[Suggested list of enhancements]

All these suggestions sound great but I would like to just be able to not see servor busy errors about everytime I go to the cache pages, that would be a great start.

 

We hardly ever get "Server Busy" errors , maybe because, being in the UAE we are 12 hours ahead of LA, I use the service while most users are asleep.

[Suggested list of enhancements]

Here are my suggestions for enhancements to the geocache web site. A lot of these arise because there are relatively few caches in my country the UAE (currently only 52). These are widely dispersed and my cache hunting ground in very large, encompassing our neighbouring country, Oman and on occasions Qatar, Saudi, Bahrain and Kuwait.

1. That the “Search Travel Bugs” page shows the Country, as well as the location for the Travel Bug. It’s nice to know which part for the world my bugs are in – the cache name doesn’t really help. Of course I can open the cache Web page to find out but it would be nice to have on the summary page.
   
2. The “All Geocaches In Country” page should always have a check box to filter out caches already found. This check box appears randomly, sometimes it is there and other times not – it is very annoying to have to go to a “new Search” to filter out my finds.
   
3. I would like to see the “(filter out finds)” option for “List newest in <country>” on the “My Account Details” page. We only have 50 odd caches in the UAE so this is the search usually used here in place of “Search for nearest caches from your home coordinates”
   
4. On the “Add/Edit Insta-Notify Subscription” page I would like to see the option “Posted a Note” to the existing ones of
   • Found it
   • Retract Listing
   • Didn't find it
   • Temporarily Disable Listing
   • Archive Enable
   • Listing
   • Unarchive
   • Update Coordinates
   • Publish Listing
   • Needs Maintenance
   I am more interested in notes that are posted against a cache than the very rarely used options such as “Retract Listing”.
   
5. On the “Add/Edit Insta-Notify Subscription” page I would like to an option added to “Type to watch” to be “all types”. When I am watching an area I would like information about all of the caches in it. The only way I can do this is by creating a notification page for each individual type. This is most annoying especially as we only have a very small number of caches in the entire country.
   
6. I would like the limit of 80 km on the “Search for nearest caches from your home coordinates” removed. The search only gives me 26 caches. If the limit was taken off I could more easily see caches in neighbouring countries that I could also go for. The UAE is small and it is easy to visit Oman, Saudi, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait. These all fall within my caching area and it would be very useful to see all of these caches as the result of a single search instead of having to first select an individual country.
   
7. On the “All Geocaches” summary page I would like to see “number of finds” and “number of did not finds”. This would give me an idea of how popular a cache was and some sort of indication of how difficult it was to find.
   
8. On the “All Geocaches” summary page I would like to see “terrain” and “difficulty”.
   
9. On the travel bug page, I would like the photos in the records to “pop up” when I hover the cursor over the icon in the same way that they do on the cache page logs.
   
10. I would like to see photos also included in the “pocket queries” results. Often you need the photos in order to find the cache.
    
11. I would like to see photos also included in the Geocaching WAP site (which is otherwise excellent). Often you need the photos in order to find the cache.
    

[Newest Wap Interface]

Works really well on my i-mate JAMin in the United Arab Emirates. Issues I have are:

• Would be great to be able to see photos - often you need to see these in order to find the cache.
  
• Occasionally the logs are encrypted when they shouldn't be and vice versa.
