If this to possible to show coords of final cache when someone have 90% of series?

Like in topic - is there any option to show final coordinates.
Example - there is series of 100 caches around forest and one cache is bonus and I wants to do that when someone receive 90founds of this series will receive coords of final cache.
I was thinking to do this like challenge but then some one can type some one other nick to checker and coords will show...

cache with corrected coords, displayed bogus ones

I don't think this is a BIG problem, but for sure something to address and fix.

On a map view (e.g. MapCompare), when I click on cache with corrected coordinates, dummy/bogus coordinates are displayed in bubble:

Just a side note - icon is on corrected place on map (corrected coords are in listing, in user note window).

Additional user input fields for checkers?

Tue, 09 Dec 2014 11:18:14 +0000

There is significant number of challenges, which are (yet) not possible to write a checker for - because there is needed some additional input from user apart from his nickname.

Typical example is challenge depending on user's home coordinates - it is sensitive info, not possible to call by API (and they are not always set in user's profile, of course).

But I can imagine solution: additional input field for checker - any coordinates - entered by user. This info would not be recorded anywhere, just used for single calculation of that specific checker.

What do you think?

How can i upload json data with coords of districts to use in a checker with an excisting script?

Ee copied and modified an excisting script for testing with special data for some districts of our home town.

Now its all ok. How can we upload the coord data to use the original script with only parameter information pointing to the uploaded data.

thanks for help
