Another small bug:
There is no need for a second (and third and so forth) page, if I only have 7 archived hides.

There is also this page, but the link from there to 'learn more' is dead.

Since I thought that this was a little mystery to solve, I made some research:
The "mysterious stranger" does exist and is here: https://www.geocaching.com/p/default.aspx?u="mysterious+stranger"&tab=lists#profilepanel
There are several geocaches with the title "." from pre 2007 (As that was the last time that mysterious stranger was online) you might look through them yourself to find the geocache you look for.

Was genau meinst du mit weiterblättern?

Also, Groundspeak could simply make a conscious effort to deliberately break that app, because it puts an unusually high load on the servers. I don't think they've done so yet, but they certainly could.
I think I read they once did some years ago, but then couldn't or didn't want to keep it up. But I can't give any source to that nor was I around at that time.

Ist dir eigentlich klar, dass es neben Geocaching.com noch weitere Seiten gibt auf denen Cache gelistet werden. Nachdem du das Döschen mitgenommen hast solltest du auch auf den anderen Seiten mal nachsehen, ob es an dieser Stelle wirklich nichts gibt.
Stimmt, daran hatte ich auch nicht gedacht
-
Am einfachsten ist es, wenn du einen GC Code in der Dose findest, dann ist dir Seite des zugehörigen Geocaches coord.info/GCXXXX
Ansonsten kannst du natürlich auch das Profil von den Findern raussuchen und bis 2015 zurück scrollen bis du ihre Funde an dem Tag an dem sie den Cache gefunden siehst.

Thank you very much!
With the 5km tool my areas are 381.5 km^2 and 327.9 km^2 big

Those are the two basics, all you need for full caching functionality. (I think; dunno if Pro adds anything to the Free offering in that regard.)
As far as I know, logging from the locus app is a Pro feature, which is why I don't use it.

posted a link to his cool Challenge Checker for your geocaching territory.
I wondered how big these territories get, so it would be nice if you post your territory sizes!
I have one with 206.9 km^2 and one with 121.6 km^2.
Maybe @arisoft can even create a checker with 5km max distance, since 3km is a bit short for sparsely cached areas.
-
The second one from your list does everything you want to (I am not sure about routing) and is free and open source, however it violates Groundspeaks Terms of Use.
The other possibility that can definitely do everything you want is "Locus Maps" (as @kunarion already mentioned) with the Geocaching Add-On. Routing (using brouter), Maps (if you don't take their maps but those from OpenAndroMaps.org) and Geocaching (mostly) is free, however to log from the app you have to pay.

Ich nehme meine Karten für das GPS immer von http://openmtbmap.org
Zum planen habe ich erstelle ich mir mittels mkgmap eigene Karten, die ich theoretisch auch auf das GPS laden könnte. Falls du dich also etwas eingehender mit dem Thema beschäftigen möchtest, dann wäre das auch ein Option.

On Windows you could use QMapShack and pocket queries.
-
You could take a look at QMapShack.
As maps you could use openstreetmap based maps from various sources.
This would work worldwide, not only in Canada.
-
Did anyone else get these buttons (they're not clickable though) under logs?
The only place I get them is this listing.
-
This is only available in the Website as far as i know.
-
Besides Basecamp there is also QMapShack, which you can use to plan trips. However its learning curve is a bit steeper.
You can get map files based on openstreetmap which are mostly free.
-
Ansonsten könnte es noch sein, dass Start und Endpunkt identisch sind. Aus irgendeinem Grund geht das Hochladen dann auch nicht.

When I try to access any page on geocaching, I get thrown to the sign in page and after I entered username and password the page just loads. Sometimes I get a server error 500, sometimes it will try to load endlessly.
Does anybody else get this?

My two cents:
As mentioned before; there are many "older" cachers who use a GPSr rather than a smartphone for GCing.
When traveling internationally using Data on your smartphone can also be very expensive; in my travels to Events I rely on WiFi connections at the Hotel for Data. I would log the Lab Caches from my laptop in the evening. Having the GPX also allows for loading them easily on my Car GPSr.
How will offline finding of Lab Caches be addressed?
Not only the older ones ?
-
This Bug still exists, are there any plans to fix it?
-
I think this is a great improvement, but what I am currently missing on the map is a scale and the openstreetmap maps, since the geocaching map still has a lot of potential for improvement.

Also, Earthcaches can be hidden away from home, if you visited the place in the last three months.

This is one aspect of the Terrain Rating that I've given some thought to recently, which has always seemed a somewhat blunt instrument to reflect the true effort involved. We have one park near me that covers a prominent ridge line, with upwards of 100 cache of various Terrain levels. The ones at the start of the hikes, tend to be predictably 1-2 Star Terrain, while the ones at the top of the ridge that might require 3 miles of hiking and 1,500 feet of elevation gain, are in the 3 Star Terrain category, with a smattering of 4 Star Terrain, for no particular reason. The other aspect that I considered kind of odd, is that once I gain the ridgecrest, it's a relatively insignificant effort to go between all these 3 Star Terrain caches along the top of the ridge, while picking up some of the 1-2 Star Terrain caches at the end of my hike when I'm exhausted and dehydrated, might end up taking more effort than the ones at the top of the ridge. My thought was that one way to equal out this process is to include heart rate monitor data, so that the Terrain reflects the true effort, rather than some fictional metric that really doesn't have much bearing on reality.
I think including heartrate data is a bit of an overkill. Also, if I do 10 100m sprints and then look for a park and grab, from the heartrate it would be T4.5, but that has nothing to do with how hard it was to get to the Cache.
I think the current system works pretty well. (I only had Geocaches yet, on which I would have put a lower T rating) However, if it isn't in the description anymore, I think it should be put back, that terrain rating includes how you reach the Cache once at the coordinates.

Route mit Koordinaten planen
in Geocaching

QMapShack kann das seit diesem Frühjahr auch (kleiner disclaimer: ich hab das implementiert
)
Dieses Problem lässt sich (mehr oder weniger gut) durch Verwendung eines auf die eigenen Wünsche angepassten BRouter Profils in QMapShack lösen.
