App updates/glitches

Sat, 14 Feb 2026 23:20:22 +0000

With the app/map updates over the past several weeks, I've noticed several glitches. Was hoping they would resolve, but not yet.

1) Lists do not sync properly between the website and the app. Specifically, deleted caches within a list, as well as entire deleted lists themselves continue to show up in the app, and when I manually delete them one by one in the app, I get a message that they've already been deleted...(Yes, I know! That's why I'm confused why they're still showing up!) This happens whether the list was downloaded for offline use or not.

2) When downloading lists for offline use, the prompt "you're using data" comes up, but the "continue" option does not work. You have to exit out of that and try a second time. It consistently works the second time, but not the first.

3) I used to be able to "add all" caches visible on the map to a list (a very useful tool, thank you!) This no longer works unless it's the very first thing you do when you open the app; it's as if this function is disabled after you've looked at any cache.

Can any of these functionalities be fixed? Thank you in advance.

Missing geocaches on map

Thu, 09 May 2024 09:03:36 +0000

I have some caches (on the order of between 2000 - 3500) stored in several Virtual GPS. However, when I use the show on map function, not all caches are shown in this map - although they are obviously in the list.
Likewise, I have a long-standing problem with the Live Map, which does not load any caches at all and displays an error message Error! Failed to retrieve data, reload page to try again.

Has anyone encountered this behaviour? How to solve it?

Finds of a specific weekday / Challenge checker

Sun, 21 Jan 2024 14:31:17 +0000

Is it possible to list all finds of a specific weekday (e.g. Sunday)?

And I think of hiding a challenge cache… Any given Sunday… objective is 31 finds on 31 different Sundays… e.g. Sunday the 1st, Sunday the 2nd…. Until Sunday the 31st…

How is it possible to create a checker for this? Or is there a checker, that can be copied/modified?

Sorry guys, if these questions seem to be stupid, but I’m new to this…

Regards,

Olli

Is it possible to map multiple bookmark lists at the same time?

Sun, 27 Aug 2023 12:49:33 +0000

I have multiple bookmarks that were created based on different criteria. It would be nice to be able to map multiple (or all) of my bookmark lists at once so that while I am in an area, I could see all of the caches (no matter which bookmark list) in that area and work on all of my challenges or goals at once without having to flip back and forth between lists.

How to search for event caches that I have logged

Wed, 02 Aug 2023 11:54:07 +0000

I'm trying to put a list together for Events that I have attended, just need a shove in the right direction, thanks

List of geocaches where challenge checker is fullfilled

Tue, 13 Jun 2023 07:34:40 +0000

Is there a way of making a list with all Challenge checkers that are fulfilled? I know you can use https://project-gc.com/Tools/Challenges?map but this returns an interactive map and not a list.

Can I submit a list of caches to be categorized as Challenges?

Wed, 18 Jan 2023 16:39:04 +0000

I am new to Project-GC. I have maintained a list of the challenge caches I have found over the years and started comparing it to the list reported by Project-GC. I've noticed several discrepancies: primarily caches that should be added to Project-GC's list, but also some that are on Project-GC's list but really aren't challenges. Is there a forum to submit these discrepancies, or is this just busy work that takes time away from more important development efforts?

How can I generate a map (or list) of only the challenge caches I have satisfied the requirements for?

Sat, 14 Jan 2023 02:34:39 +0000

I would like to be able to generate a map (or list) of only the challenge caches I have satisfied the requirements for, but haven't yet written a note in the log. This would require excluding not only the challenge caches I haven't satisfied, but also those that have checkers that haven't been run against my account (those with a blue bubble in the lower left). Seeing that on a map (or even better, as a list) would be great!

Thank you.

Can the Personal Cache Note on cache page be loaded on Usernote 1 box for Virtual GPS?

Sun, 14 Feb 2021 04:29:01 +0000

Can the Personal Cache Note on cache page be imported on Usernote 1 box for Virtual GPS? Typically I will note that a cache helps qualify for a specific challenge. It helps when planning trips to know which caches are must finds or optional when printing the list. When sharing the VGPS with others those notes are not shared either. Thank you

Feature Request: Add New-Cache-Notifier results on a predetermined list in the virtual GPS

Tue, 01 Sep 2020 14:13:22 +0000

I have a long List in the New-Cache-Notifier and I am getting emails for every new Cache of some Owners. It would be nice if the results would not only be sent by email but could also be saved on a previously defined list in the virtual GPS.

Feature request: Button to create new Virtual GPS list

Sun, 14 Apr 2019 17:23:38 +0000

This feature request concerns a problem that I have run into a great number of times now: It does not follow naturally for me to always create a new VGPS list before I start searching for caches that I would like to go and find. Often times I can be browsing through multiple search tools (mostly Map Compare) and then figure out that I would like to save that to a list. The workflow of Map Compare is currently such that you need to have created and selected your VGPS list ahead of time if you wish to add to it.

The suggestion is to add a button to (at least) Map Compare along the lines of this:

If clicking the "New" button, you would be presented with the create new list dialogue from the VGPS page, slightly modified:

The semantic of completing the dialogue would of course be:

Create the new list
Change the current selection to the newly created list
Add the caches from the search

This would the most intuitive expectation of such a button in my opinion and it would probably require the least amount of coding to make work.

Let me know if you like the suggestion :)

Footenote: The question has been asked before, but I don't see that it got an official response back then. I think it is OK to propose it once more.

Feature Request - notification of being added to lists

Mon, 29 Oct 2018 19:06:55 +0000

Not sure if this is technically possible, but I'd like to get notifications if any of my caches are added to a publicly visible list (e.g. being added to a series). Any chance of making this possible?

List of caches - export to XLS?

Thu, 13 Sep 2018 16:25:43 +0000

Hallo, I have a question: could PGC show all of my cache found (name, code, date, kind), could this list be differently filtered or advised and exported to any CSV or XLS? It would be a good challenge cache tool that does not include a script for verification or just for prominals :-) I just do not want to use the other SW that does it, but otherwise PGC is absolutely satisfying :-) Thank you :-) HawkeyeCZ

Enhancement request: Allow extended multi-select

Sun, 27 May 2018 08:30:05 +0000

In all lists that can have multiple items selected, but especially in VGPS lists, I would like the standard set of extended multi-select options (preferably implemeted with the standard keyboard commands):

Shift-home: select to start of list
Shift-end: select to end of list
shift-click: select to second item

Although admitibly I am using a logitech keyboard (for an android device) that does not have home and end buttons, so maybe also allow h and e when the list has focus.

Close out old Unanswered

Wed, 15 Nov 2017 08:29:29 +0000

I'm looking on these community forum for some time, and started to contribute days ago.
Also I'm new there are topics I be part of the game.

So I started to look into the unanswered questions and found 14 pages of unanswered Qs the last from 2014. On the first page there are already Qs 6 month old.

I suggest to close the old unanswered to tear down the list to the real active Qs, all the others are no longer worth to be shown here.

where can I get a list with all logged favorites?

Mon, 29 May 2017 11:10:56 +0000

Dear all,

I would kindly see a list of all visited caches with favorites.
How can I do this easily?

Thank you for your help, kind regards, July4ers

How do I find out what Country Batches there are in Europe

Thu, 18 May 2017 06:56:28 +0000

I was trying to figure out what Country Batches there are in Europe, I know of Isle of Man, Jersey, San Marino etc. Recently I found that Aland Islands (between Sweden and Finland) has it's own regions, does it have a Country Batch as well. Also are there more specific country batches, I could not find a list.

How do i sent all current caches on the live map to Virtual GPS

Sat, 13 May 2017 23:18:29 +0000

I like to do filters on the live map and then add each cache to the virtual GPS.

Currently I click on each Cache to bring up the pop-up window and then click the add to virtual gps button.

How do I add all caches visible on the live map to the Virtual GPS in one go?

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.

How do I specify my bookmark list of my FTFs on the Settings page?

Mon, 01 May 2017 19:00:01 +0000

I want to get Project-GC to monitor my FTFs, but I don't want to edit all my FTF logs. I see that I can create a public bookmark of all my FTFs and then specify that bookmark name on the Settings page.

How?? I can't enter anything in the drop down box. Any help appreciated.

Can I choose my own list of challenge checkers to be shown on the frontpage?

Fri, 06 Jan 2017 20:34:56 +0000

When I open the page with challenge checkers, a pre defined list appears at the bottom of the list. The page knows, that I prefer Denmark, but appearently does not know me well enough to figure out which checkers I use most often. Some of the challenges I have completed and found, some are out of my reach and some are relevant to me. But some are missing.

Is it possible for me somehow to mark of the challenge checkers that I most often use (like a top 25)?

Thanks in advance,

Best regards from GEO Karen, Denmark

Is it possible to make a new list from a subselection of caches in a current list?

Thu, 01 Sep 2016 16:43:04 +0000

I have virtual GPS list of all the caches by a certain owner and I want to pull a specific subset of those out to be a separate list. Is that possible?

List of archived caches

Tue, 26 May 2015 18:49:51 +0000

Is there an easy way I can create a list of all caches that I've found which are now permanently archived?

Enhancement request: Improve spacing to reduce undisplayed data

Mon, 04 May 2015 00:55:50 +0000

Half bug report, half enhancment request...

In lists of graphed caches, such as the three lists in Find Bad Logs, the lists often have every second cache name (which is a clickable link) undisplayed. This appears to be because there is no room to show them. I have seen this problem in IE and Firefox.

Could we please have the vertical spacing between lines increased a bit, this should reduce the problem (or even remove it!)

thanks,

Tom

Can a create a Virtual GPS gpx file for my Cemeteries Not Found bookmark list?

Sat, 11 Apr 2015 15:17:13 +0000

I have a large 1000 caches bookmark lists of cemetery caches in my province. I would like to create a Virtual GPS of that list and then narrow that list down to a radius of about 50km from a city I'll be visiting. Then I'd like to save that smaller list as a GPX file.

Can I do this with Project-GC?

Colour coding in diffrent "list view" search results?

Mon, 23 Mar 2015 14:57:58 +0000

When one makes a search that generates a list view, ie favorite points, wilson points, top caches etc etc, the bars are colour coded. See example:

http://project-gc.com/Statistics/TopFavWilson?profile_name=tomastomas&country=Sweden&region=%C3%96rebro&submit=Filter&chartpage=2

Is there somewhere a key that explains what the different colours mean? I have figured out some of them (inactive caches, my own caches etc) but it would be nice not having to guess.

How to manage own List in Milestones

Mon, 02 Mar 2015 20:48:28 +0000

Sorry, I asked it before, but I do not find that item:

I like to see a list of my fullfilled Challenge Caches. Therefore I built a list that is implemented on the MILESTONE Sheet in my statistik.

Today I wanted to edit that list but I am not able to find the place, where I can edit the list.

Sorry, but since this problem occures the THIRD TIME to me, I think it ist too dificult hidden (for me).

Where do I find the Edit-Possibility, an isn't ther a possibility like FTF-List, that I construct al LIST in GC.COM the wil be shown in my GCP - Statistik.

Thanks for (once more) an answer...

Using project-gc.com lists in official Geocaching app?

Mon, 16 Feb 2015 13:46:30 +0000

This might be a question for the official Geocaching app rather than for project-gc.com.

But has anyone found a way to import a project-gc.com-list or -gpx-file into the official Geocaching app for e.g. iOS?

This can be either directly to the app or through migrating a list from project-gc.com to geocaching.com?

Create Virtual GPS of finds

Sun, 01 Feb 2015 19:18:51 +0000

Maybe this is available and I have not stumbled across how to do this, but I would really like a list of all my finds in the new virtual GPS. If it would stay updated even better.

Is this possible and if not would it be something others would want put onto the roadmap for virtual gps?

Ability to select another Virtual GPS or create new from a filtered list or really anywhere else appropriate.

Fri, 23 Jan 2015 16:45:54 +0000

I submitted this as a help ticket, but think it may be more appropriate here. It would be great, when you have a filtered list of caches (or really anywhere you'd get a list of caches to add to a Virtual GPS) that you have the option to select a different Virtual GPS (especially if one's not selected) or the ability to add a new one on the fly.

How is it possible to have a list of all my placed caches in virtual GPS

Tue, 20 Jan 2015 13:32:19 +0000

Starting with my registration..

Now that virtual gps2 is alive, i walked all the features in project GPS, but don't find a way to have a list of all my caches placed that i could add in another list for maintenance

How is it possible to have a simple list with some simple or trickey criteria to be put in virtual GPS or to be listed for selection to virtual gps?

(I worked in fileter, but doesn't seems to be usable anywhereelse)

list with pics: travelbugs

Fri, 28 Nov 2014 17:13:19 +0000

Is it possible, that we can generate a list of all our found travelbugs including the little pics? Like http://www.geocaching.com/profile/?guid=cc12861e-a886-4a9c-aa86-d889e23dbdb2 in the section "Bewegte oder entdeckte TBs und Coins".

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.

Every other name is not shown in lists: Top Cachers - Lists with colors per year

Fri, 05 Sep 2014 06:27:43 +0000

Hi,

when I look at a list in the TopFinders section that has colored bars with entries for each year, the bars are displayed correctly, but every other name is missing. I can see only the names of cachers #1, #3, #5, ... but not number #2, number #4, ...

Here is an example: TopFinders - TopCachers - Filter:Germany, Difficulty D5 only:

I had this problem for several month already, but only in the Firefox Browser (which I use in its current version 32). With GoogleChrome it used to work, but now it doesn't work there anymore (with a freshly installed Chrome version 37). Neither does it work in the current version of InternetExplorer (Version 11). I use Windows 8.1.

Has anyone else had this problem? Any idea how to fix it?

Thanks for your help,
