Geocaching.com counties not matching Project GC

Fri, 17 Mar 2023 16:45:44 +0000

On geocaching.com I have a county that shows that I found a cache in it. On Project GC that county shows as not having found a cache there. How do I correct this problem in Project GC? I am just starting to use Project GC so please give specific instructions on how to fix the problem.

Updated: On my Geocaching.com profile it shows I have found a cache in Lawrence county, South Dakota. On Project GC that county does not show that I have found a cache in that county. What do I need to do so that on Project GC it also shows I have found a cache in Lawrence county, South Dakota?

my Geocaching.com name is mcmm1 if you want to look at my profile and South Dakota.

Go to Project GC then Statistics: Profile Stats; Profile name (mcmm1); Maps tab; Scroll down and choose South Dakota. Lawrence County does not show I have a cache in that county but I do have that county on my Geocaching.com profile. How do I correct that in Project GC?

Statistik missing

Tue, 09 Nov 2021 08:09:30 +0000

The Cache GC706HY was the lowest elevation point in my statistik. Below 202 meters.

Now, the Cache is archived and my statistik does missing this point.

So, I donˋt understand because archived Caches with a lot of favoritpoints still showed up.

Is this a normal behavior?

Country Badges - Missing Country

Mon, 02 Aug 2021 11:07:50 +0000

Hello, today is Monday and on Saturday I was in Salzburg (Austria). For Example: GC920H0, GC7B9WZ

But I miss Austria in the Profile Stats for the Country Badges.

Why is that?

Many greetings!

From profile stats page choose map tab. Scroll down to UK click regions or counties. Note that there are only 13 buttons to access the region breakdowns yet there are 14 regions. The button for South Wales is missing.

missing region in Incheon, South Korea

Thu, 15 Aug 2019 10:56:52 +0000

Hello, I just now noticed a missing "County Level" region in the "State Level" maps on project gc.

It is a small region, so I hadn't noticed it before.

When I searched using the "Search Counties" tool at the country level, I noticed a red spot where I didn't expect. When I zoomed in I could select Dong-gu on the country level county map.

However, when I use the "Search Counties" tool filtering at the state level, the county disappears and is not selectable. Dong-gu is also not present in the maps tab in my profile stats.

This is a legitimate "County Level" region in Incheon, Korea, but seems to be missing most places.

what do you think about algorithm for 'hide that need maintenance' by geocaching.com

Fri, 24 Nov 2017 06:05:35 +0000

The 'secret' algorithms for spotting the caches that need a maintenance at geocaching.com are according to me completely wrong. As hider, what do you think about it? How do you spot the cache that need the most a visit?

And I could say that statistically as I have more than 500 placed cache of which about 30 are selected by me for future maintenance. (with help of project-gc query 'need maintenance')

So simple for me is 3 or more 'not found', by different geocacher (yes some put two time the same message), on a different dates (yes, the same date is a complete team that doesn't search well) and by geocachers having experience (say more than 300 found and/or more than 20 placed caches).

Another is to see which cache not so often visited that have a delay of twice the mean delay between visit.

A 'wet paper' message is not for me having many caches a priority, at contrary a broken box is certainly a message for which I put the cache on my list and then, regularly (or not according to wheather) i define circuits of maintenance with project-GC (or GSAK that I still use sometimes)

Now that i see results from geocaching.com to spot hide that need maintenance,I understand better why there was a great & stormy discussion when the virtual were distributed!

As hider, what do you think about it? How do you spot the cache that need the most a visit?

My trackables. Is there an easy way to find/list the missing ones?

Mon, 03 Oct 2016 19:09:04 +0000

I have several hundred trackables out in the wild. Some of these have been marked missing other yet to be marked.

1. Is there an easy way to find which ones of mine have not been moved in a certain amount of time.

2. List all of mine that have an unknown location.

Thanks for any help!

Attributes' statistic wrong?

Wed, 10 Aug 2016 08:19:58 +0000

The "My profile page" shows under "Negative attributes" one attribute missing: "not a long hike" (the crossed >10km icon).

However, I have found a cache bearing that attribute back in March 2014: https://coord.info/GC4WMRV

So I assume there must be an error in the processing of the statistics...

Anyone else encountered the problem that a found attribute is not displayed as such in the Profile?

Profile link broken?

Sat, 02 Jul 2016 08:34:46 +0000

Hi,

Since a few weeks, there seems to be something wrong with my profile display. If I try to get my stats, it says "Profile ibar not found", though I'm logged in. However my profile is obviously there because when I go to Statistics/Profile Stats" I can search for my profile and the stats are displayed, so maybe the URL to my profile is broken?

Looking forward to your support

Thanks in advacne
