  1. Have you tried clicking on the little calender symbol with 31 in it?

    Then a pull-down menu will appear where you choose the date by clicking on it.

  2. Depending on the Android version choosing an specific app to open links might be impossible.

     

    There are apps, like "better open with" that emulated to be a webbrowser if I remember correct and can be used to choose any app to open a link. 

    I do remember that this has been discussed and explained in the past in the forums. 

  3. Yes, you can choose a radius from a specific coordinate. Or choose a country and region, but no country.

     

    More settings are:

    Cache types

    Cache size

    Found status 

    Difficulty

    Terrain

    Attributes positive and negative 

    Placed date

  4. In the normal search results you can sort by placed date. 

     

    In the list view you can also sort by placed date. It's the field furthers to the right. 

     

    In the list view of a Pocket Queries you can also sort by placed date 

  5. To answer your question. 

     

    Pictures of the container is seen as a spoiler as it might indicate where it's hidden or show a unique hole made construction that ought 5o be discovered on sight.

     

    If the logbook is wet, trashed och filled with signature logging a "Owner maintenance required" is the correct way to alert the owner, and coming visitors that something is wrong.

  6. The only solid guideline, or rule in this case, is that the logbook must be signed with you geo-nickname before a physical cache is logged as found.

    This has been the case since 23 years and will hopefully remain as long as geocaching.com is active. 

     

    If there is no signature in the logbook the owner has the right to delete your log. All this is written in the guidelines and help center. 2 documents/places that it should be mandatory to read before starting an account.

     

    It you want this to change contacting Groundspeak is you option. Or heading to any of the other GPS based games that have no requirement to sign a physical log book.

  7. Some log type are by design given a date that never can be changed:

    Needs maintenance/owner attention required

    Needs archive/reviewer attention required.

    Disable

    Enable

    Archive

    This is deliberate since it would/could be chaotic among the logs if owners could backdate owner maintenance for example.

     

    Despite this is might be possible to use one of the API partner apps to change the log date. It appears that the log date of Mega events has been possible to change despite the locked log date on events. 

  8. The short answer is that the coding for adventure Lab Caches have no country, region, size, d/t, attributes, publish dates and more that geocaches has. 

     

    More answers from Moun10Bike can be read in this tread:

     

    If the found ALC mess up your statistics you can delete them or start a account where you only find Adventure Lab Caches on.

  9. 50 caches will most likely attract a lot of cachers when all of them is published. So placing them in the same area is easiest for the visitors and for you to make the necessary maintenance. 

    So my recommendation is to choose a forest to place all stages and containers in. With a good access point to park cars or get to using public transport.

  10. I can recommend the app GPS Point, only available on Android.

    It use averaging, Meaning hundreds of coordinates are taken during a few minutes and the average of them is saved.

    And the coordinates are shown as used in geocaching so you can used them directly.

  11. One way that should suffice the GPS need is to ha checker where something from the location of the photographer is entered. 

    Like a number from an electrical cabinet och a word from a sign. The checker then gives the coordinates for the final. That can be hundreds of meters away or only 5 meters.

  12. If you plan to find the oldest cache in all European geocaching countries there are 55 of them. That includes smaller self governing areas like Aland island, Guernsey, Jersey, Sark and Faroe Islands and countries like Ukraine, Russia and Belarus that you probably would like to skip visiting for a while.

    27 of the countries belong to EU, some to Schengen, of the rest some are visa-free and some demands a visa.

     

    With that in mind it will be necessary to use a mix of different kind of transportation getting around. 

    There is a wide network of trains and buses. But that will get you to cities while the oldest cache might be in a remote area.

    Low budget airlines is also a cheap way to travel around Europe.

    Rental cars will probably have limitations on driving them outside of the country where they are rented.

  13. Will there be something similar to the "needs maintenance"-attribute that warns other that there is a problem with the stages?

     

    Will these reports be gathered by HQ and action taken when a certain number of reports on the same lab has been given?

     

    The change is excellent but as with the "needs maintenance" on geocaches it will only work when the owner cares about the owned caches.

  14. ALC Adventure Lab Cache, formerly known as lab, can only be found by the associated app called Adventure Lab®. You use the same login details as on geocaching.com.

     

    https://www.geocaching.com/sites/adventure-lab/

     

    One found alc counts as one found cache. The found date is the date when the answer is given in the app.

    ALC however give no founds for country, size, d/t, attributes and some more.
