What is the sort order rule for Top County Finders (Poland)?

Mon, 26 Apr 2021 11:17:38 +0000

Dear Sirs,

I was wandering what is the sort rule, the order in the list of top finders - is it the largest number of cache finds in counties? Less number of only one find in the county?

I am the second on the Poland list (Lekkoduch) but I was the the second person to achieve 380 counties finds, so what it tthe sorting patern, if it is nit a secret :)

Regards

Marcin (Lekkoduch)

Request New "Active" filter for Top Caching Streaks

Thu, 07 Mar 2019 15:15:50 +0000

Would it be possible in the future to add another filter to the Top Streaks statistic to isolate currently active streaks only?

Is it possible to filter top caches a year by nationality instead of location?

Wed, 18 Apr 2018 20:29:19 +0000

Hi, I just wanted to compare this year's overall finds between my geofriends and me. (Top caches a year).
But the filter always demands a specific location/country. We all have the same nationality but we often cache abroad. Wich means that a lot of caches are not included and that the stats are not accurate.

So would it be possible to maken a filter "nationality".
Or include the filter option "World", or make it possible to add several country's in the filter?
In that case all the found caches would be included

Thx

Is it possible to filter top loggers by caching day (during a year f.e.)?

Mon, 25 Dec 2017 10:30:12 +0000

Is this possible to filter in the top log list? So you would end up with an average of # caches/day in 2017 f.e.
Just wondering because I saw it in my personal stats and I couldn't find it how to compare with others...

Would it be possible to include extra filter "Year" to the search "Top caches a day"?

This way it would be possible to see who found the "top most caches a day" on a specific year (and compare over years)?

Any possibility to exclude mass FTFs from statistics?

Tue, 03 Oct 2017 06:29:01 +0000

It has become more and more common that organisers of events allow every participant to log all caches of the event as FTF. While I appreciate the good intentions of this – to make events more sociable and avoid the frenzy of the first hour(s) –, it completely devalues any FTF statistics. People who frequently attend big events get hundreds of (fake) FTFs in a short time. This, of course, is nonsense, and consequently the "Top FTF"-statistics are now dominated by colleagues who have long series of such mass FTFs, which makes these statistics absolutely worthless, spoiling, to a certain extent, the fun of genuine FTF hunt.

Thus, my suggestion / request: would it be possible to determine for each cache how many people have logged an FTF and exclude from all FTF-related statistics those where more then let's say 3 or maybe 5 people have done so? Ideally one could maybe add a tick box "include mass FTFs" so that those who want this could still see the statistics in the current, meaningless version.

A PS to all event organisers who may read this: a much better approach to achieve the same goal – if you want to – would be to establish the rule that NO FTFs should be claimed on any cache of the event.

Feature Request: Statistics which show where Geocaching is most popular

Fri, 28 Jul 2017 05:51:07 +0000

Right now, we have "Caches per Area". It is good to see how many caches are hidden in each (part of a) country. If you leave the filter blank it will show you how many caches are there in each country of the world. That's great.

To find out, where geocaching is most popular, you have to take the size of each country and the population into account.

As done here in 2014: http://www.cacheology.net/2014/07/11/what-are-the-top-ten-geocaching-countries/

Would be nice if project-gc had a "TOP Geocaching areas" feature to get up to date results.

Graph colours - Top caches in one year

Mon, 10 Oct 2016 05:52:33 +0000

The lines depicting the numbers in the Top streaks statistics are coloured to depict if the streak is over (red) or active (green)

It would be great if the lines could be coloured in the statistics for "Top caches in one year" with the line green if the number was achieved in the current year and red if it was achieved in previous years.

That will make it easier to interpret.

What is the sort order for the results of Top Caches In A Day?

Wed, 02 Mar 2016 06:37:16 +0000

A number of people have found the same number of events in a single day in the UK. What is the sort order of the results? What determines position 1, 2 and 3 where the top 3 have found the same number?
Cheers

hide archived does not appear to be working in top logged filter

Sat, 13 Feb 2016 23:25:38 +0000

The hide archive filter does not appear to be working on the topped logged statistics.

http://project-gc.com/Statistics/TopLoggedCaches?country[]=&country[]=United+States&region[]=Colorado&region[]=Kansas&region[]=Minnesota&region[]=Missouri&region[]=Nebraska&region[]=North+Dakota&region[]=South+Dakota&hidden_fromyyyy=2015&hidden_frommm=6&hidden_fromdd=30&hidearchived=on&submit=Filter

Aragog is showing up as the first cache and that is an archived cache.

Global region and county statistics

Mon, 09 Mar 2015 13:57:39 +0000

Is it possible to add a possibility to see top region and county finders regardles of the country that region or county is in? I am quite curious for example "Who out of Polish geocachers found most regions worldwide?" Countries without defined regions could just add one point each to this stat.

Top Hidden: Please add Custom Filters

Mon, 09 Feb 2015 13:35:57 +0000

Hi!

I would like to find out, which owners have high quality (high FP) caches in a specified area.

The list of owners in an area can be found on the Top Hidden stats. The only thing I am missing is the custom filters so I can narrow down the search to caches with >x% FP.

Please add custom filters.

Thanks!
