Do any of the API partners offer carplay integration?

As Geocaching.com gives it's own country, it seems appropriate that all "countries" get a souvenir. GC60N6F Hotspot (Traditional Cache) in Svalbard and Jan Mayen Islands created by Kaldbekken (geocaching.com) is an example of a Svalbard cache. The question posed is not really why are some areas considered countries and others are not. The question is why do some geocaching.com recognized countries not have souvenirs.

Seem good. Thanks

This appeared to be fixed this morning. We will see what tomorrow brings.

Hello, I notice that events do not seem to be automatically archived anymore after 30 day. Challenge Wheel Meet and Greet Event Cache GCACD97 is an example that occured on 8/27 and is still not archived. Thanks.

So a quick trip report. I ended up getting a polestar and not a tesla. The polestar seemed to overestimate my consumption of the battery. This led to plenty of miles available for grabbing side caches. Downsides was my android phone was unable to push the caches to the cars navigation system. It could not push any destination to the car at all. For a local caching vehicle this would be acceptable to me. For this roadtrip caching experience, topping off the battery instead of just enough took more time but put enough juice in the tank make caching a relatively painless addition. Range limits and charging times were an issue.

Howdy Hoping to rent a Tesla to see how ot works for a road trip, how do you push geocaches as destinations to the nav system? Apparently EVs work best the more information you cam give about the route. It allows them to plan charging stops better. Thanks.

I see your pooint on challenges. But reviewers can challenge attributes. Also I don't see it with other existing attributes. As for the start if the game, the original stash and mingo are both park and grabs.

Well there is a gas nearby attribute. With the proliferation of all electric vehicles it seems like it might be time for an ev charging attribute. This would allow folks to charge while finding caches.

This doesn't make some do all stages before getting the information.

It would be nice to two finger zoom in on text in any part of an adventure lab on android. Normally I use mu phone inside where I wear normal glasses. Outside I switch to sunglasses and need larger print to read. As advemture labs occur in both, it would be nice to dynamically adjust the zoom.

Currently adventure labs have a completion screen after each stage. It would be nice id there was also a screen after completion of the whole adventure. The reason for this request is twofold. The first is to allow the story to summarize the entire entire experience on completion. There is a whole advemture startup screen. The second is it makes bonus caches easier for both hiders and finders. The explicit coordinate can be dropped here instead of some convoluted formula or forcing a sequential adventure. Thoughts appreciated.

Can we fork the what a country should be thoughts to another thread and keep the country souvenirs in this topic? I am guilty of this as well but it would be nice to not muddle the issues.

So I am not quite so minimalist as you. My keychain and wallet also help. The keychain has tweezers, a SIM removal tool, and a magnet. The wallet has a credit card so things can be purchased locally if needed. It also has length of cord.

From the wikipedia description, the Puerto Rico/US relation seems the better comparision. However rather than debate a what should or should not be on the list, the list from RetiredGuy is about how Geocaching.com treats the countries they already identified.

The relationahip between the Azores and Portugal is like that in my mind.

It seems these are spread a bit unevenly "continentally" as well. Below is the table with what I think the continents are. (Let me know if there is a mistake.) It looks like they rank as follows for number of "missing" souvenirs. 10 Africa 5 Oceania 4 Europe 3 North America (Maybe 2 depending on how to count Navassa, a US Minor Island in the Caribbean that is contested between the US and Haiti) 2 Asia 1 South America Country Continent Ireland Europe Serbia Europe Afghanistan Asia Guadeloupe North America Martinique North America Svalbard and Jan Mayen Islands Europe French Guiana South America Sark Europe Mayotte Africa Equatorial Guinea Africa Congo Africa US Minor Outlying Islands Pacific/Caribbean (Some disputed US/Haiti) Comoros Africa Western Sahara Africa Central African Republic Africa Burundi Africa Guinea-Bissau Africa Yemen Asia Pitcairn Oceania Nauru Oceania Eritrea Africa Guinea Africa Tokelau Oceania Wallis and Futuna Islands Oceania

So after editing a draft in the official.app, the app asks me if I care to send the answer to the co. I compose the message and then send it. It appears to send but a quick green blob flashes at the bottom with text I cannot read. What does that text say? Thanks

Perhaps the counter point to that thinking is Taiwan which has a souvenir.

As someone who is fortunate enough to be on the 4x list, there are many things to do after the Jasmer. I completed the 50 US states. Shortly will be completing canadian provinces. All the US counties and delorme squares are on the list. Every country is still in the works. Oldest in every whatever, highest in every whatever, or whatever in whatever. The point of challenges for me is to give me an excuse to think differently about the world and in the process learn things. Already thinking about countries has helped me understand how airline routes are shaped be long standing international relations. Then there is understanding travel to the far northern parts of the world. Exploring US counties gives an idea of just how diverse the US is. Others seem to focus on ports or airports. For me this does not appeal. Just think about how you want to explore the game and the world. It should make clear what's next.

Maintaining jasmer level. Completing a fizzy grid for as many cache types as possible. Completing fizzy grid for as many attributes as possible. Completing as many US counties as possible. Completing as many states as possible regardless of country. Completing as many cache types for 365 placed and found dates seems to have slid to background. I still like chasing reviewers even though no new challenges can be issued for this.

You are right about Taiwan. I missed it. For available countries souvenirs, I looked at https://project-gc.com/Tools/SouvenirList and for countries, https://project-gc.com/Statistics/CachesPerArea?submit=Filter . They say there are 245 countries but only 220 souvenirs.

I am having trouble finding the souvenirs for Afghanistan, Taiwan, Sark, and Svalbard. There may be more.

New souvenirs for countries were coming out regularly at a few a month. I can;t find any for March 2023 or April 2023. Have all of the countries come out?

Does this still work for you? I have maps that appear in the my maps website and the maps portion of the app. They are not appearing in the car mounted display. I may be doing something wrong or something changed.
