Caches Per Area bug when continent selected?

Wed, 24 Mar 2021 14:48:26 +0000

Hello,

When i used "Caches per Area" tool with a continent selected in the "Cache location" filter, I think it is supposed to show total caches in all countries in the continent, but it displays total caches in all regions in the selected continent instead.

Example, selected Europe:
#1 - Bayern - 60 492
#2 - Nordrhein-Westfalen - 56 962
#3 - Baden-Württemberg - 54 543
#4 - Niedersachsen - 53 884
and so on.

Cache Type by Area Stat

It would be nice to be able to see how many of each cache type there is in an area. This could be represented as a histogram. Instead of the Caches per Area being broken down by the different sub areas, the histogram would show cache types.

Traditionals,

Mystery

Multi

The information is currently available if someone does the work and makes several filtered caches per area requests. It seems nice to know what percentage of the caches are Traditionals versus Unknown. Also it would be nice to be able to compare regions. Does Germany have a different distribution of caches than Michigan?

Finds per Area also seems a candidate for this extension.

Feature Request: Statistics which show where Geocaching is most popular

Right now, we have "Caches per Area". It is good to see how many caches are hidden in each (part of a) country. If you leave the filter blank it will show you how many caches are there in each country of the world. That's great.

To find out, where geocaching is most popular, you have to take the size of each country and the population into account.

As done here in 2014: http://www.cacheology.net/2014/07/11/what-are-the-top-ten-geocaching-countries/

Would be nice if project-gc had a "TOP Geocaching areas" feature to get up to date results.

cache per area

Is there a mean to represent on a map the density of cache by square kilometer?

I see well the 'cache per area' report, but it's text only and i suppose it is based on administrative area, not square km.

Thanks
