Yes, it's the best offline database for geocaching.

Its time for a cache rating system
A J Pombo replied to edexter's topic in General geocaching topics
Yes, I agree with you, but we don't live in a perfect world... geocaching is not a perfect game, it's just an excuse to go out for a walk... -
Yes, it's fixed. Thanks
-
Yes, we can use this for "disabled" and " need maintenance" caches but not for the caches in the list of "low health score".

Please see: https://www.geocaching.com/p/?guid=34e72530-db09-4460-8d37-cacc04fdb981 and read this: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lgpAYE-XNu9X7_0A2E5p9T3BqJ2heFjavPndfHAV0hA/edit

I have 6 caches with "low health score". Please, can someone, inside GS-HQ, send me the list of these 6 caches? Thanks
-
I have 3 caches with "low health score" ... can someone help us or should I wait for the reviewer's note when he "temporary disables" that caches?

This is your access to project-gc web page ... not the access from project-gc to geocaching.com api to download your log information
-
This privacy issue can be solved using this option: https://www.geocaching.com/account/settings/authorizations - check box "Do not share my personal information with Authorized Developer applications." Pros: project-gc and other outside statistic sites can't download, from geocacching.com api, information about your logs Cons: you can't use the Poquet Query function; you can't update your offline GSAK database

When i click on "Low Health Score" my browser redirects to https://www.geocaching.com/play/owner/published and not to https://www.geocaching.com/play/owner/published?filter=publishedLowHealthCaches Same behavior with "Temporary disabled" and "Needs Owner Maintenance". Try with Chrome, Firefox and Brave.

The Maintenance Needed Attribute: Why do we have it?
A J Pombo replied to edexter's topic in General geocaching topics
I think most owners don't check if the maintenance request is true or not, nor do they register the maintenance visit to remove this attribute from their cache. -
I think something important is missing here: Adventure Lab Caches They don't need maintenance, they don't go through the revision process, and they don't have saturation issues either. In very busy places and with many possible visits, they are the ideal solution to show a place worthy of a cache. So, why should I put a physical cache when I can put an Adventure Lab cache?
-
Same problem all arround the world. Geocaching is not only numbers. Please remove the "found counter" from public profile ...
-
Yes, i agree. Something like this: - Share/not share my logs with Auth. Dev. App's - Share/not share my souvenirs with Auth. Dev. App's - Share/not share my #founds (including LAB Caches) with Auth. Dev. App's

Struggling with my virtual 3.0 award
A J Pombo replied to Korichnovui's topic in General geocaching topics
Hello I'm very happy with my "no virtual cahche" ... yes, in Portugal i am the third owner and have no virtual award ... never ... why? I don't know ... maybe for having too many caches ... or because my name is not a "lucky name" or bacause my name is in a "black list of owners" ... I have no problems because i don't have a Virtual Reward ... (and yes, this post is "off topic" but is what i feel about Virtual Rewards ... be happy and don't forget "geocaching is about friends and having funny, not just numbers or yellow smiles". -
Are fake logs allowed on Adventure Lab?
A J Pombo replied to AntMadeira's topic in Playing Adventures
Why do you think the log is "fake"? -
Viva. GPS para caches urbanas: smartphone - permite aceder a mapas detalhados que apresentam as ruas, mobiliário urbano, nºs de polícia, etc. Esta informação adicional no mapa ajuda muito nas caches urbanas, porque mais importante que uma coordenada é uma localização no espaço urbano, e isso o GPS tradicional não consegue fazer, porque os mapas (pelo menos os que eu conheço) são muito limitados na informação que apresentam. Para caches no "meio do mato", uso um GPS Garmin, porque nestes casos o smartphone acaba por ter um erro enorme de coordenadas. Recordo que parte da precisão do GPS do smartphone provém da rede móvel/dados, coisa que no "meio do mato" geralmente não existe. Espero ter ajudado.
