filter between multiple radius distances

Tue, 21 Feb 2023 15:15:13 +0000

I am seeking a custom filter in order to isolate geocaches that are >330 miles away from a given coordinate but less than 335 miles away from a given coordinate. Any help?

Feature request: Add Min and Max distance to the 'Center & Radius' filter.

Fri, 21 May 2021 13:22:04 +0000

The ability to filter for caches that are at least xx distance away but closer than yy distance away from a center point would be a very useful addition to the already amazing "center and radius" filter.

1. This would help us be able to find caches that meet a "Well traveled cacher" type challenge cache where X number of caches must be found in each 5 mile band from your home point. i.e. 1 cache each 5 mi band to 250 mi: ex: 0-5 mi; 5-10 mi; 10-15 mi... 245-250 mi.

2. This would help when planning a trip. Often when planning a road trip with friends (maybe to some Mega event) we will make a list of caches to get along the way in a virtual gps shared list here in Project gc, but we want to ignore all caches close to home as we could easily get them on a non "road trip" day.

In both cases adding the filter should help avoid hitting the "10,000 cache limit" on the "Map Compare" tool typically used to plan a trip by removing caches that you want to ignore anyway that are close to home providing a much better experience.

Feature request: Support decimal numbers in Center/radius filter

Fri, 28 Dec 2018 20:14:55 +0000

Map Compare is a lovely tool. However, when the cache density is especially high in an area there are a lot of caches included each time you bump the radius of the search up by 1 km.

If you enter a decimal number (by either using the dot ('.') or the comma (',') character, it will be rounded down to the nearest integer.

My request is to support the entering of decimal numbers into the radius field (and indeed other distance fields as well) instead of just integers. That, or permit us to enter radius in meters as an integer ;)

Is it possible to get ~30 markers with a 4km radius each as an overlay on the live map?

Thu, 25 Feb 2016 10:26:16 +0000

So what I am trying to do is the following... get a map with ~30 markers (coords) and a 4km radius around each of those markers. Then list GCs within those circled areas, preferably as Live Map Overlay and list of caches. Any ideas? What I tried so far: Flopps Map (limited to 26 markers and, which is worse, no GC.com cache overlay possible), my second attempt is to define bookmarks for all caches within those 30x4km radius areas...but this is lacking the "live" part. Sorry if I explained this more complicated then it actually is.. however I cannot find a easy solution or any solution for that matter right now. Can Project-GC help me find it? ;)

In the end this is obviously gonna end up as a "Challenge-Checker" :)

Please add "Center/Radius"-filter to "Top Logs Received" and "Top Favorite Points Received"

In the Top Hidden stats there is a very useful "Center/Radius" filter. Please consider adding this filter also to

Top Logs Received

and

Top Favorite Points Received

Thanks,

Checker map by centre/radius

Wed, 04 Mar 2015 16:41:26 +0000

Hi,

the current checker map goes by country, Bundesland and Kreis/Stadt (city). This is pretty useless for those of us living on the border.

Can we please have a centre/radius selection for the checker map? Heck, for *all* maps.

Thanks!

Setting center of Center/Radius by clicking on map

Mon, 23 Feb 2015 13:29:49 +0000

Hello!

Ever so often I would like to define the center of the Center/Radius feature by directly clicking on the map. That would be really cool and helpful, if that would be possible, because sometimes the center of the circle cannot be defined by any name because it is in the middle of nowhere.

Right now it works if I have the coordinates of the center point, which can be entered, but that requires me to find those coordinates first in another programme/website. So this is rather a convinience feature request.

Thanks,
Christian

Feature Request: Center/Radius for FP over time

Tue, 27 Jan 2015 12:10:34 +0000

The FP over time is a great way to compare owners.

I would like to be able to compare owners in a specific area, and therefore it would be great to have a center/radius feature here.

Only FP from caches within the selected area should be counted.

As this is probably not so interesting for the majority of users, this could be made a special feature for paying members only.

Thanks!

Feature Request: Top Hidden List with Center/Radius filter

Fri, 23 Jan 2015 15:09:25 +0000

The Center/Radius filter ist really useful and I wish for the Top Hidden List (http://project-gc.com/Statistics/TopHidden) to have this filter.

Thanks!
