosen. An example query:

Profile name: a user account with no finds

Cache location: all blank

Show: none found

Hidden: 2005/01/01 to 2005/07/31

Show Archived on and Custom filter Archived on

Result is 6265 archived but only in California

If I change location to US/Florida, I get 0 results

I think my query is archived caches in those months of 2005 that my user has not found.

Maybe I have misunderstanding with my query but getting results in California and not elsewhere has me puzzled.

Map NESW/Oldest Hide option labels ("disabled", "archived") should be opposite from current

Fri, 06 Mar 2020 07:33:04 +0000

Currently, in Map NESW/Oldest there are couple of filters (Hide options) labelled ("disabled", "archived").

However what they currently do is they exclude disabled/archived from search results (which is of course totally fine) but IMHO, the options should thus be named opposite from current naming.

For example, ("not disabled", "not archived") would make more sense to myself.

Archived caches statistics

Sun, 26 Jan 2020 13:58:42 +0000

Hi!

I just noticed that the statistics for "most found caches after it is archived" is no longer there? Cant seem to find it anywhere. Is it removed by mistake or knowingly for some reason?

/Best regards

Feature Request: Archived cache notifiers

Similar to the new cache notifiers, it would be great to be notified when caches are archived in a certain region.

"Remove Archived" from Virtual GPS

Fri, 02 Feb 2018 14:59:29 +0000

Please add a "Remove archived" and "Remove disabled" to the "Manage List" actions in the Virtual GPS.

Their is currently an option to "Remove owned" and "Remove found" on the "Manage List" drop down in the Virtual GPX screen.

I keep old VGPS lists to places I go to on a infrequent basis. When I am ready to go back there, I refresh my VGPS and would like to easily remove any caches that have been archived (or disabled) since I last used that VGPS list.

Live map exclude finds that are archived

Sun, 03 Sep 2017 16:38:43 +0000

Is there a way to get Live map to exclude the caches I have found that now are archived? Together with 161m circles it would be a great tool...

How do I display archived caches on LiveMap?

Sat, 22 Jul 2017 20:41:55 +0000

Over the last few days, I discovered that I can use the live map to find locations or archived geocaches to help me in planning an event for our local group. I went to use the feature today, and found that the option I had up until yesterday to "include archived caches" is no longer visible and I can't see them unless I attempt to use map compare, which bogs my system and browser down when I try to zoom in.

Map compare tool - the key above the map says 15, but map shows three

Tue, 06 Jun 2017 04:07:56 +0000

I'm trying to find caches that have been archived in my area. I've set up a filter for the area and date, added the 'Include Archived/Disabled' filter set to Archived, and added a custom filter that should display only archived caches.

When I run this I get a map. Above the map there is a key entry for caches found by me, and another for caches I haven't found. For the specific filter I've set up I see this

The 0 caches that only gasbottle has logged
The 15 caches that neither has logged

However, on the map I see only three entries, and only three appear in the list for 'None Found'. The lists for 'Both Found and 'gasbottle found' are both empty.

What am I doing wrong?

Feature Request: Don't show 161m-Circle around archived caches

As it is not important and not necessary please disable the 161m-circles around archived caches on the map.

My Found Count Includes Archived Logs

Fri, 29 Jul 2016 14:33:51 +0000

Owing to a mess up while using GSAK, I managed to accidentally log two finds on one of my own caches (which was already archived itself). I deleted (archived) both "Found" logs on gc.com and a little while later, my Found Count there came good again.

However, ever since, it has bee WRONG here on Project-gc.com. It shows TWO MORE finds on ONE MORE geocache than is correct.

I can only assume that the API includes archived found logs in its output - is there a way for Project-gc to suppress these (which are clearly not wanted)?

Thanks.

Advanced Search - Archived Caches

Wed, 25 May 2016 20:25:01 +0000

In the advanced search area, I started playing with the archived caches. I wanted to compare areas with old caches to what is out there now. However, I had a hard time finding caches after 2003... What is going on here? Does the system have to download the rest yet or is it a bug?

Thank you, 7 Iron

Can I generate a list of my found caches that has been archived in anyway?

GPX of recently archived caches (for GSAK)

Thu, 26 Nov 2015 18:33:32 +0000

Hi!

Would it be possible to create GPX files of archived Caches (Filter criteria should include a date range for the archive log, or something like "archived during the past 3 months")?

It would be helpful to get these caches in an GPX, as they are not included in Groundspeak PQs, and archived caches stay in my GSAK until I find them with some filter, refresh them, and delete them.

If I had a GPX file with archived caches, then I would import the GPX into GSAK, and as a result GSAK would have the update.

A wonderful extra feature would be, if I would get an archived GPX on all PQs that I receive regulary from Groundspeak. All I would have to enter is the time frame (e.g. caches that have been archived during the past 3 months). So the filter of my PQ would be read, and from that filter I would get caches that have been archived in the past 3 months. That would make it really simple to update GSAK!

Why does PGC include archived caches in maps?

Wed, 11 Nov 2015 17:09:51 +0000

I was looking at the D/T matrix map, and found an event that fills in one of my D/Ts. This event was archived way back in August. Solved puzzles also includes archived caches (but that is because I have corrected coordinates and a cache note).

Given that the vast majority of archived caches must be due to them having gone missing, should they really be included in map results? Or for that matter, ANY results?

List of archived caches

Tue, 26 May 2015 18:49:51 +0000

Is there an easy way I can create a list of all caches that I've found which are now permanently archived?

How do I find archived caches?

Wed, 25 Feb 2015 09:21:33 +0000

How do I make a map of all archived caches in an area?

I know that it can be done, but I cannot fint this function?

Hope someone can help me?

Thanks.

Is it possible to search for an archived cache?

Thu, 05 Feb 2015 09:46:44 +0000

Is it possible to search for an archived cache? I know the name of this cache but not the coordinates / the log page of the cache at www.geocaching.com.

Map of archived caches

Tue, 03 Feb 2015 07:31:07 +0000

Is it possible to provide a map of archived cache in an area? Just like the Coming Events Map?

Exclude archived caches from checker

Mon, 12 Jan 2015 15:32:56 +0000

When running this checker it includes caches you have found that have been arcived. Is there a tag to exclude those?

Is it possible to easily see a list of which caches you have found that are now archived?

Fri, 21 Nov 2014 18:45:32 +0000

As per the question really. I like to keep an eye on my 'Caches found which are now archived' stat, and each time it goes up I find myself wondering which cache (or caches) has been archived. I can't see a way to easily check, and wondered if there is a way?

Thanks!

Archived geocaches

Can I show all the archived geocaches in an area? Preferably only a specific type.
