Project-GC Q&A - Recent questions tagged tools

In "Needed found dates", it is showing I have 9 find on Dec 8, it should be 10.

Thu, 09 Dec 2021 18:10:41 +0000

I checked my profile stats (project-gc) and it is showing 10 find on Dec 8. I have 8 Trads and 2 Mysteries. I also checked my GSAK I have 10. (no Lab caches), Is there a way to see what caches were used for this stat? I even opened all 10 of the web pages and checked the date.

Could something be added to Find Stats that shows the Top Jasmer Loopers?

The lackey rockchalk was on the recent Geocaching podcast and he was talking about achieving quadruple Jasmer. Could something be added to Find Stats that shows the Top Jasmer Loopers?

I think it could be helpful if there was a link-tab to external help programs/software

As a starter I like the help program tab on the site. But I think it would be handy if there was also a link to external help programs/software such as GSAK, geocachingtools,...

Great use of multiple PGC tools

Fri, 29 Jan 2016 08:16:49 +0000

Not a question, just a comment:

Just after Christmas, I created a public bookmark on geocaching.com to list all events in the UK and Ireland scheduled to take place on leap day. At the time I thought, perhaps naively, that there wouldn't be more than a dozen or so. However the number soon exceeded that, and I realised it would not be practical to maintain the list manually.

Fortunately I stumbled across the Coming Events tool, and I realised I could use this. I set the filter to list all events type in multiple locations (UK/Ireland/Jersey/Guernsey/Isle of Man) hidden from 2016/02/29 to 2016/02/29. This gave a list which I could transfer to a new VGPS list. Finally, I could export that to my bookmark list. This only takes a couple of minutes, since the Coming Events filter remembers my choices from last time, so I go through the process a couple of times a day to keep the bookmark list up to date.

I post this in case anyone fancies trying this for their own country or state, and to say thanks for providing these excellent tools.

Incidentally, the present total of events is 122!

Can the Map Counties(in Tools) be changed to Map Countries?

Tue, 03 Nov 2015 13:29:34 +0000

I like the clarity of the map i get from Tools/Map counties and would like a similar on countries.
Found countries green, Not found red.
Should not be hard to generate.

D/T`s in a day - 18 unique finds, no duplicates ?

Mon, 20 Apr 2015 08:25:12 +0000

I have not been able to find a checker where the output lists 9 D`s PLUS 9 T`s found in a single day. The one I did find ( http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC5AEV9/11309) will produce a false positive, seeing it allows to use a D2/T2 for both criteria.

I really want it to list 18 unique finds, i.e not using the same cache for both - this checker may give a green light for 9 if you have completed a diagonal.

There may already be a checker that does what I want (?), but I haven`t found it yet. So is it possible to use the "11309"-checker with a modified tag - or is there another option/solution to this? :)

This is for my challenge GC5RPG6.

Tools (e.g. comparing different user or D/T-Matrix finder) don't work, neither in Chrome nor in Firefox 36

New discover tool?

Tue, 18 Nov 2014 20:45:58 +0000

I didn't see the change about the discover tool anywhere in the News, so I thought I'd ask here. Why was it changed, and why is there a queue for trackable discovery now? Is the tool now meant to be passive, and processed only as resources permit? Or is it simply just stuck at the moment?

Tool: downloading all the caches of a country

Mon, 17 Nov 2014 21:49:20 +0000

HI,

In the PQ splitter you can find which date you need for making pocket queries

Is it possible to make a tool where you can download all the caches of a country?

This instead of making every time new pocket queries, because it is constantly changing

Thanks

Can i create a tool for a specific challenge (with challenge checker)?

Thu, 13 Nov 2014 08:03:06 +0000

Hello,

I found a great challenge in my area, and it even already has a challenge checker.

I wondered if i could create a tool, similar to the tool to plan a route of all the missing D/T so that i can plan a route of the missing parts of that challenge and finish it.

Here is the D/T tool i refer too : http://project-gc.com/Tools/MapMatrix

Here is the challenge checker i am thinking about : http://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC44YPJ/293

Basically, i need to filter the caches by cache owner first letter and compare with the result of the challenge checker to only get the one's i'm missing.

Any idea where to begin with that?

PQ splitter seems to be way off - like by about 500 caches. Anyone else experience this?

Mon, 01 Sep 2014 22:34:21 +0000

When I ran the PQ splitter the first date range said it would include 990 caches. When I actually made the new pocket query at Geocaching.com and ran it, it comes up with 463 caches. That's a BIG difference, and not very useful. Can anyone explain this?
