Can we get more favorite statistics?

Wed, 27 Nov 2024 17:49:10 +0000

There was a Facebook Group post about why do you favorite an %earthcache. Well that got me to thinking. Why not have some good favorite point stats? Could we produce things like

favorites per icon
percentage of an icon favorited
favorites per state/county
favorites per D/T

I am sure others could figure out some more favorite points you have given stats that would be fun to know.

Is there a way to 'favourite'/'bookmark' challenge checkers?

Mon, 26 Feb 2024 11:30:40 +0000

Does anyone if there is a way to favourite/bookmark challenge checkers? This is specifically for checkers that aren't associated with a cache. For example, the leap year add-ons checker.

I am a paying member if that makes a difference for this feature.

Thanks in advance.

FP notification without names

Sat, 02 Mar 2019 15:21:41 +0000

I' m using the FP notification feature.

So I get every day a mail with added FP. This works well

But sometimes I get a mail WITHOUT the Cachername who removed a FP.

The Cachername who removed a FP is shown ais §OPTOUT§..

Is this a feature or a failure? I would like to see who removed a FP.

Anonymous Geocachers also caused an additional increase by 1 FP

Is it possible to know the percentage of favorite that we received?

Fri, 20 Oct 2017 15:21:45 +0000

Hi all,

The question is in th title. This percentage is displayed on every cache (number of favorite / number of Found It by premium member) but is there any way to know this rate in a global way (on all the cache we own) ?

Thanks in advance,

Favourite Geocache

Fri, 06 May 2016 05:22:05 +0000

Everyone enjoys finding a unique geocache.

What is your favourite geocache that you have found?

It could be any type: Traditional, Multi, Mystery, Earthcache, Webcam, Virtual, Letterbox, Wherigo or other kind.

Explain what made the cache better than the usual

If you must, you can answer with more than one.

Favourite Badge on Badge-Gen

Wed, 06 Apr 2016 04:33:34 +0000

Many of Project-GC users are fond of the Badge-Gen Feature in the Profile Statistics.

Which Badge in the Badge-Gen is the one that you would most like to earn? How far off that target are you?

Feature request: Color coded Favorite Points/Wilson Hot Spot map

Mon, 31 Aug 2015 09:01:19 +0000

I think it would be a really nice way to explore geocaches with a color coded hot spot map of Favorite points and/or Wilson.

Maybe recalulated with every zoom level of the map.

In my mind i picture it like this (See picture) http://fileupload.esri.com/MappingCenter/ask/8-2-11/abuckley/hotspot_image.jpg

list of loggers gave a favorite point on a specific cache

Sun, 30 Aug 2015 16:43:38 +0000

Geocaching lists the people giving FP in single pages of 10. I would like to have it on one page, but no such option available. Is there a way to get the full list in one go?

Adopted caches don't show up until a favorite point is added.

Mon, 03 Aug 2015 14:26:33 +0000

I have adopted quite a few caches recently. They are a mix of Earthcaches, Unknowns and Traditionals. They show up under the main GC site fine. However, they don't show up on my profile on Project-GC until a fav point is added. I'm a paid member and one of the perks is to get notification when a fav point is added or removed. The other caches I've adopted that haven't had a fav point added since I adopted them don't show up in my profile on Project-GC. I have 307 hides but only 294 of them on my profile.

Here's an example email of an EC that I adopted. All of the fav points showed up at once.

Favo-% and Favo-Karma owners top lists

Tue, 11 Nov 2014 16:32:05 +0000

Hi,

2 top lists that could be interesting :

1/ Favo-% top list could represent cache owners with good quality, ranked by :

(number of favorites you received / number of premium logs on your caches)

I think this value is already computed on profil stats, tab "Hides", line "total nb of favorites received" ?

2/ Favo-Karma top list could have also some interest, quite similar to the Karma top list but based on the favorite points rather than the logs :

(number of favorites you received / number of your finds) - maybe mutiplied by 10, as we gain 1 favorite for 10 logs

The both top lists may need a minimum of x favorites received.

Feature Request: "Relative" Favorite Points Over Time (Wilson score)

Mon, 01 Sep 2014 09:34:26 +0000

In "Top-Hiders/Favorite Points Over Time" we can compare owners by their absolute number of favorite points received. That's fine, but if you want to compare the "quality" of the work of two or more owners a better way would be to compare a relative value.

How about a "Relative Favorite Points Over Time (Wilson score)" feature? Favorite points received in relation to hidden caches of this owner and the time it took to collect this much fav-points. That would make owners more comparable.

Example:

Owner1: 1000 FP from 100 caches over a period of 10 years.
Owner2: 500 FP from 20 caches over a period of 2 years.
Owner3: 800 FP from 80 caches over a period of 5 years.

Who is the "better" one? Maybe a Wilson-score like statistical analysis can give us an answer.
