Can we track how many miles you have cached by year?

Mon, 01 Feb 2021 18:07:41 +0000

I was listening to the Geocaching Podcast this morning and they were talking about the number of finds they had in 2020. I actually had my second best year in 2020, but I bet it was my most traveled year with trips from California to Washington DC, Alaska, and Florida. That got me to thinking, it would be nice to see what my cache distance was by year. Is that something we can put in the statistics somewhere or even make a checker for it? I wouldn't mind making a challenge cache like travel so many miles in a year or so many miles over so many consecutive years.

Locationless caches and distance travelled

Tue, 19 Jan 2021 18:48:07 +0000

With the announcement today of a second locationless cache (GC8NEAT), it got me wondering at how logging it will affect the cache-to-cache distance travelled statistic. While "locationless", it still has posted coordinates in Seattle (over 11,600km from my home).

Would logging this give me an easy 23,000km boost to my total distance travelled? And if I log two other caches either side on the same day, would that make it my most travelled in a day?

I could even save it for our Mega event in case Signal does make it and then log both on the same day with caches in between to make well over a full circumnavigation in a day.

Would this also give me a new country stat? (I've only been to NZ and Australia)

Average distance from home of finds, per year

Sun, 18 Oct 2020 21:01:53 +0000

I'd be interested in knowing what the average distance of my finds from home is for each year since I started caching. I supect this year will be lower than usual, though I'd like to know by how much. Is there any way of doing this in PGC?

Is there a tool to help finding a place for a new cache

Tue, 15 Sep 2020 19:28:16 +0000

I know the "Map Compare" page shows 161m circles and corrected coordinates can be used.

I can also filter the "cache type" by physical ones.

=> But i don't know how to display physical waypoints of e.g. multi and mystery caches.
Is there an additional way to get a better result?

My best check is with these parameters:

Thanks for ideas and solutions

Hello, has the "distance from home" statistic been removed from the profile statistics page?

How is the total cache to cache distance is calculated?
