Where can I find a list of the oldest geocache for each country - list used by PGC for checkers

Fri, 13 Feb 2026 14:56:20 +0000

When traveling, some countries have multiple caches hidden the same day (Bahamas has 4 caches hidden Jan 13, 2003) Where is the list PGC uses to determine you have the lodest in a country

What is the sort order rule for Top County Finders (Poland)?

Mon, 26 Apr 2021 11:17:38 +0000

Dear Sirs,

I was wandering what is the sort rule, the order in the list of top finders - is it the largest number of cache finds in counties? Less number of only one find in the county?

I am the second on the Poland list (Lekkoduch) but I was the the second person to achieve 380 counties finds, so what it tthe sorting patern, if it is nit a secret :)

Regards

360 Map View List

Sun, 07 Feb 2021 15:26:30 +0000

Is there are way to create a list of caches from the map view of the 360 from home of segments I still need? It’s tedious to have to click on each cache icon in the blue ray. Wish I could add a screen shot of what I’m talking about.

List nearest 10 qualifying geocachers for a challenge based on a set of coords.

Mon, 13 Apr 2020 02:52:48 +0000

It would be handy if there was a feature (perhaps a premium/paying feature), that you can specify a challenge checker and specify a set of coordinates and the feature would return a list of the nearest 10 geocachers that meet the requirements. Or, maybe list up to 20 in ascending distance order, so that one could choose among the list for other criteria. This would be useful if a geocacher would like to hide a duplicate to that challenge in their area (at the given coords) and needs to provide the reviewer with a list of 10 area geocachers that qualify. I know you can check individual geocachers names for each checker, but for more challenging challenges, you might have to check dozens to even hundreds of likely geocachers and might not remember to check a few that do qualify. I know Project-GC is constantly checking all premium/paying members to see if they qualify for challenges, so I assume getting a list of those premium members that had qualified for a challenge would not be a big processing hog. I do not know if it also checks the non-premium members automatically (and just not allow them to know), or if this process would need to do a check for each non-premium members on the fly. If the later, that would be a good reason to make this feature a paying member feature.

Sark country is not assigned to Europe

Tue, 25 Jun 2019 19:30:08 +0000

Hi,

as it happens we found a "new" European country - Sark - on geocaching.com web site. At Project-GC it is included as country in the list for Top Finders. In the Profile stats it is included in the World map (btw w/o flag), but it is missing in Europe map and possibly also in the list of 54 Europe countries. Findings in Sark are not included in the Guernsey ones (what is correct). I tested it on the "spuzva" profile.

Could it be possible to add Sark as 55th European country?

Thanks

Is it possible and if yes how to copy selected item from one list to another?

Sun, 18 Nov 2018 09:54:24 +0000

I know the trick/workaround : showing the first list on a Map then selecting another list on another tab then from the map adding one by one those i want to add to the second list.

In fact i would like to select a quite significant number of cache from one list and copy to another list. Is it easily possible like it is feasible in c:geo?

If not possible, would be a request to have such possibility to manage caches

Thanks

Do you like the new Groundspeak map features?

I like the feature of adding all to a list.

FTF "Limit" :(

Sun, 29 Jul 2018 10:46:39 +0000

I have a dilemma.

Yesterday, we found our 1000th (and 1001-1005) FTF. (I know, horrible dilemma ).

I use GSAK to track my FTFs but also had a bookmark lists so project-gc would detect them. I haven't tagged the logs with the [FTF] etc.

But... now, the 1000 limit for a bookmark list is preventing me from marking the 10001+ caches as FTFs.

I see only a few solutions, but would love to hear of others.

1. Go back and edit 1000 logs to add the tag (ugh)
2. Create a second bookmark list, but project-gc only recognizes one as authoritative. I could ask for a new feature to allow for additional lists.
3. Live with it.

Any other suggestions?

Shared FTF Bookmark List, But Not Public

Thu, 08 Mar 2018 03:44:42 +0000

I keep a bookmark list of my FTFs that is "shared" so that anybody can see it by clicking on the link in my GC profile, but it's not "public". I don't see a need to have the bookmark list appear on every cache page in the list, as I'm not looking for attention or any kind of recognition. I'd just like to see the FTF numbers in my stats. I know that the cache logs could be tagged so that the bookmark list isn't necessary, but I don't want to go back and edit hundreds of cache logs to put the FTF tags in them.

Could it be changed so that the bookmark lists only have to be "shared" and not require them to be "public"? Since shared lists are accessible to anyone, I can't see there being an issue with doing this.

Thanks!

My FTF bookmark list is nearly full

Tue, 02 Jan 2018 11:49:53 +0000

I have used a public bookmark list for my FTFs up to now but I will probably reach the 1000 cache limit soon. I would prefer not to have to start remembering to include special tags in my logs. Is there any possibility of having a second bookmark list linked to my profile? Or is tagging the only way forward?

Highest elevation list is completely wrong. Is there a bug?

Sat, 11 Nov 2017 15:07:53 +0000

I have found at least a dozen caches above 1000 m, in Norway, Finland and on Iceland. But the highest listed is the higest elevation cache I found in the US, at just above 500 m.
I have checked the list for some of my friends, and they also lack their highest elevation caches. The only exception I found is one who had all his highest caches in the US.
The caches are not missing, e.g. my first FTF was 1200 m up,and it still is there. It is just that the high elevation list is wrong.
Looks like a bug.

How do I use FTF bookmark on Settings page?

Tue, 02 May 2017 14:33:14 +0000

I have created a Public bookmark of my FTFs. The bookmark appears in the drop-down box on the Settings page, but it doesn't hold the bookmark name; i.e. I must enter it every time I access the Settings page.
If I reload the Settings page, my FTF Bookmark is gone.

When I request list of My FTFs, none are displayed.

Any help appreciated.

What about a Wilson score for owner stats?

Wed, 28 Sep 2016 08:08:42 +0000

Well we already have the Wilson score for caches and this works great! For owners we have several lists but it would be an interesting list to see owners sorted by Wilson score!

The Wilson algorithm (for caches) is using percentage (as a quality indicator) and number of favorite points and both indicators are available for owners too so probably an owner Wilson list could be easy to be implemented?

For me I'm always looking for interesting areas for holiday spots. Of course the Wilson lists for caches is a great help but it would also be interesting if an owner is working in such an area with providing highly rated caches.

The cache list will show me the "must see hides" but of course I'm spontaneously searching for other caches in the holiday area too and being on a trip at site, just checking the live map and must decide between two tradi caches with both 20 fps it could be a helpful information if I remember that one of the two owners has a good Wilson score (which I would have checked in preparation of the stay)?

Sometimes there are owners with powertrails or many "standard" caches earning lots of fps and others having just a few caches but with high percentage so the owner by fp list isn't helpful in that case...

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?

Virtual GPS - move between sections

Thu, 20 Nov 2014 12:08:35 +0000

IHow do I move caches from one section to another?
Within the same virtual GPS?

I've got a section with mysterys.
when I've solved them I want to move them to a section for solved mysterys.

How do I do that?

Managing caches in Virtual GPS sections

Sun, 16 Nov 2014 18:14:46 +0000

Hi,

I've found following case and I'm not able to find the solution:

I have a Cache list with two sections. As far as I understand, sections should give an option to manage caches in cache lists.

So what happened - I've created a section in my cache list and wanted to add a cache to this section using "Add to Virtual GPS" from a map (for example Top Favourites) at Project-GC. As a result I'm getting new section created, which is called "map" and I'm not able to move the cache to another section in the same cache list.

Ufff, I hope that my description is not too complicated. If so, I can provide some screenshots!

Thanks,
