Filters

General Information

Many and top lists on Project-GC can have different filters applied to get different information. On some of them only a subsection of the filters can be used and some tools or top lists have filters that are only available for that specific tool or list.

Profile name

This filter highlights the user in a top list, clicking the button with a blue silhouette and a pencil will fill the box with the user name of the authenticated user. For the tools that can be used to compare something between two or more users, this filter has an extra box labelled Compare with for inputting other users who are to be compared. Users with a paid membership can use the button with a table on it to turn on multi compare.

Location-based Filters

Cache location

This filter allows a user to only show caches from certain areas, usually with country, region and county options. It is available in most top lists and tools.

Center/Radius (km)

This filter is an alternative to cache location which allows an input for an address or coordinates, and the radius from that place. All the caches in the result will be from this area. It is available in many top lists.

Only people from

This filter appears in top lists, and allows the user to only search for users that have had their home location calculated to be in a certain country or region.

Cache-stat Filters

Cache name

This filter allows users with a paid membership to find caches that begin with, contain, or end with any inputted string, for example if you wanted all the caches that begin with 'Church Micro'. It is case-sensitive, and is available in most top lists.

Cache type / size

This filter allows the user to filter the cache results to show only those that are of a singular or list of types and/or sizes.

Difficulty / Terrain

This filter allows the user to filter the cache results to show only those that have specific or a range of difficulty and/or terrain ratings.

D/T type / size

This is a special filter for the D/T Matrix tool, that allows the user to filter caches filling their grid with specific types or sizes. It differs from the normal Difficulty / Terrain and Cache type / size filter since it searches for the missing D/T combinations with the filter, whereas the normal ones just filter the output.

Attribute required

This filter appears only on the Needed found dates tool, and allows the user to filter their found calendar to only include caches that have a selected positive attribute.

Negative attribute required

This filter appears on the Needed found dates tool, and allows the user to filter their found calendar to only include caches that have a selected negative attribute.

Log-based & Ownership Filters

From

This is only available on the Map not found caches tool, and allows the user to filter caches which have not been found from the inputted date. For example, entering 2018-01-01 would return all caches without a find from Jan 1 2018 to the search date, regardless of any finds before that date.

From/To Hidden date

This filter allows a user to include caches only with a hidden date within a certain time frame. One or both of the fields 'from' and 'to' dates can be used.

From/To Log date

This filter allows a user to only include caches that they have posted a found log on within a certain time frame. One or both of the fields 'from' and 'to' dates can be used.

Hide Disabled / Archived / Premium

This filter allows a user to hide caches that are Disabled, Archived or Premium from the result. It is available in the top lists under Cache stats. Checking the box for "found" will hide all the found caches for the user chosen in Profile name from the top list and so on.

Hide Found / Owned / Not found

This filter allows a user to hide caches they have found, caches that they own or caches they have not found. It is available in the top lists under Cache stats. Checking the box for "found" will hide all the found caches for the user chosen in Profile name from the top list.

None/One/Both/Owned found

This is a filter for the Map Compare tool that allows the user to show the caches that none, one of or both of the compared profiles have found. It also allows you to mark the user's owned caches as found.

Show Disabled / Archived

This filter allows a user to show caches that are Disabled or Archived in the result. It is available for map based tools.

Include Archived

This filter allows a user to include archived caches in the Geocaches per area-list.

List Filters

Bookmark list

This filter allows some tools and top lists to only include caches in the result, that are in a specific bookmark list. To find a bookmark list, select the owner of the bookmark list, then select the desired list from the result.

Ignore Bookmark list

This filter allows some tools and top lists to exclude certain caches from the result, that are in a specific bookmark list. To find a bookmark list, select the owner of the bookmark list, then select the desired list from the result.

Virtual GPS

This filter allows some tools and top list to only include caches in the result, that appear in a selected Virtual GPS list.

Other

Custom filter

See Custom filters.

Exclude

This filter, on the Map of challenge caches, allows the user to exclude any or none of the disabled, archived, premium, fulfilled or not fulfilled caches from the result. Whether you fulfill a challenge is decided either if a user runs a checker, or by the Auto-challenge-checkers that run for paid members.

Exclude traveling

This is a filter on the Map NESW tool, which allows the user to remove the bookmark list [BMAFMJR|https://www.geocaching.com/plan/lists/BMAFMJR], which is a list of various traveling, antipode and locationless caches that would cause the results to become inaccurate.

Loop

See Loop.

Max number of geocaches

This filter allows some top lists based on hides to limit the number of caches used per owner. For instance, in the Logs Received top list, if you set max number of geocaches to 2, only the top 2 most logged caches from each owner will count to the total.

Route

This filter allows some tools to only output caches within a certain distance from a specified linear route, as specified in the Route Builder tool.

Show

This is a filter available on the map of challenge caches tool, and it allows the user to view only the challenge caches that have, or do not have, a Project-GC Challenge checker available. If the 'show all' option is ticked, then the filter can be toggled on and off while viewing the map.
