Tools in the checker system

2026-01-23T14:07:00Z

254729: /* Others */ Add birthday calendar.

The [[Project-GC]] [[challenge checker|challenge checker system]] can be used to create different tools for checking statistics that are not available in the normal [[:Category:Statistics| statistics]] provided by Project-GC. Some of them are related to the user that is 'checked' and some of them relates to a geographic area like a country or the world. The aim is that this article should list all of them. Most of them are marked with ''"not a checker"'' since these can not be used for [[challenge cache]]s.

254729: /* Limited to a specific country */

The [[Project-GC]] [[challenge checker|challenge checker system]] can be used to create different tools for checking statistics that are not available in the normal [[:Category:Statistics| statistics]] provided by Project-GC. Some of them are related to the user that is 'checked' and some of them relates to a geographic area like a country or the world. The aim is that this article should list all of them. Most of them are marked with ''"not a checker"'' since these can not be used for [[challenge cache]]s.

Cookie consent dialog

2025-05-24T20:06:21Z

254729: typo

[[Project-GC]] will display a cookie consent dialog (developed by Google) when it wants to send cookies to the user. If the cookie storing information about this consent is later removed, the consent dialog will appear again. Also, you will be asked to reconfirm this periodically, every few months or so.

== Other things interfering with the cookie consent dialog (and solutions) ==

'''Adblockers''': Some adblockers will cause your answer to the cookie consent dialog to not get stored, causing the dialog to appear for every page view. To fix this, set your adblocker to whitelist Project-GC. If you are a paid member, whitelisting Project-GC in your adblocker is not a problem since you won't be shown ads anyway.

'''Disconnect plugin''': With the "Disconnect" plugin present in Firefox and ABP running, a user reported having to have to turn the "Disconnect" plugin off (thus allowing Google tracking) to get the dialog to not trigger.

'''Kaspersky antivirus''': A user reported that he had to whitelist Project-GC in Kaspersky antivirus in order to not have the antivirus trigger the dialog (Mac, Chrome).

MapCounties

2024-03-03T09:48:33Z

254729: /* Usage */

== Introduction ==
[https://project-gc.com/Tools/MapCounties Map Counties] is a tool where users with a [[paid membership]] can get an overview of what [[county|counties]] in a country they have logged a geocache in and which they have not logged a geocache in. The map can also be used to find suitable caches for logging that county.

The search can be done at either country or region and the result shows as a map with the standard [[map feature]]s, under the map are information about how many counties the user have logged in the area and how many counties there are in the area. All the counties and the number of caches the user have logged in each area are listed in alphabetical order under the map.

== Filters ==
The filters available for the tool are:
* [[filters#Profile name|Profile name]]
* [[filters#Cache location|Country / Region]]
* [[filters#Cache type / size|Cache type / size]]
* [[filters#Difficulty / Terrain|Difficulty / Terrain]]
* [[filters#From / To Log Date|Logdate]]
* [[filters#Show Disabled / Archived|Show Disabled / Archived]]
* [[filters#Loop|Loop]]
* [[filters#Custom filter|Custom filters]].
It should be noted that these filters generally only affect the geocaches shown on the map, not if the county would be considered logged or not. The Logdate-filter would be the exception since it can be used to show how many counties the user logged during a specific year or other time frame.

== Usage ==
Clicking on a county will give a small box with the number of finds and the name of the county. Clicking the text in the box will show the geocaches available in the county.

== Colors ==
The polygons of the counties can show in three colors. Red polygons where the user have not found a cache, green where they have found a cache or enough caches if the loop-filter is applied. The third color is a mix of red and green, this indicates that the user have found enough caches in the area but if [[Antipode cache]]s and other caches with similar issues are excluded the user have not found enough caches in the area. In [[Color blind mode]] blue is used instead of red, the red-green mixed color remains the same.

MapRegions

254729: /* Usage */

== Introduction ==
[https://project-gc.com/Tools/MapRegions Map Regions] is a tool where users with a [[paid membership]] can get an overview of what [[region]]s in a country they have logged a geocache in and which they have not logged a geocache in. The map can also be used to find suitable caches for logging that region.

The search is done at country level and the result shows as a map with the standard [[map feature]]s, under the map are information about how many regions the user have logged in the country and how many regions there are in the country. All the regions and the number of caches the user have logged in each region are listed in alphabetical order under the map.

== Filters ==
The [[filters]] available for the tool are:
* [[filters#Profile name|Profile name]]
* [[filters#Cache location|Country]]
* [[filters#Cache type / size|Cache type / size]]
* [[filters#Difficulty / Terrain|Difficulty / Terrain]]
* [[filters#From / To Log Date|Logdate]]
* [[filters#Show Disabled / Archived|Show Disabled/Archived]]
* [[filters#Loop |Loop]]
* [[filters#Custom filter|Custom filters]]

It should be noted that these filters generally only affect the geocaches shown on the map, not if the region would be considered logged or not. The Logdate-filter would be the exception since it can be used to show how many regions the user logged during a specific year or other time frame.

== Usage ==
Clicking on a region will give a small box with the number of finds and the name of the region. Clicking the text in the box will show the geocaches available in the region.

== Colors ==
The polygons of the regions can show in three colors. Red polygons where the user have not found a cache, green where they have found a cache or enough caches if the loop-filter is applied. The third color is a mix of red and green, this indicates that the user have found enough caches in the area but if [[Antipode cache]]s and other caches with similar issues are excluded the user have not found enough caches in the area.

Milestones tab

2024-02-19T16:09:14Z

254729: grammar, mostly

The '''Milestones tab''' is the second tab in a user's [[Profile Stats]]. As the name suggest, this tab shows a user's milestones. This tab has three modules.

== Milestones ==
The first module shows a list of the user's milestones. The first milestones are 1, 10, 50 and 100 caches, after that and up to 1000 caches every hundredth cache is considered a milestone. Between 1000 and 5000 caches every five hundredth cache is considered a milestone, and beyond that every thousandth cache is listed. At the bottom of the list the users most recent cache is shown, even if it is not a milestone.

=== Order ===
Project-GC orders the logs by three fields in ascending order.
# The date of the found log.
# The full timestamp of when the log was created.
# The ID of the log. Since logs of geocaches and logs of lab caches are from different systems their log-ids are not compatible. In this case labs are sorted last. But this will only be an issue if a log for a geocache is created on the same second as one for a lab cache.

Before 2024-02-19 Project-GC sorted the milestones based on log dates and log-ids only. Lab caches were always sorted last on every day.

=== Different milestones at Project-GC vs Geocaching.com ===

The milestones on this tab may not match the milestones shown in the user's Geocaching.com profile for multiple reasons. The milestones at Project-GC are calculated and not fetched from Geocaching.com. At Geocaching.com, the user can chose to lock their milestones to a specific cache even if it's not the milestone that is calculated by Geocaching.com, this is not possible to do at Project-GC. Geocaching.com also includes retracted geocaches, which aren't even known to Project-GC. This should not be an issue in the future since new guidelines say that logged geocaches shouldn't be retracted (but the effect for previous loggers of already-retracted cacher will remain, though).

== First cache by country ==
This is a list of the first cache the user found in each country they have found caches in. The list shows date, country, cache type, GC code and the milestone of that cache.

== First cache by cache type ==
This is a list of the first cache the user found of each cache type they have found. The list shows date, country, cache type, GC code and the milestone of that cache.

Virtual GPS

2024-02-10T16:34:45Z

254729: /* Share corrected coordinates */

{{FIXME}}
The [https://project-gc.com/User/VirtualGPS Virtual GPS] system is one of Project-GC's core features, and also one of the more powerful ones. Imagine a shopping cart for Geocaches, that's what Virtual GPS is. Where ever you are at Project-GC, you can add hand picked, or a group of, geocaches into a list. This list can layer in be sorted, filtered, shared and exported. It's the perfect tool to handpick target geocaches for your trips, [[BadgeGen|badges]] or [[challenge]]s. Only Project-GC's [[paid membership|paid members]] can use this feature.

==Creating a list==
''Details to follow''

==Filtering==
The caches in the Virtual GPS can be filtered by the following:
* Remove found
* Remove owned

== Sorting ==
The caches in the Virtual GPS can be sorted based on:
* By ascending Cache ID
* If the user has found them
* Alphabetically by GC-code, cache name, type, size, [[cache owner]], country, [[region]], [[county]], placed by name, added by, or any of the usernotes entered
* By ascending cache ID, difficulty, terrain, latitude, longitude, elevation, number of finds, number of [[Favorite point|FPs]], FP percent, or [[Wilson score]]
* If the cache is locked, archived, disabled, or [[premium member only|premium only]]
* By earliest [[hidden date]], publish date, last find date, or last archive date
* Latest logs - how many of the last 7 logs were finds
* Source page / link - the page the cache was added from. Source link gives the link rather than the page title.

== Sharing ==

== Share corrected coordinates ==
=== Flow ===
# Add geocaches
# Sharer: Manage list -> Share corrected coordinates -> Share
# Receiver: Manage list -> Share corrected coordinates -> Fetch

=== Details ===
Only geocaches that were included in the VGPS when the sharer selects "Share" will be updated for the receiver when selecting "Fetch". If more geocaches are added to the VGPS later, the sharer must select "Share" again to make the corrected coordinates for the new caches available for the receiver (who has to run another "Fetch"). This also applies when removing and re-adding a geocache to the VGPS.

Corrected coordinates are, as usual, looked for both in the Corrected coordinates field and the Personal cache notes field (the first parsable has prescedence).

Project-GC's Share corrected coordinates system never overwrites a solution for the Receiver. If the Receiver already has corrected coordinates those are kept for the Receiver (which means that if the receiver has an incorrect solution, it will be kept instead of an offered correct solution - Project-GC doesn't know which solution is better).

The Fetch mechanism also writes to the receiver's Personal cache note. If there already is content Project-GC puts its text at the beginning. It will look something like:

PGC-VGPS (<vgpsId>,<timestamp>): <coordinates>

== Importing ==
Users can import geocaches from [[Bookmark list]]s existing at Geocaching.com. Note that the bookmark list needs to be public or shareable, except for the users own lists which can be private.

== Exporting ==
The caches can be exported in the following ways:
* Map
* [[Gallery]]
* [[Bookmark list]]
* CSV file
* GPX file

[[Project-GC]] will display a nag screen when it detects that the user is using an adblocker. This nag screen does not know whether the user is a paid user of Project-GC or not, so it will complain even for paid users (who don't get ads shown to them) who have an active adblocker. The solution here is to whitelist Project-GC in their adblocker which will deactivate the nag screen, but being paid members they still won't see any ads.

GIS data

2021-05-29T14:15:19Z

254729: grammar, subheading

== What's it used for? ==
All geocaches's region and county information is determined by using GIS data. The GIS data consists of polygons representing the borders of such regions and counties. Not all countries have support for this since we don't yet have map data for all countries. All countries which have region support at [[Geocaching HQ]] also have region support at [[Project-GC]]. Since most of the regions are chosen by the [[cache owner]] for the [[geocache]]s, Project-GC is overriding the information from [[Geocaching.com]] and using the GIS data instead.

The [[Maps_tab|maps]] in [[Profile_Stats|Profile stats]] are computer generated maps based on data from [[OpenStreetMap]]. The same data is used to overlay other maps at [[Project-GC]] with polygons representing the regions and counties.

== Source ==
[[Project-GC]] uses [[OpenStreetMap]] as a source for this data, for all countries. The exception is Canada which is a mix between [[OpenStreetMap]] and some Census data. [[OSM-Boundaries.com]] is used as a middle layer between the sites to ease the process.

== The update process ==
Project-GC does not update its GIS data from [[OpenStreetMap]] automatically. It's an expensive process and it also requires some manual reviewing. At times data in [[OpenStreetMap]] isn't reliable and that needs to be detected before it's imported. [[OpenStreetMap]] doesn't always have data that fits the geocaching world straight out of the box either. In many cases polygons needs to be created by joining others, or by subtracting one from another and so forth.

As mentioned, [[OSM-Boundaries.com]] was created to ease this process. It's a tool to get a good overview of the [[OpenStreetMap]] data in an hierarchic way. This meant that states are inside the country, counties within the states and so on. This relation data is not something that automatically exists in [[OpenStreetMap]]. Polygons can however have tags hinting something about their relations, but they are not trustworthy. [[OSM-Boundaries.com]] instead calculates the relations based on overlaps.

Since Project-GC doesn't read data directly from [[OpenStreetMap]] it needs to wait for the data to be available for it (or actually for OSM-Boundaries.com) in a convenient way. The tech used to update [[OSM-Boundaries.com]] is based on [[OpenStreetMap]]'s [[Planet.osm]] dumps, which normally are created by [[OpenStreetMap]] once per week. Once the dump is available the data within it usually is 2-3 days old, so it's assumed that it takes them that long time to compile it.

[[OSM-Boundaries.com]] aims to import a new database once per month, but two databases per month can be imported upon need. Importing a new database into [[OSM-Boundaries.com]] requires a lot of resources, and a single import requires more than 21 days of processing, therefore they can't be imported more often than twice per month. However, most of the data is accessible before the import is fully completed; already after a few days most data will be available for download.

An import into [[OSM-Boundaries.com]] is very resource heavy. A raid of SSDs are working under heavy load while it's consuming over 50 GB of RAM and having 10 CPU cores maxing out. During the import close to 1 terabyte of data is being handled, once the import is complete most of the data can be dropped though.

Since [[OpenStreetMap]] is based on community contributions it does happen that data in it breaks. This is another reason to why the import process can't be fully automated. If for example a county polygon suddenly isn't a closed loop (has a gap somewhere) it can't be imported into [[OSM-Boundaries.com]], and therefore won't end up in [[Project-GC]]. ''Self-intersects'' in polygons are causing similar issues. Due to these reasons [[OSM-Boundaries.com]] doesn't only provide its users with the latest [[OpenStreetMap]] ''planet.osm'' extract, but it makes multiple versions available. This way one can also look into the history of the polygons from [[OpenStreetMap]].

=== Update process timeframe ===
With all the above in mind, [[Project-GC]] usually won't update polygon data without reason to. If you know of major changes in a country you can inform [[Project-GC Support]] about it so they can look into updating that country's data. It does however require that [[OpenStreetMap]] has the newer data. Please understand that there is some turnaround time. From that [[OpenStreetMap]] is updated it's up to one week for it to end up in the [[Planet.osm]] dumps, then a few weeks until [[OSM-Boundaries.com]] imports that, and so on. It's unlikely that [[OpenStreetMap]] changes will end up in [[Project-GC]] in less than a month, even though it's prioritized.

Maps tab

2021-05-20T19:42:54Z

254729: grammar

The '''Maps tab''' is a tab in a user's [[Profile Stats]] that shows where they have found caches. At the top there is a World map that shows how many of the 250 countries the user has found caches in. Under the world map all the found countries are listed with the number of caches found in each country.

Next is a map of the country where the user has found the most caches followed by maps for the [[continent]]s where the user has found caches and after that a map for each country that the user has found a cache in. This tab will be very long if the user has logged caches in many countries.

The maps of individual countries have toggle buttons for regions and counties, and there are also buttons for each individual region that the user has found caches in, clicking the button with the regionname produces a map of the region with the found counties marked.

== Colors ==
Every area where the geocacher has found at least one geocache gets colored to show that they have geocached there. There are five levels of colors: the darker the color, the more finds in the area. The color levels are based on two requirements, whichever is lowest (easiest) is used.

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: right;"
|+ Color levels
|-
! Level !! Fixed requirement !! Dynamic requirement
|-
| 1 || 1 || N/A
|-
| 2 || 10 || 10%
|-
| 3 || 100 || 30%
|-
| 4 || 1000 || 50%
|-
| 5 || 5000 || 80%
|}

The dynamic requirement is based on how many percent of the currently active geocaches the geocacher has found. More than 100% is possible if some of the finds are now archived. Using fixed numbers only has been tried, but for almost every single geocacher it means a darker color in 1-2 zones and then light colors in all others. Also there is a big difference between finding 1,000 geocaches in Germany/Nordrhein-Westfalen vs Germany/Hamburg, which makes it hard to use only fixed numbers.

== Image sizes ==
The default size of the map images are made to fit Profile stats by using a size of max 734 pixels in width or 512 pixels in height. When clicking a map it opens up in a larger version. By copy/pasting the link a user can adjust the image size to use by adjusting the scale parameter (by adding &scale=VALUE to the url). Available values are: 1 (default), 2, 4, 8, 16.

== Map sources ==
All maps are generated based on data from [[OpenStreetMap]] with one exception, Canada, which has a mix of sources. The polygon data is imported via [https://osm-boundaries.com OSM-Boundaries.com]. If you find issues with the borders the data can be corrected in [[OpenStreetMap]], Project-GC will then update its polygons with the next update.

==Style guide?==
I've been thinking about the general style of writing of the wiki. Maybe a "style guide" would be a good thing? I don't think it has to be the gigantic [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style Wikipedia Manual of Style], but some short pointers in a list format maybe? I opted to put it here since it would make sense to me if was a section of the welcome-page.

I'm thinking things like:
* Use "Project-GC", not "we" or "PGC". If copypasting from the main site rewrite the text to fit this.
* When creating a new page, try to include a link to a old page and add a category.
* Guidance for when to link to wiki-articles vs when to link to the main site when writing about tools etc.
* When creating a page for a top list or tool, use the URL-name for the main wiki-page and created redirects from the menu-name and the title on the site.
* Use bold and not italics to emphasize the name of the page in the article.

Mainly I realized that I have not been consistent with some of these things and if the goal is a manual I think consistency would make sense. :) It would be easier to make it happen now instead of making a huge rewrite when there is even more content. --[[User:4523550|4523550]] ([[User talk:4523550|talk]]) 14:43, 21 November 2020 (CET)

Challenge cache

2020-11-13T19:59:32Z

254729: grammar

==What is it?==
A '''challenge cache''' is a cache that requires the player to fulfill a geocaching goal before they are allowed to log the cache as found. Challenge caches have to be mystery caches and have the challenge attribute, they also must have the word ''Challenge'' in the cache name. Per the guidelines every challenge cache published after April 21, 2015 has to have a [[challenge checker]].

More information about challenge caches can be found in the challenge cache guidelines.<ref>[https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=127&pgid=206 Challenge cache guidelines] at Geocaching.com</ref>

== Challenge caches at Project-GC ==
By default, all geocaches with the Challenge-attribute will be considered as challenge caches. However, an attribute could be placed on a non-challenge cache by accident or with malicious intent to "improve" the statistics. A cache owner could also forget to add said attribute to a challenge cache. The [[reviewer]] should review for incorrect use of the challenge attribute but they might miss this during review or the cache owner might add or remove the attribute after the cache is published.

To solve this problem Project-GC uses a list of ''Challenge exceptions'' to make sure that the statistics regarding Challenge caches is as correct as possible. Project-GC also has a system for disabling the [[challenge checker]] if the cache lacks the Challenge-attribute.

=== Challenge Exceptions ===
The Challenge Exceptions-system is a list of caches that need to be checked manually by volunteers from the Project-GC-community to see if they are challenge caches or not. The process is simple, the volunteer checks the cache description to see if the cache is a challenge or not and then uses an 'up-vote' to say that it is a challenge or a 'down-vote' to say that it is not a challenge. The vote should be placed based on if the [[Geocache]] requires the finder to do something before/when logging it and not if it is a 'good' challenge or if it complies with the current guidelines.

Only geocaches with a confidence score of at least 35% will be be considered as an exception, the more homogeneous votes, the higher the confidence. For example 3 homogeneous votes should give a high enough confidence score, while for example 3 up-votes and 1 down-vote will not be enough. There is a forum<ref>[https://project-gc.com/forum/list?12 Challenge checker exceptions] at Project-GC.com.</ref> to discuss special cases and believes related to these exceptions. The forum is readable by everyone, but only those with voting access can write in it.

Caches are added to the exceptions list automatically via a set of criteria but can also be added manually, the easiest way to suggest exceptions is via the [https://project-gc.com/qa/?qa=16848/mystery-caches-really-challenge-caches-missing-challenges dedicated thread] in Project-GC's [[Community support]] system.

==Related tools==
[[Challenge checker]]s are the main Project-GC tool related to challenge caches.

If you've come to this page, you are probably a new user of Project-GC's wiki. Welcome!

There's not that much that is special here, compared to for instance Wikipedia (formatting works in the same way).

* When you first arrive on this page you won't be allowed to edit anything since you are not logged in. Click the "Log in" link in the top corner of the page and you should automatically be logged in as long as you are logged in on Project-GC.
* You will automatically be logged out from the Wiki-pages after 1 hour of idle time.
* All new users will have their posts [[Special:Moderation|moderated]]. After a few significant edits you can expect to be promoted and not moderated anymore.
* Feel free to add articles you find fitting. If you don't know where to start, there is a link tree on the [[Main Page]] which links a few missing pages and you could also check out [[Special:WantedPages]] that lists all pages that are linked from other pages but do not yet exist. There might also be several pages tagged with [[:Category:FIXME|FIXME]] that need attention.

Have fun documenting [[Project-GC]]!

254729: /* Profile stats */

{{FIXME|reason=Work in progress}}

== Origin of data ==
[[Project-GC]]'s statistics are based on data from [[Geocaching.com]]. The data is fetched via the [[Geocaching LIVE api]]. [[Project-GC]] uses a combination of the official API available to general [[Geocaching Partners]] and a private ''Enterprise API''.

The data is still owned by [[Geocaching HQ]] and [[Project-GC]] pays royalties to be allowed to fetch and use the data like it does.

== Fetching of data ==
Geocaching data is continuously being updated in [[Project-GC]]s databases via the mentioned API. This is done using several parallel methods:
* Daily fetch of all newly published [[Geocache]]s.
* Continuously updating of finds for [[Geocacher]]s. See [[Data synchronization#Refreshing_profiles|Refreshing profiles]] for more details.
* Regular updates of [[Geocache]] information. See [[Data synchronization#Refreshing geocache data|Refreshing geocache data]] for more details.

== Refreshing profiles ==
Geocaching profiles are continuously being updated based on a rule set in the background.

When refreshing Geocaching profiles all new and updated logs are fetched from the API, and also metadata around the Geocaching profile itself, like for example the name of the [[Geocacher]].
=== Rules ===
* [[Geocacher]]s that haven't been refreshed in 24 hours and are [[Paid membership|paying members]] are being refreshed.
* [[Geocacher]]s that haven't been refreshed in 2 days but used [[Project-GC]]'s website the last week are being refreshed.
* [[Geocacher]]s that haven't been refreshed in 7 days but used [[Project-GC]]'s website the last 3 months are being refreshed.
* [[Geocacher]]s whose [[Profile stats]] page has been viewed recently.
* ... and so on, there are ~10 rules like this in place.

Also whenever a user visits the website of [[Project-GC]]s the system checks when that user was updated. If it's a paying member there will be yet another update if the data is more than 1 hour old. However, this is a job that gets queued in the background and it might take a few minutes until it kicks in.

A [[Geocache]] with new logs will also get scheduled to have its metadata (difficulty, terrain, size, country ...) updated.

It can be noted that a [[Geocacher]] who is a [[Paid membership|paying member]] is more likely to have up-to-date data at [[Project-GC]] when coming back to the site, while freemium users might notice that their data isn't as fresh.

== Refreshing geocache data ==
The refreshing of Geocaching profiles mentioned above makes sure that [[Project-GC]]'s users have frequently updated data, but some [[Geocache]]s might be left out because they have only been logged by [[Geocacher]]s not very active with [[Project-GC]]. Therefore [[Project-GC]] also refreshes [[Geocache]]s.

The frequency of when [[Geocache]]s are refreshed are based on a mix of several variables, like for example:
* Last found
* Hidden date
* Disabled/Archived state
* Number of logs

When a [[Geocache]] gets refreshed metadata about the [[Geocache]] gets updated in the database. Also all new/updated logs are updated in the system.

== Log data ==
The log entries fetched are the same, regardless if they are fetched from Geocaching profiles or from Geocache data. It's just different approaches/angles to retrieve the same information. If Geocaching profile X has found Geocache GCX, then GCX automatically also has a log from Geocaching profile X.

== Databases ==
Now most [[Geocache]] data and logs exists in the primary database cluster and are fairly up-to-date. Most of the data will only be hours old in the database, but a fair share is expected to be 24-36 hours old.

However [[Project-GC]] has more than one database cluster. Most statistics on the web are created based on data from another database cluster. The primary database cluster replicates its data every 4th hour into the second cluster, adding an additional ~4 hours of latency. As an example most top lists are based on this secondary cluster, while [[Profile stats]] are not.

As a technical note, the primary database cluster is a row-based relational database. The secondary cluster is created and meant for database harvesting and is a column-oriented DBMS.

== Statistics ==
As mentioned in [[Data synchronization#Databases|Databases]], most statistics are based on a secondary database cluster. Even if [[Project-GC]] itself has up-to-date profile data the secondary database cluster might still have the old data. This is due to the fact that a full replica of the data-set is copied every fourth hour.

Most top lists are using this secondary cluster. Basically everything that gets heavily computed (data harvesting) uses the secondary cluster, while more raw fetches use the primary one. [[Profile stats]] is an exception.

It's also worth mentioning here as well that [[Lab caches]] generally aren't included in statistics. They aren't technically compatible and it would be very complex to do this. Again, [[Profile stats]] can be an exception.

Finally all generated statistics are [[Data caching|cached]]. The period it gets cached may vary but everything between 5 minutes and 1 hour is very common. So if two persons ask for the same statistic, it will only be computed the first time, the second person will receive a cached version. This has the downside that it potentially also adds more latency and shows older data in some cases.

== Profile stats ==
* Generated from ''current state'' at the date written in the header.
* Labs included depending on setting and paying/freemium.
* Cached for 7 days for freemium, 24h for paying.
* Caching is not shared between the user the data is about and other viewers.
* Based on the primary database cluster.

== Challenge checkers ==
Challenge checkers use a mix of the different database clusters. If the [[Checker script]] fetches the user's finds from [[Project-GC]] it will use the primary database cluster. But some other more advanced API methods might use the secondary database cluster instead. This is for performance reasons.

== Special numbers ==
Some statistics are very special since they are based on pre-calculated values. This is usually because it would be extremely hard to calculate this in real-time, therefore it's based on pre-calculated values. [[Project-GC]] calculates the following data for every [[Geocacher]] in the background on a regular basis. Normally daily, but there are some exceptions to it. Usually that some users gets calculated more often.
* dt loops
* streaks
* calendar loops

This is not affecting [[Profile stats]]. If numbers like these are needed, [[Profile stats]] calculates them itself instead of using pre-calculated data. This is also needed since it may have [[Labcache]] data merged.

Even if [[Project-GC]] itself has up-to-date profile data the secondary database cluster might still have the old data. This is due to the fact that a full replica of the data-set is copied every fourth hour.

Most top lists are using this secondary cluster. Basically everything that gets heavily computed (data harvesting) uses the secondary cluster, while more raw fetches use the primary one. [[Profile stats]] is an exception.

It's also worth mentioning here as well that [[Lab caches]] generally aren't included in statistics. They aren't technically compatible and it would be very complex to do this. Again, [[Profile stats]] can be an exception.

Finally all generated statistics are [[Data caching|cached]]. The period it gets cached may vary but everything between 5 minutes and 1 hour is very common. So if two persons ask for the same statistic, it will only be computed the first time, the second person will receive a cached version. This has the downside that it potentially also adds more latency and shows older data in some cases.

== Profile stats ==
* Generated from ''current state'' at the date written in the header.
* labs depending on setting and paying/freemium
* Cached for 7 days for freemium, 24h for paying
* Caching not shared between foreign viewer and domestic
* Based on the primary database cluster

== Challenge checkers ==
Challenge checkers uses a mix of the different database clusters. If the [[Checker script]] fetches the user's finds from [[Project-GC]] it will use the primary database cluster. But some other more advanced API methods might use the secondary database cluster instead. This is for performance reasons.

== Special numbers ==
Some statistics are very special since they are based on pre-calculated values. This is usually because it would be extremely hard to calculate this in real-time, therefore it's based on pre-calculated values. [[Project-GC]] calculates the following data for every [[Geocacher]] in the background on a regular basis. Normally daily, but there are some exceptions to it. Usually that some users gets calculated more often.
* dt loops
* streaks
* calendar loops

This is not affecting [[Profile stats]]. If numbers like these are needed, [[Profile stats]] calculates them itself instead of using pre-calculated data. This is also needed since it may have [[Labcache]] data merged.

254729: /* Databases */

{{FIXME|reason=Work in progress}}

== Origin of data ==
[[Project-GC]]'s statistics are based on data from [[Geocaching.com]]. The data is fetched via the [[Geocaching LIVE api]]. [[Project-GC]] uses a combination of the official API available to general [[Geocaching Partners]] and a private ''Enterprise API''.

The data is still owned by [[Geocaching HQ]] and [[Project-GC]] pays royalties to be allowed to fetch and use the data like it does.

== Fetching of data ==
Geocaching data is continuously being updated in [[Project-GC]]s databases via the mentioned API. This is done using several parallel methods:
* Daily fetch of all newly published [[Geocache]]s.
* Continuously updating of finds for [[Geocacher]]s. See [[Data synchronization#Refreshing_profiles|Refreshing profiles]] for more details.
* Regular updates of [[Geocache]] information. See [[Data synchronization#Refreshing geocache data|Refreshing geocache data]] for more details.

== Refreshing profiles ==
Geocaching profiles are continuously being updated based on a rule set in the background.

When refreshing Geocaching profiles all new and updated logs are fetched from the API, and also metadata around the Geocaching profile itself, like for example the name of the [[Geocacher]].
=== Rules ===
* [[Geocacher]]s that haven't been refreshed in 24 hours and are [[Paid membership|paying members]] are being refreshed.
* [[Geocacher]]s that haven't been refreshed in 2 days but used [[Project-GC]]'s website the last week are being refreshed.
* [[Geocacher]]s that haven't been refreshed in 7 days but used [[Project-GC]]'s website the last 3 months are being refreshed.
* [[Geocacher]]s whose [[Profile stats]] page has been viewed recently.
* ... and so on, there are ~10 rules like this in place.

Also whenever a user visits the website of [[Project-GC]]s the system checks when that user was updated. If it's a paying member there will be yet another update if the data is more than 1 hour old. However, this is a job that gets queued in the background and it might take a few minutes until it kicks in.

A [[Geocache]] with new logs will also get scheduled to have its metadata (difficulty, terrain, size, country ...) updated.

It can be noted that a [[Geocacher]] who is a [[Paid membership|paying member]] is more likely to have up-to-date data at [[Project-GC]] when coming back to the site, while freemium users might notice that their data isn't as fresh.

== Refreshing geocache data ==
The refreshing of Geocaching profiles mentioned above makes sure that [[Project-GC]]'s users have frequently updated data, but some [[Geocache]]s might be left out because they have only been logged by [[Geocacher]]s not very active with [[Project-GC]]. Therefore [[Project-GC]] also refreshes [[Geocache]]s.

The frequency of when [[Geocache]]s are refreshed are based on a mix of several variables, like for example:
* Last found
* Hidden date
* Disabled/Archived state
* Number of logs

When a [[Geocache]] gets refreshed metadata about the [[Geocache]] gets updated in the database. Also all new/updated logs are updated in the system.

== Log data ==
The log entries fetched are the same, regardless if they are fetched from Geocaching profiles or from Geocache data. It's just different approaches/angles to retrieve the same information. If Geocaching profile X has found Geocache GCX, then GCX automatically also has a log from Geocaching profile X.

== Databases ==
Now most [[Geocache]] data and logs exists in the primary database cluster and are fairly up-to-date. Most of the data will only be hours old in the database, but a fair share is expected to be 24-36 hours old.

However [[Project-GC]] has more than one database cluster. Most statistics on the web are created based on data from another database cluster. The primary database cluster replicates its data every 4th hour into the second cluster, adding an additional ~4 hours of latency. As an example most top lists are based on this secondary cluster, while [[Profile stats]] are not.

As a technical note, the primary database cluster is a row-based relational database. The secondary cluster is created and meant for database harvesting and is a column-oriented DBMS.

== Statistics ==
As mentioned in DATABASES most statistics are based on a secondary database cluster. Even if [[Project-GC]] itself has up-to-date profile data the secondary database cluster might still have the old data. This is due to the fact that a full replica of the data-set is copied every forth hour.

Most top lists are using this secondary cluster. Basically everything that gets heavily computed (data harvesting) uses the secondary cluster, while more raw fetches use the primary one. [[Profile stats]] is an exception.

As mentioned in DATABASES most statistics are based on a secondary database cluster. Even if [[Project-GC]] itself has up-to-date profile data the secondary database cluster might still have the old data. This is due to the fact that a full replica of the data-set is copied every forth hour.

Most top lists are using this secondary cluster. Basically everything that gets heavily computed (data harvesting) uses the secondary cluster, while more raw fetches use the primary one. [[Profile stats]] is an exception.

It's also worth mentioning here as well that [[Lab caches]] generally aren't included in statistics. They aren't technically compatible and it would be very complex to do this. Again, [[Profile stats]] can be an exception.

Finally all generated statistics are [[Data caching|cached]], the period it gets cached may vary but everything between 5 minutes and 1 hour is very common. So if two persons asks for the same statistic, it will only be computed the first time, the second person will receive a cached version. This has the downside that it potentially also adds more latency and shows older data in some cases.

== Profile stats ==
* Generated from ''current state'' at the date written in the header.
* labs depending on setting and paying/freemium
* Cached for 7 days for freemium, 24h for paying
* Caching not shared between foreign viewer and domestic
* Based on the primary database cluster

== Challenge checkers ==
Challenge checkers uses a mix of the different database clusters. If the [[Checker script]] fetches the user's finds from [[Project-GC]] it will use the primary database cluster. But some other more advanced API methods might use the secondary database cluster instead. This is for performance reasons.

== Special numbers ==
Some statistics are very special since they are based on pre-calculated values. This is usually because it would be extremely hard to calculate this in real-time, therefore it's based on pre-calculated values. [[Project-GC]] calculates the following data for every [[Geocacher]] in the background on a regular basis. Normally daily, but there are some exceptions to it. Usually that some users gets calculated more often.
* dt loops
* streaks
* calendar loops

This is not affecting [[Profile stats]]. If numbers like these are needed, [[Profile stats]] calculates them itself instead of using pre-calculated data. This is also needed since it may have [[Labcache]] data merged.

Auto-challenge-checkers

2020-06-16T11:35:21Z

254729: Various copy edits.

== What is it ==
The Auto-challenge-checkers is one of the many [[paid membership]] features at Project-GC. If you are a paid member, Project-GC automatically runs [[Challenge checkers]] for you in the background so that when you view the Challenges you will know beforehand if you fulfill them or not. This will for example be shown on the maps where the cache icon will get a challenge status indicator in the lower left corner. The checker image in the cache descriptions can also show the status. The status shown is a cached result, not a real-time result.

== Background processing ==
Since there are tens of thousands of [[Challenge checkers]] and also thousands of paying members we can't run them all for every account on an hourly basis, or even daily. Some [[Challenge checkers]] require about a second to run, while others require 30 seconds. Due to this we have an algorithm that prioritizes what we expect to be most relevant.

Basically there are ten processes running 24/7, only storing results from the [[Challenge checkers]]. The process is the following:
* Go through all paying members and order them by the date when they were last processed.
* Find the 500 most relevant [[Challenge checkers]] for each user. These 500 are chosen by going through a few steps. As soon as 500 is reached, the rest of the steps are skipped.
# Challenges with a note from the user, that haven't been run for a week.
# Challenges not logged by the user, not tested the last month, and within 500 km from home.
# Challenges that haven't been tested the last two months, within 500 km from home.
# Challenges not logged by the user and not tested the last two months, in the same country as the user. If country is United States, also requires the home state.
# Challenges not tested the last three months, in the same country as the user. If country is United States, also requires the home state.
# Challenges not logged by the user and not tested in three months, within 1000 km from home.
# Challenges not tested within four months and within 1000 km from home.
# Challenges not logged by the user, not tested in four months, from the whole world, in a random order.
# Challenges not tested for six months, from the whole world, in random order.
* Run those (up to) 500 challenge checkers.
* Start over, with the next user in the queue.
Steps depending on home coordinates are skipped if they are not known to [[Project-GC]].
Step 1-7 are ordered by distance from home, closest to home is run first.

== Exceptions ==
Some Challenge checkers are never run automatically. Basically there are two variants:
# Some of the Challenge checkers at Project-GC are written in alternative ways and are not supported by the Auto-challenge-checkers. It's challenge checkers written by employees at Project-GC and they aren't compatible.
# Challenge checkers that often require more than 30 seconds to run are excluded from the automation. This to leave room for multiple others to be run instead.

== Hardware used ==
As mentioned there are ten processes handling this. The server they are running on is not the bottleneck. The bottleneck is a database cluster, which is shared with other data harvesting processes. It consists of 8 servers, with 16 hardware threads each, and more memory than they need.

== Future ==
We plan to provide a front-end configuration tool where the users can move the focus. For example, if a user plans to travel to another country, they might want to ask the system to run the Challenge checkers in that country instead. The current idea is to allow up to five circles of various radiuses on a map, which the users can move themselves.

Such page would probably also include some analyzing numbers, like which Challenge checkers were last run, when they were run, how many have been run and such.

254729: Answer.

Where does it describe the state badges? What factor determines the level achieved in a country?
* There is currently no description of the state badges. They still work exactly like they did before the release of BadgeGen v4. This means that you will get (at least) bronze as soon as you have logged a cache in a country. All the other badges require logs in certain percentages of the number of regions of the country in question, so the number of regions required for a certain badge level vary from country to country. Some countries don't have regions at all and give diamond for the first log (The Vatican, for instance).
For symmetry, shouldn't the Matrix Cacher badge have an FTF add-on to match the existing D/T add-on for the FTF Addict badge?
* That would mean awarding two addons for the same achievement. What's the point?

The "Jasmer Challenge" is a challenge to find at least one cache hidden on every month since the first cache was hidden in May 2000. It was named after the owner of the first [[Challenge cache]] set that entailed filling this requirement (https://coord.info/GC1GBC1). To gain badges, log geocaches hidden on all months since Geocaching started, May 2000. For practical reasons the current month is neither counted or required.
This is the only badge that generally will downgrade itself if you stop geocaching. It will however not be downgraded below ''Platinum''. See ''Requirements'' for more details.

== Requirements ==
The ''Medals'' uses static values as requirements, but the ''Gemstones'' uses dynamic ones. Bronze for example requires 36 unique hidden months, where the current month isn't counted. Ruby, which is the first ''Gemstone'', requires 216 hidden months, plus 70% of the rest of the months. Again, the current month isn't included in the math.
Diamond requires all hidden months (216+100%), except the current month, which again isn't included in the math.

== Loop ==
https://project-gc.com/dimages/pgc-badge.php?icon=TheJasmerCacher&quality=D&loop=9&.png
By logging multiple finds for each calendar month you can loop this badge.

== Addons ==
No addons available.

== History ==
This Badge was added with the BadgeGen 4.0 release early 2020.
The requirements were increased after 1-2 weeks. Most new badges are likely to get some adjustments during the first two months.

254729: /* History */

== General information ==
There are 46 ''Badges'' in total, each with 8 different qualities. Most of them can also be "looped", ie getting "double ''Diamond''" or more. Once you have Ruby or higher you will unlock ''Addons''.

== History ==
BadgeGen was originally created and maintained by [[Kyle Mills]], as a macro for GSAK. In [[Project-GC|Project-GC's]] early days we had the license to make a similar implementation of it embedded in [[Project-GC]]. In year 2020, the ownership of BadgeGen was transferred to the owner of Project-GC. This was done since [[Kyle Mills|Kyle]] himself wasn't geocaching anymore, and both parts wished for the name of BadgeGen to live on. Alongside with the acquiring of the BadgeGen license the product went through a big overhaul, adding new badges, rebalancing, new features and a new badge design. The new design was created by Markus (clappy).

[[Kyle Mills]] maintained BadgeGen up until, and including, version 3.x. The new version owned by [[Project-GC]] became ''version 4'', plain and simple.

== Loops ==
After reaching ''Diamond'' status, you enable the possibility for loops, for some ''Badges''. Once you have received twice of the requirement for Diamond you will get a circle with number two in it in the top right corner. Some ''Badges'' aren't possible to loop at all, some has a loop-limit of 9, and others 99.

https://project-gc.com/dimages/pgc-badge.php?quality=D&loop=2&.png
https://project-gc.com/dimages/pgc-badge.php?quality=D&loop=9&.png
https://project-gc.com/dimages/pgc-badge.php?quality=D&loop=99&.png

== Addons ==
When achieving the status of a ''Gem badge'' you have unlocked the possibility of ''Addons''. Several ''Badges'' can have mini-badges added to them, these are called ''Addons''. For example, ''The Traditional Cacher'' will get a nice 366-addon added to it if you have logged a Geocache of the type Traditional on every date of the calendar.

The following placeholder ''Badges'' shows the available ''Addons''. Since some of them share locations, we can not show them all on single ''Badge''. No ''Badge'' can have all these ''Addons'' and the combinations shown below aren't possible.

== Loops ==
After reaching ''Diamond'' status, you enable the possibility for loops, for some ''Badges''. Once you have received twice of the requirement for Diamond you will get a circle with number two in it in the top right corner. Some ''Badges'' aren't possible to loop at all, some has a loop-limit of 9, and others 99.

https://project-gc.com/dimages/pgc-badge.php?quality=D&loop=9&.png
https://project-gc.com/dimages/pgc-badge.php?quality=D&loop=99&.png

== Addons ==
When achieving the status of a ''Gem badge'' you have unlocked the possibility of ''Addons''. Several ''Badges'' can have mini-badges added to them, these are called ''Addons''. For example, ''The Traditional Cacher'' will get a nice 366-addon added to it if you have logged a Geocache of the type Traditional on every date of the calendar.

The following placeholder ''Badges'' shows the available ''Addons''. Since some of them share locations, we can not show them all on single ''Badge''. No ''Badge'' can have all these ''Addons'' and the combinations shown below aren't possible.

== Loops ==
After reaching ''Diamond'' status, you enable the possibility for loops, for some ''Badges''. Once you have received twice of the requirement for Diamond you will get a circle with number two in it in the top right corner. Some ''Badges'' aren't possible to loop at all, some has a loop-limit of 9, and others 99.

https://project-gc.com/dimages/pgc-badge.php?quality=D&loop=9&.png
https://project-gc.com/dimages/pgc-badge.php?quality=D&loop=99&.png

== Addons ==
When achieving the status of a ''Gem badge'' you have unlocked the possibility of ''Addons''. Several ''Badges'' can have mini-badges added to them, these are called ''Addons''. For example, ''The Traditional Cacher'' will get a nice 366-addon added to it if you have logged a Geocache of the type Traditional on every date of the calendar.

The following placeholder ''Badges'' shows the available ''Addons''. Since some of them share locations, we can not show them all on single ''Badge''. No ''Badge'' can have all these ''Addons'' and the combinations shown below aren't possible.

== Loops ==
After reaching ''Diamond'' status, you enable the possibility for loops, for some ''Badges''. Once you have received twice of the requirement for Diamond you will get a circle with number two in it in the top right corner. Some ''Badges'' aren't possible to loop at all, some has a loop-limit of 9, and others 99.

https://project-gc.com/dimages/pgc-badge.php?quality=D&loop=99&.png

== Addons ==
When achieving the status of a ''Gem badge'' you have unlocked the possibility of ''Addons''. Several ''Badges'' can have mini-badges added to them, these are called ''Addons''. For example, ''The Traditional Cacher'' will get a nice 366-addon added to it if you have logged a Geocache of the type Traditional on every date of the calendar.

The following placeholder ''Badges'' shows the available ''Addons''. Since some of them share locations, we can not show them all on single ''Badge''. No ''Badge'' can have all these ''Addons'' and the combinations shown below aren't possible.
