All Activity

1.25 'miles' is a walk in the park. Gees, I walk further than that to the supermarket. LPC? A power trail? Not my thing. A good walk to sightsee and cache is far more fun. Or a cycle. Exception, power trails along cycle paths are fun, hopefully with a good café along the way with nice tables.

Make the app hotlink URLs in location text or allow more granular text select and copy. I struggle with labs that need a URL as part of the experience. I have one that uses a URL to provide extra hinting so the user does not get stuck and can always complete a location.

Good point.

I agree with most of your other points, but I've done quite a few multis and field-puzzle mysteries where the answer you obtain is a keyword which has to be entered into Certitude to get the coordinates of the final. Given that most of the caching I do these days is at least 50km from home, I can't just "run home" to use my PC, actually I usually take my laptop on caches like that as I find it easier to use Certitude on that than fiddling around on my phone's tiny screen.

In my opinion, no. Here's my list of reasons in no specific order. 1) I'd say the grand majority of cachers already have phones with them while caching (whether they use it as gps or not)... its kind of like saying you need a pen. 2) Almost all capabilities that can be done on a phone could also be theoretically be done on a computer, tablet, etc.... or you could just run home to your house to do them 3) No, it's not a TOTT. It's not a tool of the geocaching trade. It's a device that practically everybody uses. 4) No, it's not a special tool. It's a device that practically everybody uses. 5) You don't need to use certitude or a checker. 6) There are more important attributes that we need. 7) You can just write a note in the description. Don't really see why we would need an attribute -- I don't think many would be filtering for 'phone required' or anything similar that attributes are used for. The idea that I would support is a cache that needs no electronics at all -- no GPS, no internet, just clues. But that's against the guidelines. Oh well.

does anyone know if one can translate using the adventure lab app been updated? Heading to Sweden and so far all of the lab caches I have looked at is in Dutch. Need to be able to translate them with out having to retype everything.

It's still not working for me but now it's showing me nothing instead of everything

so the use of a phone with internet access , could be something as simple as using certitude to check the final co-ords of a multi and to gain a hint

This has now been fixed.

This has been fixed.

Which is why you tend to put more weight on the most recent logs. THe rest are interesting but not necessarily reflective of the currect state. Yet the Favourite Point Indicators in the app, introduced early last year, do the opposite and almost exclusively show caches more than five years old that have accumulated lots of historical FPs. This is compounded by the modern-day app-only players who have never visited the website and rarely ever award an FP.

I assume that you submitted the logs via the website. As far as I know, such logs do not have an exact time associated with them. From my observation, on a particular date the logs usually appear in the order in which I submitted them.

My opinion is that the special tool needed in this case (and why) might be mentioned in the long description to help future finders.

Okay my question today is - Would you class a Smart Phone ( with access to the internet ) a T.O.T.T and use Special Tool Required, or Do you think there should be a (NEW) attribute to indicate you'll need a Mobile Phone with Internet access Me I think there is a need for a new attribute. as the game has moved on from using a PC to upload your caches via GPX files to a Garmin or other hand held GPS to now having the world at your finger tips in the way of a smart phone .

Hi, I have another fresh example of the incorrect calculation of the favorites percentage. Our cache so far only has since today two found logs. Both cacher are premium members and have set a favorite point when logging with the new log form. The cache also has this favorite points. However, <1% favorites are shown as favorites percentage. Can you perhaps address the problem again with the development team? Do you need more examples or is there anything else I can contribute to the solution?

Checked and it's working. Thanks gang !

On a cache page, Find All Nearby Caches seems to be fixed. But, entering coordinates into the home screen search bar doesn't seem to be working correctly. If I enter N 47 35.948 W 122 20.163 (Seattle waterfront) and hit Enter, it displays the closest caches to my home coordinates in Oregon. If I click the magnifying glass of the search bar instead, it brings up a cache in Port Orchard, quite far away, as the closest. It doesn't seem fixed!

I assume you had the date set to pinned? I can repro that the button is no longer working, I am unable to pin a date. I will let the team know.

This has now been fixed.

Specifically... ...and then beside "Found it" logs...

Two things: ground zero and GZ are interchangeable. Second, 1.25 miles is a longer distance to hike just to arrive at your first challenge cache. Compare that to a LPC where you jump in and out and are done.

Which is why you tend to put more weight on the most recent logs. THe rest are interesting but not necessarily reflective of the currect state.

I copied this from an old thread, as it is related but not the same topic, which is a bug: Current bug: I pin a date and CANNOT unpin it. Hovering tells me that I can, but I definitely cannot. I have included a screenshot with text that claims I can remove the pin, but whereas clicking the pin used to remove it and change to a white (vs black) pin, it now stays black and pinned. Anyone else?!?!

Some of the issues appear to have been fixed but not all. I'm here to check on a new one I have!

Having the same problem.. and has been referred to this thread by Geocaching HQ It seems that this company runs mostly on a voluntary basis. since you are just referring to this forum instead of solving the problem Wherigo.com itself has always been unstable
