How to use route as filter

Have used the route builder to create a route.

Not quite sure what I am supposed to do to find caches using it.

Route via GPX Import

Mon, 12 Aug 2019 15:30:31 +0000

Hello all!

I'm curious if you can build a route from a GPX (or another file type) or any other way to view caches near a particular route.

What I'm trying to do:

The community is going to be building a power hiking trail along 47 miles of trail surrounding our city. Most of this trail is hiking and not accessible by car. Therefore, I would like to import a custom route in project-gc to see all caches in our area that intersect with the route (come in contact by radius). I've exported the GPX route from Garmin BaseCamp, so it could also be a GDB, CSV, KML, TCX, or Tabbed Text file. As I've solved most the mysteries/multis in town, I'm trying to think of a way I can view final GZ of non traditional caches to warn section owners (adopters/volunteers) of potential placement conflicts--without giving them the GZ coords of a nearby non-traditional caches.

I did look at the GPX tagged topics and searched for the answer previously. I don't think this has been asked before. Apologies if I missed this question.

Route Builder

It looks like the route builder might be back up. Has this been fixed or have we just not exhausted the API calls yet for the Directions API?

Is the Route builder function down?

I'm trying to use the route builder at https://project-gc.com/User/RouteBuilder , but nothing happens when i try to click the button "New route". Is the fundction down?

I have tried both chrome, firefox and explorer.

Anyone experiencing the same?

Is it possible to use an own track in the route builder instead of Google routing?

While using the route builder I recognized that the Google routing (in my case the bike routing) is not working optimal in my region.
In most cases I already have a GPX track for my planned caching route. Is it possible to import this track and save it as a route for further use on PGC?

If not, this is my feature request ;)

On the Route Planner page, are there plans to add a way to display or edit previously created routes?

Where is my saved route?

Wed, 28 Oct 2015 13:27:08 +0000

I started to build a route in the west of Germany into Holland and south to Belgium. I am sure I saved the route (I think I used the name "THE EPIC ROADTRIP", it is what it is...). But now on an other computer I can't find it.

I created a new route with tha name Test and it seems like it is saved ok. I can see it in a new brower session. I have not tried to find it on an other computer.

Where did my saved route go?
