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.

What is the Subscription category in specification of my PGC points?

I have been at the platinum level for PGC points for three years. At the beginning of 2020, I dropped down dramatically. When I compared the specification for my points with a friend, she is about 15 points ahead for a category called Subscription. What does it refer to? I cannot find it anywhere on the PGC points page, nor is there an explanation on the wiki. Can anyone explain it, please. Thank you.

Counting of PCG points for Subscription

Wed, 04 Mar 2020 06:28:57 +0000

We are awarded points for using Project-GC in different ways. Like using Project-GC. The more you use Project-GC, the more points you get. Using the Community support system., etc etc.

I saw that I lost nearly 15 points end of 2019 within this Specification of Subscription within my points.

But how does the counting of Subscription work? By time, by year of Subscription?

Thanks for explanation.
