Can the WARDS in Washington DC be set up to be used for a challenge checker - like counties?

Exactly my question - WARDS are the equivalent to COUNTIES in Washington DC - so they would be appropriate from the guidelines perspective.

What would be necessary to make WARDS available for a challenge checker?

Here is polygon data:

In the "Map" tools, filter by Continent?

In all the "Map X" tools eg Map Hidden Month, can we have a filter for Continent, ie Europe, Africa, Asia, America (N&S), Middle East ?

This is particularly useful as I can see where I need to go in Europe, to find the elusive hidden month or DT I need which might be a short plane journey away.

I know it benefits Europe more than anywhere else in the world, but I think everyone could get use out of it. I often filter by the whole world and remove some of the bigger countries (eg America and Australia, New Zealand) but its still messy. If I could just see European countries, it'd be awesome :)

They could even be listed at the top of the country selection field when it is set to multiple filtering or something if you wanted to keep it simple.

Request for Search filters: Would like to be able to filter the DT, Hidden Month & Hidden Date filters by geography

On a DT search I can specify that I would like to try and complete that grid using only Multi-caches or Unknowns or Larges or Micros etc. and it will show results only for that specific type of cache.

I would like to see expanded search filters for this and other grid searches.

Primarily, I would like to work on completing things like my Jasmer/Fizzy/Day Grid of possibilities by a geographic location. So for instance I want to complete the available Jasmer grid for the state of Texas or I would like to do a Fizzy results for finds and possibilities just for California.

I am thinking of challenging myself to complete a Fizzy Grid in several states and currently I am checking that information manually - which is a pain. Pretty sure all the data is in the project-gc database to do this fairly easily and I know the "check by functionality" exists for container types and sizes so dont think it would be a large effort
