Description

Map Regions is a tool where users with a paid membership can get an overview of what regions 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 features, 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
This tool splits its filters into more than one block — see Multiple filter sections for the concept.
Filter (Pre)
The following filters are applied to your finds, in order to build your map regions.
- Profile name
- Country
- Cache type / size
- Difficulty / Terrain
- Attribute (a paid membership required)
- Elevation (a paid membership required)
- Hidden date
- Published date (a paid membership required)
- Log date (a paid membership required)
- Hidden calendar day (a paid membership required)
- Published calendar day (a paid membership required)
- Log calendar day (a paid membership required)
- Travelling geocaches (a paid membership required)
- Bookmark list (a paid membership required)
- Ignore bookmark list (a paid membership required)
- Virtual GPS (a paid membership required)
- Route (a paid membership required)
- Custom filter (a paid membership required)
- Loop number (a paid membership required)
Filter (Post)
The following filters are applied to geocaches suggested by this tool.
- Region
- Center/radius
- Cache type / size (a paid membership required)
- Difficulty / Terrain (a paid membership required)
- Found / Hidden (a paid membership required)
- Premium-only geocaches
- Disabled / archived / past events (a paid membership required)
- Route (a paid membership required)
- Custom filter (a paid membership required)
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 region polygons are displayed in one of three colors: red polygons indicate regions where the user has not found a cache; green polygons indicate where the user has found either 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 has found enough caches but only if caches with coordinate issues (such as Antipode caches) are included. In Color blind mode blue is used instead of red; the red-green mixed color remains the same.
