Have a "What happend to the TB I dropped" feature (Temporary auto-watching)

Thu, 16 Sep 2021 20:07:55 +0000

Since years I am missing a comfort function for geocaching.com and I hoped, that maybe project-gc.com could close that gap.

Use case / Background:
Whenever I carry a trackable I take much care to drop it of at a suitable location based on the owners wish and the goal for this trackable. After dropping it I would very much like to know if it continued its journey by being picked up by the next cacher or it got lost or something else.

Desired solution / feature:
Have PGC automatically detect, that I dropped a TB from my inventory. Follow the TB acivity automatically from there on and send mails with its activities (e.g. discoveries) to me until and including the next retrieval log. End the following automatically then.
If several TBs are auto-followed with such a feature PGC could send a daily summary mail for all of them.
IMHO this could be a interesting feature to attract more (paying) members.

Current workaround:
Once I dropped the TB I put it on the gc.com watchlist to see what happens. Once I see in my mails, that it got retrieved I have to manually remove it from the watchlist. Quite a hazzle involving several manual steps (which I sometimes forget and its difficult to sort out).

To be precise:
I do not request a copy of the gc.com watchlist feature, but a service which starts to follow on "Drop" and ends on next "Retrieve" for any trackables from my inventory.

Filter Map by Most-Watched

Currently, we can filter the geocaching map based on hidden date, month, favorite points, etc. I would love the ability to filter the map based on most-watched geocaches in the same way. Caches with a high watch-count tend to be difficult / challenging in some way, or otherwise very interesting, and I think it would be just as useful to see this kind of filter along with the favorite point filter to seek out interesting and challenging geocaches.

Thoughts?

Mass additions to watchlist

Does anyone know any easy way of adding multiple caches to my geocaching watchlist without having to go into each cache individually?

Would it not be helpfull te be able to view the watchlist on linstings that you own. ?

Much like the favorite list "view who favorited this cache".
