Indeed that's something I have also struggled with since I live in a very touristic country. I have been doing the AL with both my country's language and English, however, this limits the available characters. And for the questions/answers it can become tricky to make it easy for both languages. An upgrade would be very welcome!

Sure, but we have the option not to do so, while on ALs we don't since we need to be within the set distance in order to answer the question.

That sounds great! However, about the last option, I'm not so sure. In that case shouldn't there be that option for all cache types as well?

I think I can guess why this is happening to Adventure Labs and not other types of caches: ALs register the completion of locations imidiately and therefore, if the owner is allowed to see this information he can follow the players with quite good accuracy which of course could have security implications. However, I don't think it makes sense to be able to still check the first 3 to finish the locations. For Instance, when I published my AL, I asked for a friend to test it and I was very far away, at home on my computer, seeing them completing the stages instantly. There's no option to log it later when you're home unless you cheat. Bad intentioned people could use this as a weapon. I'm not aware of the privacy protection law details, but I'd say a possible solution would be to create some sort of delay between completion of locations and that information being available to the owner. Another easier solution would be to allow logging later. (These are just guesses, I don't know what I'm talking about)

I've been feeling over the years that Groundspeak is more focused on beginer Geocachers than on pro ones, so I'm not sure they'll ever do an app for pros.

This would be very helpful! I hope it's a feature they'll add in the future.

If it has good internet coverage, I don't see why not! It would for sure be an interesting experience! Go ahead!

Same situation here. My AL is in a village which is already full of caches in the center, so the physical location would have to be a few minutes away from the AL locations, which is not ideal. Besides, it seems like a very archaic way of doing it. But as Lynx Humble indicated, Groundspeak is aware of this and is working on it, at least in theory.

I'll keep hopeful nevertheless

Very helpful! Thanks a lot! I was very happy to read "So, that’s coming soon. I can’t tell you what soon means but I would say certainly at some point in 2020". Let's see if they can accomplish this goal.

Yes, quite a long beta version. But has Groundspeak officially stated it'll be all integrated in the future? Or is it just a guess? C'mon, Groundspeak, what are you doing with our premium money?

Hello, I was wondering why Adventure Labs seem to be in a parallel universe to that of Geocaching? Maybe I'm wrong, but on the main Geocaching website, the only way to access the labs website is thru someone's found or owned caches in the profile, or on the Guidelines page. And why don't we have an icon for the labs on the main Geocaching map? And why can't we set up the premium notifications feature to work with Lab Caches? Not even found notifications for lab owners? Wherigos are very similar to labs in terms of concept and yet they are very well integrated with the main website. I don't think this fragmentation makes sense at all, but maybe there's a reason for it. let me know! Jaleco

Olá a todos! Recentemente surgiu-me uma duvida: Qual é o requerimento para que um log num CITO seja considerado válido? Por exemplo, numa cache tradicional, se não estiver o nick no logbook, à partida, o owner pode apagar o log. Mas a minha questão incide no CITO: Se um geocacher não assinou o logbook do CITO, nem esteve nas coordenadas deste, só viu o CITO por escassos segundos a uma distância de 50m das coordenadas dadas, e nem se dirigiu ao owner para dar conhecimento da sua passagem (e o owner nem o viu), o owner tem o direito de apagar o log deste? Muito obrigado
