Use Project-GC Map compare with yourself and an account with 0 finds IE Geocaching HQ Admin selecting Neither Found and filtering to the county.
Perfect! Just what I needed--thanks.

I realized that this is for caches that have not yet been found. What I want is a way to show all caches in a county that I have not found, regardless of date placed. Not those where I would be FTF. Sorry for the unclear way I asked about this.

Editing lists with Safari has been a problem since Dec 2022:
Until a week ago, the only problem I had with Safari was deleting found caches from one of my lists. The map and new list issues just started.
-
Anyone having issue with geocaching.com using Safari? When I try "View Browse Map", the map itself is blank. I tried to create a new list I get the message: " We had trouble loading your Lists. Please try again by refreshing the page." I don't have any problem using Chrome. Thanks.

On the project-gc.com website, select the "Tools" menu. In the drop down, under "Map-based," select "Map Not Found Caches." Complete the values for Country, Region/State, and County. Here's a direct link to that page.
That's great! Thanks so much!

This functionality is not available directly on Geocaching.com. The closest approximation would be to set up a pocket query centered within the county, having a radius that covers the county, and checking the box for caches that have not yet been found.
What you're asking for is available as a premium feature for paying members of project-gc.com.
I am a paying member of that, but can’t find a way to do that. Can you explain how to get that? Thanks.

Is there a way to get a list unfound caches by county instead of the whole state?

Well, I found out how to find a cache with a negative attribute. Of all the PQs I've run, I never really noticed or paid attention to the two attribute sections below the Placed During section. I'll I had to do was double click the tourist icon (a suitcase) and that brings up "Not tourist friendly" caches. The closest one was only 138 miles away.........but I got it and was able to log the local mystery cache.

Prtobably Ace Hardware if you have one nearby. They seem to have everything (except lumber).

Have a TB that I've never released, but just used it to track my finds. I'd like to finally let it go, but want to delete it's travel history. Is there a way to bulk delete all visits?

There are 10 (that I see) in Glacier Bay Natl Park. Also a couple of virtuals. All depends on where your ship goes. I was really surprised on the way out that the ship got close enough to get GC5DJC5, Marble Islands. Use that and run a filtered PQ.

Have a mystery cache that requires finding caches that have the 41 negative attributes (not all 41 in one cache). The only one I'm missing is "NOT Recommended for tourists". I tried searching using the filters, but this one is not in that list. Is there a macro or a way that will find that? Thanks.

Perhaps the 7/20" ( or 0.350" ?) is the inside diameter and the 5/8" is the inside D?
No, the 5/8" is the inside measurement.

I'm looking for bison tubes that are less than 1/2 inch wide. Bought some on Amazon that were listed at 7/20" wide, but are actually 5/8" wide. Anyone know a source where I can get what I need". Thanks.

Yesterday it was not working at all. Today, I did two routes, and while the cache list shows 5 caches, the map view shows about 30. A slow fix?

I had to do a hard refresh to get the county lines to show on the website (ctrl-F5 on Windows Firefox).
I’ll try that. Hope it works Safari and Chrome. Thanks.

Ok, that’s what I thought. Seems I just did not scroll down far enough. I thought they would be in the order originally posted. Thanks again!

Thanks! I’ve been looking for that with no luck. Where are the release notes? You would think having been a member since 2006 I would know that……

On the app, I see the county lines if zoomed in enough, but don’t see the county name. Is there a way to show the name? Also, on the website, I don’t see any county lines at all. Are they only visible using the app? This is a nice feature, but in the app, they should be as visible as the state lines, no matter how far out you zoom

Yes, it's the 1st of March 2023. From the blog announcing it:
It's a bit sad to see that, to date, only 2752 of the 4000 have been published. Maybe there'll be a mad rush of them in the remaining weeks, but on present figures it looks like about a third will end up unused.
Yes, that is sad to see. I was awarded one the last time and put a lot of thought into it before setting it up. Too bad the unused ones can’t be re-rewarded. Such a great opportunity to pass up. Thanks for the info.

What is the deadline for placing the awarded 2022 virtual caches? I thought I saw it was March 2023, but can’t find the info now. Thanks.

So long as you are loading the geocaches manually and never load more than 5000 at a time (sounds like it based on what you have stated above), the eTrex 32x MAY be a good choice for you. You will also be losing the touchscreen capabilities of your previous Oregon devices, so you will also have to get used to pushbuttons and a joystick. Battery life will be better and the device will fit into smaller pockets.
Thanks for the input. I'll have to take a look at one before I decide what to do.

I'll chime in....
Going from an Oregon 7x0 to an eTrex 'anything' is a huge step backwards in functionality and features.
How do you normally load geocaches to your Oregon 7x0? How Many at a time?
How frequently do you go geocaching? Do you always plan ahead, or are you more spontaneous?
Are there any features from the Oregon 7x0 you just couldn't live without?
Good questions. I’ve been doing 500–600 caches per year, and load 1000 at a time. I’ll do caches along a route when traveling. I way underutilize the features of the 700–I’m not very tech savvy. I really enjoyed using the 450. I started with a Legend CX which suited me just fine. When placing a cache, I use the 450, as I can’t figure out the 700. If I’d seen how to fix the on/off 450 button earlier, I would not have bought the 700. Appreciate your input.

Looking for input on this unit. I currently have an Oregon 450 and Oregon 700. I bought the 700 when the on/off button on the 450 failed (but later found an easy way to fix that). I use the 700 most of the time, but am getting increasingly frustrated with it. Today I was geocaching and the 700 turned itself off. When I restarted it, said I had to register it. So, thinking about getting the eTrex. Looking for pros and cons. Thanks.
