Non-consistent map statistics in Crimea

Thu, 11 Nov 2021 10:36:05 +0000

I logged this cache in Crimea: https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC50FM6_sudak

According to the statistics in my Profile stats - Maps - World map, I have 1 find in Ukraine: https://yadi.sk/i/5Ht0gg0S5dNMtQ

But in the bottom of the page it shows me Ukraine with 0 regions and 0 counties logged. And according to that map Crimea is not included in Ukraine: https://yadi.sk/i/ye59fmGnKPRBNQ

Crimea exists as a county in Russia, but it also shows 0 finds there: https://yadi.sk/i/7ULbt-HMACVv3Q

Moreover, if you click on Crimea, you can see only 6 caches there, even though there are more in the region: https://yadi.sk/i/bXoJGqFBRPgtuw (and 0 caches in Sevastopol)

I don't want any political discussion here please :) I just want caches in Crimea to be shown in one country, region and county, so the statistics can be consistent.

How are Profile Map Percentages Calculated?

Sun, 17 Oct 2021 21:37:35 +0000

I'm seeing something I don't understand on my profile map pages. Take for example the United States map. North Carolina is listed with 3112 finds and (15%) whereas Louisiana is listed with 1850 finds and (37%) The counts make sense, but the percentages don't make any sense to me.

This confusion continues as I dig deeper if I drill down and look at North Carolina only. Guilford County is listed with 1085 finds and 57%, and Pitt county is listed with 352 finds and 126%. Further, the map seems to be shaded based on the percentage. What am I missing?

Thanks.

Feature request: Portugal map inset for Arquipélago da Madeira?

Mon, 19 Feb 2018 19:44:10 +0000

The statistics map for Portugal is missing the Madeira Islands. I suggest adding an inset box to the existing Portugal map to show them. I would think there is ample room for an inset box off of Point Sagres.

Looks like this has been posed as a bug before, but it's not really a bug, it's just a missing feature.

edit: and in posting about Madeira, I have forgotten about the Azores - if one is added, the other should be as well. Apologies Azores for forgetting you!

Hover to get names of regions/counties

Tue, 11 Jul 2017 11:45:27 +0000

Under Profile Stats → Maps, it would be nice if a hover over a specific region (or county, or, on the big first map, country) could show its name. This would especially be useful to figure out which unfound ones one lacks.

The data is bound to be there already, unsure about the presentation, it’s likely not done with just a simple title attribute…

Can't see regions in Switzerland anymore

Thu, 20 Apr 2017 07:18:28 +0000

Before I could see the cantons when I was on the regions tab, but this is now gone, so I'm left with the 2000+ communes from the county tab. However I can now see some other divisions (seems to be regions) which I can choose under the county button, which weren't there before.
Is this a bug? Or an incomplete feature?

Mismatch between regions and counties in Kiev, Ukraine

Wed, 02 Nov 2016 17:25:44 +0000

This is not of the utmsost importance, but I believe that it is a bug none the less.

From the maps tab in my profile stats:

I don't know how government is structured in the Ukraine, but based alone on the locations of the green spots on the counties map, I believe that there is an error.

I have found the following caches in the Ukraine:
