Finding caches with specific attributes

Is there a map filter or tool available somewhere to search for caches with a specific attribute (or all attributes missing for the Attribute Cacher Badge) ?

Cache Size History

Wed, 29 Jan 2020 17:52:54 +0000

I find the new D/T History tool very useful - thanks for that! I would also love to see a Size History for all of those Regulars I found that have magically become Micros in the woods.

This came up for me recently when I made a plan to find my 1000th micro only to re-check my stats and find I had already apparently found it.

Thanks,

Mark discovered trackables, which are not yet activated, in a special color.

Sun, 11 Nov 2018 16:00:40 +0000

When I'm using the "Discover Trackables" tool not discoverable trackables get a red background and status => error.
(Blue is used for "processed" and green for discovered trackables.)

If it's possible to differ between the "errors" please use a special colour (e.g. yellow) for not yet activated trackables.

Happy caching
Micha

Finding own logs

Fri, 14 Apr 2017 18:12:20 +0000

Hello guys :o)

I habe a somewhat weird question (as usual) ;o)
I want to make a fotoblog about my geocaching adventures and want , among other infos, add my own log to each found cache page.
What I wonder now is, does anyone of you know, if there probably a GSAK macro exists, which can find your log. I am asking, because batchgen can find your log and count the words. so i wonder, if it possible, what i am searching.
Thanks in advance for your help and infos

P.S: I hope that was understandable, my English is pretty lousy ;o)

Groundspeak denies multiple FI logs

Mon, 03 Apr 2017 06:47:10 +0000

Maybe you catched new change of rules (valid from 8th May 2017)

Cache owners will no longer be able to log a Find, DNF, Webcam Photo Taken, Needs Archived, or Needs Maintenance on their owned caches. However, event owners can log an Attended or Will Attend on their own events.
Players will no longer be able to log more than 1 (one) Find, Attended, Webcam Photo Taken, or Will Attend per cache. Players will still be able to change a Write Note to a Find if they have not already logged a Find on the cache.

These changes are not retroactive. Past logs are not affected.

So until that date we can clean logs with perfect tool Find Bad Logs from Project-GC and then will be everything watched by Groundspek directliy (finaly).

Did PGC stop this tool or it still remains in menu ?

A bigger "who favours who" tool/section?

Sun, 05 Mar 2017 18:30:00 +0000

Sometimes, I read a username in found logs, logbooks or will attend logs, maybe even in a listing as the cache owner or a name tag during an event and I am wondering, if I already had contact with them, when the username seems familiar.

What I think would be useful is an extended tool in the manner of the "who favourites who" tool. "Who logged whose caches" maybe. I want to enter two usernames and get a result which shows me, who logged which caches of the other (or maybe dnf'ed too) and vice versa.

If this is generally possible consider this a feature request. If there is a way to do this already (without GSAK) I would like to know how. :-)

Extending the "map hidden month" tool to let it work with subsequent iterations of the Jasmer grid

Fri, 10 Feb 2017 16:00:02 +0000

I'd like to see extending the "map hidden month" tool to let it work with subsequent iterations of Jasmer like map DT does with the fizzy grid.

Maybe with a possibility of filtering by years so one can see what he/she needs to finish their "second Jasmer loop" but also "n-th Jasmer loop of 2005".

I can imagine other nice features for this tool but I don't want overload the topic now.

The Hidden month tool is not working.

Fri, 30 Sep 2016 03:36:06 +0000

Everytime I click on the the Hidden Months tool, either from the link on my profile stats or from the Tools menu, I get the following error message: {"errorMessage":"Unknown error"}. I tried on three different computers during the last 24 hours, all with the same result. What is wrong? All the other tools and menu items seem to be working fine. Only the Hidden Months tool is having a problem.

Help, please.

Has the Discover trackables tool stalled?

There are 6400 in the queue andthe number is climbing. The ones I added are still in the queue.

Why the D/T Matrix tool suggest me to look for a cache that has been archived for over two months?

Sat, 22 Aug 2015 04:08:10 +0000

I search for caches in Mexico, today August 28, 2015, to fill the missing cells of my D/T matrix using the D/T Matrix tool and one of the caches it suggest me was archived on June 8, 2015, over two months ago. Is ther a bug to be fixed on the Tool?

The cache in question is GC1HJ0A Mostly Ghostly!! Night Cache.

Lost travelbug finder

Sun, 02 Aug 2015 09:58:25 +0000

Hi!

Should be possible add some tool that can read all GC logs in all caches and is searching term like TB id or Name of TB. Some users mention that in logs. Maybe then is TB not lost and can be found :)

Or some tool that helps to find our lost trackables. Feel free to create that :D

Hi, I started planning my GC-Trips with the virtual GPS Tools of gc-project. Its great.

At Least , i am able to create a gpx File which can be downloaded.

But how do I get this file on my Ipad or iphone tool (Looking4Cache).

I do manage it with steps downloading it to my mac, unzip it , move it to dropbox and finally import it to L4C. But there must be an easyer way. isn't it?

Thanks for any help. (perhaps in german??? my english ist awful).

greets Thomas0809
