    They used to provide the full list in the .csv file but that was discontinued early on, apparently due to privacy concerns.

    Ok, nevertheless strange. If I look at a "normal" cache, I can see who logged it. So what is the difference?

    Hi,

    I don't know, if this is the right forum but I miss something in the statistics, when looking at my own lab adventures.

    The statistics only shows the first 10 logs but it would be nice to see the complete found. If is is too much on the website, maybe it is possible to include all finds in the csv file.

    Fake Logs

    Please, do more Adventure Labs and stop staring statistics. You are making adventures for players that play them as you have planned. Do not care what others are doing. It is the same as making mystery caches. You basically make them for those who want to solve the mystery and not for those who only want the point by signing the log.

     

    Good point and I think, that's the best way to handle this. Go out, have fun and do not care about those stupid people.

    Fake Logs

    There are many answers, which cannot be googled, but which can be guessed. You have infinite tries, so e.g. if you ask for a number with a presumably limited range, it's not too much effort to eventually hit it just by try&error.

    Also, it's possible that one of the earlier finders shared the answers on some spoiler group of FB or similar.

     

    For the existing fake logs, nothing.

    To reduce the number of future fake logs, you can make sure that your answers are not only un-googleable (no idea if this is a word ;) ) but also effectively unguessable. And if you think that's already the case and therefore suspect "leaked answers", change some questions and answers. But in the long run, you can just as well give up. After the 10th completion, you no longer see who played your AL anyway - unless they leave a comment, which cheaters of course don't do.

    There is no earlier finder and all answers are non numbers. So this normally cannot be the case.

    In fact, fake loggers exist. I know, it is only a game and these cachers makethemself ridiculous. It is just to know for myself, how it can be that they have the answers.

    Hi HQ,

    I have a question about how to react after a probably fake log on one of our Adventure Labs.

    Two cachers logged the adventure, but one of them was on another continent at the same day and the other one did not leave Europe so far. So they both probably used a fake GPS to log these ALs.

    And, what is more irritating, with haven't been on place, there is no chance to google the answers. So how is it possible to make a log?

    So, what can I do now?

     

    Cheers

    Filtering out specific members placed caches

    How do you use Project GC to filter out certain cache owners? And then get that list onto your app?

    I don't think, that's possible.

    On the geocaching website use the filters button. There you can enter the nickname of a cacher in "Hidden by". Leave alle other field unattached and view the result.

    Now you can add all found caches, but maximum 1000, to a list.

    Repeat the search for other cachers and add these ones to the same list.

    Then you can make a pocket query out of your list and copy it to your device.

    So not every country has a souvenir?  It's an on-going progress then.

    I hope one day England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland get separate ones then :)

    You can find all souvenirs on this page:

    Hi NYPaddleCacher,

    thanks for your remarks. If I have some time, I will improve the site.

    The idea, uploading a zip is very nice as it shortens the upload time. This should be easy to be done.

    The markers are numbered to 99. I've taken this from another part when I put a list of caches on the map I try to find on a trip. Therefore, 99 was enough but for the big list, of course this makes no sense. Adding some information is also easy to do, I perhaps will do this today.

    To limit the caches in the table for the part of map I need to reconstruct the function. I've done this already for another website, but not for this part. I will think about it.

    The column width is flexible so far, but I think it makes sense, to make some columns fix. Thanks, I will fix this.

    I've done a translation for my complete website a couple of years ago but having a look at the logs shows me, that the really most visitors come from Germany. So it stopped this extra work. But, of yourse, geocaching is more international so I could do some effort into translation.

    So, thanks a lot for your review.

    Thomas

    Servus,

    [ironie]ich wusste gar nicht dass man sich auch online in ein Logbuch eintragen kann :lol: ;)... Das erspart ja einiges an Lauferei...[/ironie]

    Gruß,
    Daniel

     

    Online ist es halt auch ein Logbuch, sozusagen ein digitales Logbuch und das gehört nun mal dazu.

    Hier nochmal zum Nachlesen:

    1.4. Log a geocache

    Das erspart dir nicht den Weg zum Cache, ist aber zum Punkte hochzählen unabdingbar.

    Und da Basic Member nicht auf das Listing eine PMO Caches kommen, benötigt man eine passende URL zum Loggen.

    Easy way to find archived 'caches in my area?

    We started geocaching in '09 and have deployed several in the past few years. More experienced 'cachers have sometimes noted that our hides are in close proximity to geocaches which came and went before we began the game. In one instance, I've found an archived listing for a 'cache that was very near one of ours. I'm just curious: is there an easy way to find older, now archived geocaches in our area? This is just me being nosy/curious...no drama intended (nor solicited). I have no intention of logging anything to the archived pages.

    You can use the advenced search on project-gc.com:

    For deleting, press on the app for a longer time. When the icons are shaking, there will appear a small cross on the upper left corner. Type on this and the app is deleted from your phone.

    For installing the new one, just search in the app store for geocaching. You will find an app called "Geocaching®" from Groundspeak Inc.

    Steht doch eigentlich alles im Listing.

    Der Hinweis auf UTM Koordinaten ist schon sehr hilfreich, da man die Koordinaten dort auf einer Ebene hat. Sonst hat man die ja auf der Kugeloberfläche.

    Der Rest ist ein wenig Mathe 9. Klasse.

    Und Tangram Figuren findet auch genug im Netz so dass man hier das G auch sicher findet.

     

    Sehr schöne Idee dieser Mystery, leider auch völlig aus meiner Homezone raus.

    GGZ Format

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted

    There is a command line tool existing:

    GGZGEN

    Easy to use. Copy all gpx files in one directory where you copied the ggzgen.exe.

    Then use

    ggzgen.exe *.gpx yourggz.ggz

    This will copy all gpx files in the ggz file.

    On your Garmin you have to create a GGZ folder on Garmin where you can copy the ggz files.
