I would like to export my JASMER grid to excel.

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 02:21:33 +0000

I feel this must be possible and I am just missing out on the how. I could convert it by simply typing everything in excel, but then I would be required to keep up with it by hand versus a simple .csv or .xls export file.

Possible add-ons for the Jasmer Cacher badge

Mon, 02 Mar 2020 15:56:40 +0000

As a Jasmer cacher (I had a double Jasmer before, and I must work a bit to have it back) I have two suggestions for add-ons to this badge. Now it can only be looped, technically up to 9 times, in practice the limit is 4 because of August 2000. And it has no micro-badges. The Jasmer hunters have two additional goals for this challenge, ones that can be rewarded with add-ons to the diamond Jasmer:

Physical Jasmer - Jasmer challenge done only by finding physical geocaches: traditional, multi, letterbox, mystery, HQ, APE, wherigo. So: no events, virtuals etc.
Jasmer Pyramid - this is tricky. It requires a player to find: one cache places in each month of 2000 and the current year (now 2020), two caches placed in each month of 2001 and the previous year (so 2019 now), three caches placed in each month of 2002 and two years ago, etc. So in 2020 the requirement is: 2000:1, 2001:2, 2002:3, 2003:4, 2004:5, 2005:6, 2007:8, 2008:9, 2009:10, 2010:11, 2011:10, 1012:9, 2013:8, 2014:7, 2015:6, 2016:5, 2017:4, 2018:3, 2019:2, 2020:1. In 2021 the requirement for 2011-2020 will grow by one (so both 2010 and 2011 will require 11) and of course the new year will be added.

BadgeGen: Ideas for improving the Jasmer badge icon?

Fri, 28 Feb 2020 09:58:19 +0000

As suggested, I am opening a separate thread for ideas regarding the Jasmer badge icon.

Right now, the idea behind the design is the path from the Start of Geocaching (May 2000) until today. And "today" of course is no fixed end point but the ever-ongoing future.

The icon is a bit crowded, I know, but I have not yet found a clever idea on how to convert the message of the badge into a nice icon that kind of fits the others.

So, if you have any ideas or suggestions on how to improve this specific badge's design, please answer/comment here or send me a message over at geocaching.com.

I will collecting the answers on March 7, 2020 and start reworking the design then.

Feedback on new badge: Difficulty of Jasmer cacher badge

Thu, 20 Feb 2020 22:51:49 +0000

I have been looking at the makeover that the badge system has gotten as of late - in particular the new badge types.

Keeping to just one: The Jasmer cache, I have a few questions.

1. Difficulty curve of Jasmer badge

I have noticed that the new Jasmer has a very steep difficulty curve compared to other badges with max values (only 360 degrees in the circle, only 103 attributes collectable), the Jasmer cache has a very steep curve to get to the gem badges ?

Here it is as a table, comparing the percentages of Diamond level for All round cacher and the Attributes cacher against Jasmer's levels:

	All round	Attribute	Jasmer
Bronze	12,5	48,5	15,2
Silver	25,0	58,3	30,4
Gold	33,3	68,0	60,8
Platinum	50,0	77,7	91,1
Ruby	75,0	87,4	97,0
Sapphire	83,3	92,2	98,3
Emerald	97,2	97,1	99,2
Diamond	100,0	100,0	100,0

Shown are percentages compared to value needed for diamond (max). Highlighted in bold is the highest badge that rounding 90,0% of the value needed for diamond badge will grant you. Here it is as a graph:

Suggestion: Bring the difficulty of the Jasmer cache more in line with the rest of badges.

If you were to align the Jasmer badge to the difficulty of, say, the Attribute cacher, the progression in months requirement would look like this:

	Jasmer (proposed)
Bronze	116
Silver	139
Gold	162
Platinum	185
Ruby	208
Sapphire	219
Emerald	231
Diamond	237

Values within the vicinity of the above would be my proposal.

2. Diamond level for Jasmer badge as time moves on

Title says it all. Currently, Diamond is obtained at 237 months. Counting both May 2000 and February of 2020, the total max is now 238 months. Not considering scenarios that include the end of the world or other event that will potentially stop people from getting new cache listings published, presumably there max will pretty much increase by one for each new month we enter. Will the total be revised or is it the plan that 237 will forever be diamond level?

The Jasmer badge - missing on next loop

Tue, 04 Feb 2020 18:17:17 +0000

It seems that the "next round" is not working properly on the Jasmer badge. I am one cache away from loop 2, but on the badges page it shows I am missing 237 (100%)

map - hidden month

Fri, 06 Jul 2018 11:46:55 +0000

I am not sure if it is me - however when I tried to use this tool specifically to find a cache hidden in the month of November 2004 - in the UK (dates between 2004-11-01 and 2004-11-30)

it came up with no caches within this criteria - odd! there must be ?

I expanded it so no country was selected - still no caches

I then selected 2004-11-01 and 2010-11-30 (yes a very large selection - but proved my concern that there may be a bug as still - no caches !!

please advise

Could something be added to Find Stats that shows the Top Jasmer Loopers?

Mon, 11 Jun 2018 15:22:43 +0000

The lackey rockchalk was on the recent Geocaching podcast and he was talking about achieving quadruple Jasmer. Could something be added to Find Stats that shows the Top Jasmer Loopers?

Show missing hidden month for specific cache types

Thu, 28 Dec 2017 18:46:42 +0000

In my hidden month matrix, i have 4 month left to find in the year 2001. But in some other month, i just have found virtual caches (virtual, earthcache, webcam...) and no physical cache.

Now i want to search for physical caches in months where i only found virtuals.

I tried the Hidden Month map with a filter on all physical caches: didn't work. the result is only the 4 missing months.

Then, i tried a classic cache search via top logged cache, but with the filter physical caches and the specific month. It worked, but you have to search for every month again and again, because the months are not consecutive.

Is there are way to realise it in an easier way like to improve the filter in the hidden month search? Hope you understand what i want to do.

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

Sun, 30 Jul 2017 17:08:12 +0000

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

Why "Jasmer"?

Sat, 11 Feb 2017 08:39:18 +0000

I've seen several discussions, here and on GroundSpeak, about "Jasmer" statistics. Although it's not obvious, I found out that it refers to the "finds by hidden month" statistic, with some cachers trying to find a cache hidden in every month since caching started. But why is it call "Jasmer"?

Extending the "map hidden month" tool to let it work with subsequent iterations of the Jasmer grid

Fri, 10 Feb 2017 16:00:02 +0000

I'd like to see extending the "map hidden month" tool to let it work with subsequent iterations of Jasmer like map DT does with the fizzy grid.

Maybe with a possibility of filtering by years so one can see what he/she needs to finish their "second Jasmer loop" but also "n-th Jasmer loop of 2005".

I can imagine other nice features for this tool but I don't want overload the topic now.

Top hidden month loggers. Can 'Loops' be added to see who has accomplished it more than once?

Jasmer Statistics

Thu, 15 Jan 2015 15:32:43 +0000

can we have a statistic that would pull up those that completed most Jasmers?

can probably do away with some of the FTF stats if resources are an issue

thx
