The filter "Geocache name contains" finds only search results where the search string is either at the start of the cachename or at least is not within some other string. Example: Within region Bayern search for all mysteries with WWW: URL: https://www.geocaching.com/play/results/?ct=8&st=Bayern%2C+Germany&oid=136&ot=region&r=48.2802&cn=WWW&asc=false&sort=placeDate This will result in the following 3 results: What I would expect is to also see all caches of the series including this cache https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GCA0B6X ' But these seems to be excluded from the search result due to the preceeding "_". Another example which shows that in some cases a preceeding "-" seems to be acceptable: Again within Bayern search for "kalender". You will get some caches with "Kalender", even one where there is a "-" before this textstring (100er-Kalendermatrix-Challenge). But none of the many "Adventskalender" caches available in the region. In my eyes this is a clear bug in the filter functionality. Either you rename field "geocache name contains" to something which reflects the real functionality or you give correct search results.

Seems to have solved itself

One example among others - this is what I just saw when loading the browse map. { "componentStack": "\n at https://www.geocaching.com/play/map/public/SearchMapDecorators.676307ca2d57cd1cd2c7.js:1:119029\n at div\n at t (https://www.geocaching.com/play/map/public/vendors~SearchMapDecorators.660c3f6ee02b5e602568.js:2:266855)\n at div\n at U (https://www.geocaching.com/play/map/public/SearchMapDecorators.676307ca2d57cd1cd2c7.js:1:109130)\n at n (https://www.geocaching.com/play/map/public/web-map.3.1.0.513596f9e8c30cadfed7.js:2:610243)\n at div\n at div\n at div\n at Y (https://www.geocaching.com/play/map/public/SearchMapDecorators.676307ca2d57cd1cd2c7.js:1:20839)\n at E (https://www.geocaching.com/play/map/public/web-map.3.1.0.513596f9e8c30cadfed7.js:2:272760)\n at s (https://www.geocaching.com/play/map/public/SearchMapDecorators.676307ca2d57cd1cd2c7.js:1:11507)\n at x\n at u (https://www.geocaching.com/play/map/public/web-map.3.1.0.513596f9e8c30cadfed7.js:2:594507)\n at L\n at t.SidebarProvider (https://www.geocaching.com/play/map/public/SearchMapDecorators.676307ca2d57cd1cd2c7.js:1:136399)\n at O\n at t.ActiveCacheProvider (https://www.geocaching.com/play/map/public/SearchMapDecorators.676307ca2d57cd1cd2c7.js:1:5252)\n at M\n at t.MobileListProvider (https://www.geocaching.com/play/map/public/SearchMapDecorators.676307ca2d57cd1cd2c7.js:1:140823)\n at E\n at t.ActiveListProvider (https://www.geocaching.com/play/map/public/SearchMapDecorators.676307ca2d57cd1cd2c7.js:1:7242)\n at T\n at t.ViewProvider (https://www.geocaching.com/play/map/public/SearchMapDecorators.676307ca2d57cd1cd2c7.js:1:142561)\n at _\n at t.ApiProvider (https://www.geocaching.com/play/map/public/SearchMapDecorators.676307ca2d57cd1cd2c7.js:1:143073)\n at P\n at s (https://www.geocaching.com/play/map/public/SearchMapDecorators.676307ca2d57cd1cd2c7.js:1:10372)\n at D\n at t.MapProvider (https://www.geocaching.com/play/map/public/SearchMapDecorators.676307ca2d57cd1cd2c7.js:1:8389)\n at A\n at t.BrowserProvider (https://www.geocaching.com/play/map/public/SearchMapDecorators.676307ca2d57cd1cd2c7.js:1:152589)\n at k\n at t (https://www.geocaching.com/play/map/public/web-map.3.1.0.513596f9e8c30cadfed7.js:2:199996)\n at Suspense\n at t.TranslationProvider (https://www.geocaching.com/play/map/public/web-map.3.1.0.513596f9e8c30cadfed7.js:2:1020274)\n at n (https://www.geocaching.com/play/map/public/web-map.3.1.0.513596f9e8c30cadfed7.js:2:610243)\n at t (https://www.geocaching.com/play/map/public/web-map.3.1.0.513596f9e8c30cadfed7.js:2:202136)\n at t (https://www.geocaching.com/play/map/public/web-map.3.1.0.513596f9e8c30cadfed7.js:2:196481)\n at l (https://www.geocaching.com/play/map/public/web-map.3.1.0.513596f9e8c30cadfed7.js:2:472447)\n at o (https://www.geocaching.com/play/map/public/web-map.3.1.0.513596f9e8c30cadfed7.js:2:473902)\n at E (https://www.geocaching.com/play/map/public/web-map.3.1.0.513596f9e8c30cadfed7.js:2:272760)\n at f (https://www.geocaching.com/play/map/public/web-map.3.1.0.513596f9e8c30cadfed7.js:2:270819)\n at E (https://www.geocaching.com/play/map/public/web-map.3.1.0.513596f9e8c30cadfed7.js:2:961778)\n at div\n at i (https://www.geocaching.com/play/map/public/web-map.3.1.0.513596f9e8c30cadfed7.js:2:1360535)\n at E (https://www.geocaching.com/play/map/public/web-map.3.1.0.513596f9e8c30cadfed7.js:2:907552)\n at h\n at t.LimitSearchProvider (https://www.geocaching.com/play/map/public/web-map.3.1.0.513596f9e8c30cadfed7.js:2:349003)\n at p\n at m (https://www.geocaching.com/play/map/public/web-map.3.1.0.513596f9e8c30cadfed7.js:2:437530)\n at m\n at t.FiltersProvider (https://www.geocaching.com/play/map/public/web-map.3.1.0.513596f9e8c30cadfed7.js:2:896705)\n at v\n at t.ExperienceProvider (https://www.geocaching.com/play/map/public/web-map.3.1.0.513596f9e8c30cadfed7.js:2:895099)\n at g\n at t.UserProvider (https://www.geocaching.com/play/map/public/web-map.3.1.0.513596f9e8c30cadfed7.js:2:1034370)" } Pressing F5 I now see a corrupt map. Other times I just get a timeout message.

Ok, thanks for the hints. This helps.

Hi, I am from Germany and will travel to Sweden and Norway soon. Here in Germany these days we have many caches for which you need a long rod to pick them from the trees. I heard from somebody that this kind of geocaching was orginally started in Sweden and is called "Biltema caching" there. But searching for "Biltema" in the geocaching country search for Sweden does not yield any results. Are these caches common in Sweden or not? Can somebody local tell how me whether there is a common wording in the titles of such caches in sweden? Or do I just have to filter for "special tool required" and then check the results? Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot for finally solving the issue with "Adding to list".

Wow, thanks a lot... I never clicked on all this icons

Unfortunately this does not do, what I want. If my search results in more than 500 hits, only the first 500 will be mapped. I see no chance to somehow map the rest. Is it really too much of a request to just be able to add all of them to the list and not only the first 200?

Yes this is what I meant: Moving ALL search results to a list and not only the first 200. Which is really tedious to do.

I really like the optimized layout. This works much better than a few days ago. What should the new column "Info" show? So far I have never seen search results, where this column showed anything. I hoped that this might be the column for the requested information about personal cache notes. But this seems not to be the case. And unrelated to this layout topic: I am still waiting for the "Add all search results to a list" Button

On Feb 16th you listed these topics as being "in work". I can't speak for all of them, but for topic 3 there has been no change in the last 3 weeks. I am still not able to create lists with more than 200 search results with one click. I would appreciate some update of the status.

The new layout only shows a maximum of 200 search results at one time. I use the search feature mainly to create lists of caches. This restriction makes working with list very tedious. Before the update I did a search, getting maybe 840 results and could export them to a list with two clicks. Now I have to export the first 200, then the next and so on. Very user-un-friendly!

Thanks. Somebody else has already raised a defect with Locus.

I start some adventure lab. I click on the little blue arrow below the map view to use Locus App for navigation. Until the latest update this worked just fine. But now Locus will show the position of all Lab points somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, probably at N 00 00.000 E 00 00.000. I think that the probable cause is some different format in the API of the app, which can not interpreted correctly by Locus. But I am not sure whether this needs to be solved by Groundspeak or by Locus :(. Anybody else playing like this and having the same problem?

As of sometime in the last two or three days something was again changed with the filtering which is clearly inconsistent and wrong: If I use the search filter on the start page (https://www.geocaching.com/play/search ) I will get a filter overlay which shows a filter for "Find Date". Entering anything in this filter does not change anything about the search result and seems to be totally useless. If I use the search filter from the map view, instead the old filter with "Placed Date" shows up. Fortunately this works as expected and gives the results you need for example for finding out about new caches.

Danke an Eigengott für die ausführliche Erläuterung.

Diese Regelungen habe ich natürlich gelesen. Aber das was da drin steht, hilft leider so gut wie gar nichts. Es ging und geht mir um die Frage: Der Lockdown wird hoffentlich irgendwann Schritt für Schritt aufgehoben werden können. Und mit welchem dieser Teilschritte steht der Publishstop für Geocaches in Verbindung?

Frage an die mitlesenden Reviewer: Seit Beginn des Lockdowns im November werden bei uns in Bayern (und mittlerweile auch in mehreren anderen Bundesländern) keine neuen Geocaches veröffentlicht. Bitte nicht missverstehen. Ich möchte mit dieser Anfrage keine Grundsatzdiskussion über den Publishstop auslösen. Es geht mir auch nicht um Events, das ist ein ganz anderes Thema. Meine Frage zielt nur auf die "normalen Dosen" ab. Was mir ungemein helfen würde, geduldiger zu warten und es besser akzeptieren zu können, wäre Transparenz bezüglich der Exitkriterien. So wie es sich derzeit mit dem Lockdown verhält, wird dieser definitiv nicht mit einem "Big-Bang" aufgehoben werden, sondern Teilschrittchen für Teilschrittchen, jetzt mal angefangen mit den Friseuren. Da wir uns im Wald eher nicht die Haare schneiden, wird das wohl keine Auswirkungen auf den Publishstop haben Aber welcher der Teilöffnungsschritte wird wohl zu einer Lockerung für unseren Sport führen? Dann wenn der Individualsport wieder erlaubt ist (Outdoor? Indoor?), dann wenn sich mehr als 2 Leute irgendwo treffen dürfen? Oder gar erst wenn wirklich alles wieder geöffnet wird und der Virus Geschichte ist? Gibt es ein Exitszenario?

Falls du aus Bayern kommst, liegt es vermutlich am derzeitigen Publish-Stop wegen Corona.

I use Locus Pro with offline OSM maps as app for geocaching. While playing the adventure lab I click on the arrow button in the details of a stage and this brings up the map within Locus Pro and shows a waypoint for this stage. Very easy and comfortable.

Thanks, this is something I would never have guessed...

With the newest version of the app there are now two different icons for unfinished labs on the map view. One with an empty circle and the other one with a kind of star inside. Does anybody know what the difference is?

Der Tip war gut. Greasemonkey (Firefox) deaktiviert und schon kann ich wieder den integrierten Geocecker benutzen und Koordinaten aktualisieren...
