Hi,
I like the possibility to not share my personal information with Authorized Developer geocaching applications since it exists. But unfortunately there is only an on / off checkbox.
I'd like to be able to allow e.g. Locus Map and GSAK to access the API and to decline it for all others?
Please add this as feature per App. Thanks.
Is there any official way to ask for this feature or is here the right place for that?
Thanks Wolle
Yes, we need someting like this (chose what Authorized Developer can download my logs):

anyway, does anyone still use GSAK or has it been since replaced with something newer?
Yes, it's the best offline database for geocaching.

I feel that every cache must be documented as visited and in decent condition at least twice a year, either by a finder or the CO.
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...

Quick update - the fix was pushed to production.
Now you can use the filters to help you do maintenance on your caches again!
Yes, it's fixed. Thanks

A solution in the meantime to be able to visualize the caches that need maintenance or that are disabled is to go through the following link: https://www.geocaching.com/hide/cachemaintenance.aspx
Yes, we can use this for "disabled" and " need maintenance" caches but not for the caches in the list of "low health score".

Our engineers are looking into a solution for this issue. We hope for a fix soon.
Thanks for your attention to your cache hides. We appreciate your diligence!
I have 6 caches with "low health score". Please, can someone, inside GS-HQ, send me the list of these 6 caches?
Thanks

One of my caches has been pinged by health score. Is there a way to know which one?
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?

My solution: I'd revoked GC-Project's access here: https://www.geocaching.com/account/settings/authorizations
This is your access to project-gc web page ... not the access from project-gc to geocaching.com api to download your log information

There seems to be a pretty big privacy issue with this script. It shows by you completed lab stations, even if you had decided not been logging and rating the adventure in the app. Not nice from my point of view. This script should be removed asap from GC-Project by request from HQ.
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.

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 ...

Perhaps the opt-out page needs to be better worded...
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

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".

Hi there.
I received my first fake log (or review, as they're called now) in my Adventure Lab. Is this allowed? How can I remove it or report it?
Regards.
Why do you think the log is "fake"?

Boas, sei que já não é uma tema novo por aqui mas gostaria de saber qual é o melhor GPS para geocaching à venda em portugal por um preço acessível.
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.

... and about the API ... how can i hide my statistics on other sites, like project-gc or cacherstats? Can i "deny" someone to download, via API, my logs and process the data, showing that in a statistics site?
-
When i try to edit an old cache the site show me an error message: "The date must be within the last year""
I get this error in my caches (all old caches)
Anyone have the same problem?
-
Completion status "in progress" is very useful.

Improvement proposal: digital logging of geocaches instead of on paper

Maintain your geocache
Once your cache is published, make sure your geocache remains a positive experience for other geocachers. Monitor logs and visit the cache location periodically. Be aware that unmaintained caches may be disabled or archived.
