{{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 ==
''Details to follow''

== Share corrected coordinates ==
''Details to follow''

== Importing ==
Users can import geocaches from [[Bookmark list]]s existing at Geocaching.com. Note, that the bookmark list needs to be [https://project-gc.com/qa/?qa=27263/importing-bookmark-virtual-importing-bookmark-suggestions public and sharable].

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

MD Caching Points

995643: Add link to archive.org providing last capture of the original page

== What is it? ==
[https://project-gc.com/Statistics/TopMDCachingPoints Top MD Caching Points] is a weighted top list of who has cached the most. The idea is that a more complex cache gives more points compared to a easier cache, this idea comes from MacDefender
<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20180410013054/http://www.macdefender.org/products/GCStatistic/mdCachingPoints.html MacDefender - GCStatistic mdCachingPoints] from archive.org</ref>. The points are calculated as Type factor * Difficulty * Terrain. For example a Wherigo™ Cache with a D/T of 3/5 gives 30 points (Type factor 2 * D3 * T5 = 2*3*5 = 30) and a Traditional Cache with a D/T of 2/3 gives 6 points (Type factor 1 * D2 * T3 = 1*2*3 = 6). The type factors can be seen in the table below.

Czechia:
What am I not seeing, why is -442397 needed? Doesn't -51684 have the whole Czechia included?

* Jakuje: you are right. I -51684 is enough. The second one is not needed. I had selected also a different region. Thank you for checking. Will fix.
