  1. Mine is 200 days. Oops. I can see where MNTA is coming from, my philosophy is that you can't enjoy summer without winter, or day without night. Plus a big dose of GeoElmo6000's "don't stress about it" ideal.
  2. Before the benchmark purge, I am looking for users with the most benchmark logs, particularly with numbers in the thousands. Not found logs, but logs in general. So far I know of: shorbird = 11,553 AZcachemeister = 4,658 VagabondsWV = 4,601 kayakbird = 4,278 seventhings = 4,277 seadog129 = 4,106 Me & Bucky = 4,062 wister6813 = 3,998 Ernmark = 3,424 PFF = 2,522 Skyboy01 = 2,426 ArtMan = 2,354 mloser = 2,251 CallawayMT = 1,960 2/3 Marine = 1,913 edexter = 1,832 Supercheeseburger = 1,812 NorthWes = 1,685 topflitejr1 = 1,562 magtfplanner = 1,484 2oldfarts (the rockhounders) = 1,465 sillywillie = 1,456 Team Geo-Clarks = 1,317 southpawaz = 1,308 Ragfoot = 1,282 foxtrot_xray = 1,271 bvrballs = 1,261 Harry Dolphin = 1,243 TerraViators = 1,200 finds, unknown total AZTech = 1,078 GeoBama123 = 1,071 Papa-Bear-NYC = 1,036 Please let me know if you know of anybody else with substantial benchmark logs like the ones above.
  3. HHL: You are having more success with your Swedish lists, than I do with my Alberta and Saskatchewan lists. I note that your last four are all over the maximum of 750 caches to which I now appear to be limited. That is, my button "Add 750 to list" never goes higher than 750. I have tried several times with lists of 850 or more, and 750 is the maximum that I can add. Also, I have now worked out the process of creating lists from the search map which is a little trickier than I remember it being before. For example, before I figured out the process, when I had my map set to show only 50 caches at a time, (or 100 or 200), then, until I worked out the correct procedure, when I tried to add the geocaches I wanted to a list, my list would only contain 50, or 100, or 200, depending on what setting I was using for the number of caches to be shown on my map at the time I made the list. I have now worked out the crucial need to select the "Sort by" box on the upper left side of the screen beside the map. When I do that, I get the "Add 750 to list" box. Now that I have figured that part out, then (as you say), the procedure works "flawlessly" for me as well :-) Das Leben ist in der Tat eine Reise, aber für einige von uns hat es ein paar Wendungen mehr als für andere. :-) Vielen Dank für Ihre Antwort auf meinen Hinweis.

  4. There are recurring questions about trackable endurance and travel on the forum for which there are often very good responses, but based on limited information. The writer in a position to address most of the questions in more detail, and will do so in a series of posts over the next couple of years. I will explain. From January of 2010 to January 2023, I have released over 5,000 travel bugs at a rate of 200-450 per year. Over 13+ years some of the trackables have visited caches all over the world. They have been to every state in the US, every major administrative district (state, province, canton, oblast) in the countries of western and northern Europe, including the principalities of Andorra, San Marino, Lichtenstein and Monaco. My trackables have visited caches on every continent, including Antarctica. For now, the best supports of that claim are my past forum posts and the screen-captured map below, produced by gctrackables.com in open beta testing. What is shown is the distribution a sample of only a thousand of my trackables, sorted into either traveling trackables (blue markers) and missing trackables (green). For reasons unknown to me, not shown are the distribution of some trackables in caches. My trackables are not uniform in shape, size or composition. Some are simply the celebration tags marketed by Groundspeak (Makers, Holiday, CITO, Geopets, Zodiac, etc.), usually without attached items. However, most trackables do have items attached to dog tags (by chains or rivets) which can be glass, stone, wood, leather, metal, cloth patches or laminated images. Many are the size of poker chips (some are poker chips), others are smaller. There are keychain and jewelry pendants. The largest are laminated images measuring 2.25 x 3.25”. There are very few geocoins and no bowling pins or beanie babies. Should the reader wish to see photos of the trackables, they are all listed alphabetically by series name behind the “owned trackables” link on my profile page. I keep records on my trackables by series, based on either a theme or a general shape…see the first entries of the partial Comics spreadsheet below. After I enter drop dates, elapsed days between drops and the cumulative days between release and the most recent drop are calculated automatically. Shown in the first two columns are the number of drops achieved (Cnt for count) and the most recent drop log date (Last Log). These are also calculated automatically. A zero in the Cnt column means the trackable has either not moved, or has disappeared from, the container where it was released. I also maintain a catalog of my trackables…see partial catalog spreadsheet below. It displays part of the catalog with details about the Art Deco series. I hid many columns to make important information viewable as an image. There are two catalog numbers, the annual and total. Trackables are not cataloged until they are released. All entries start with the name, ID and tracking numbers and release dates and locations. The colored ID cells indicate missing travel bugs. For those, there is information on the last logged locations and dates, along with the count (Cnt) of drops achieved (retrieved from the respective series spreadsheet). The ultimate objective of this approach, decided upon years ago, was to enable comparisons of the rates of travel and survivorship among the series. For example, as a group, do poker chips have better histories than laminated images? For a series to be included for comparison in this project, I determined that each series must have at least one trackable achieve 30 drops, but there is a problem with that choice. Being 83 at this writing, there might not be enough time for me to do as much as once conceived. So, I will content myself with limited comparisons. Part 2 of this post defines release and drop, as employed in this project.
  5. So true! one of my favorite multis and caching memories with my late father Weekend 1 - Hit wp1 30 miles north Weekend 2 - wp2 200 miles north was visiting my parents on a planned trip, also visited GCHQ since we were one neighborhood over. Weekend 3 - wp3 final 120 miles southwest my father drove down the following weekend he was eager to finish and get the FTF and a nice trip to the beach and Mo's for dinner. Great times, thank!
  6. I have examined a specific segment of my trackables to establish a baseline rate of travel that should represent my entire collection of trackables…see the large figure and appended table below. The methods used to assemble the data are detailed in the previous five parts to this post. As before, the bottom row in the table is the n, or the number of trackables in the series that achieved each successive drop. The sample sizes decline from 3449 trackables at Drop 1 to 154 at Drop 30. The decline results from high attrition between early drops, losses of 11-16% while trackables are in the US, to 4-9% when the oldest-surviving trackables are outside the US. The solid-colored lines in the graph represent the top three rows of the table. They are the maximum (blue line) and minimum (gray) number of days required for a single trackable to achieve a specified drop. The orange line is the average days (the baseline) for all trackables to achieve a specific drop. The dotted line is the trend line for the average. The baseline is derived from the 24 series of trackables shown in the baseline contributors table below. The series are sorted into potential groupings that will likely be the basis of future comparisons. In those comparisons, the maximum and minimum lines will be omitted. They are retained here to illustrate the huge range of days for trackables to achieve specific drops. For example, for Drop 1, the min/max range is 0 to 3902 days, meaning there was one trackable released, retrieved and dropped again on the same day, whereas another trackable took 3902 days (10.7 years) to achieve the first drop. At 30 drops, the min/max values are 580 and 3966, respectively 1.6 and 10.9 years. The average to 30 drops is 1552 days (4.3 years). For convenience, I have also provided a days-to-years conversion table for each drop (see also below). The data at every drop are badly skewed because zero is the absolute limit to the minimum number of available days between drops, whereas there is no limit to the maximum. For the readers with a statistical bent, the standard (or average) deviation from the mean for each drop ranges from equal to, or more than twice that of the measured mean (average)…for normal (bell-shaped) distribution of values, we like to have values less than five percent of the mean, as opposed to the 100-200 percent seen here. Regrettably, the methods to attach any statistical significance to observed differences for skewed data have receded into the mental fog. Still, I can entertain myself by calculating averages and determining trends. The average rate of travel over 30 drops is 51.7 days (1552 ÷ 30), but that doesn’t tell the complete story. The rate of travel during the first 15 drops (when more than half of the trackables are in the US) is 67.2 days per drop (1008 ÷ 15), whereas the rate for drops 16 through 30 (when more than half of the surviving trackables are outside the US, mostly Europe) is 36.3 days per drop ([1552 – 1008] ÷ 15). While I do believe trackables move more frequently in Europe than in the US, these values do not constitute proof, they are merely suggestive. The reason being there are unquantified fractions from each region represented in early and late drops. That said, if I ever decide to winnow and compare US-only and Europe-only cohorts, I have every confidence that the difference will be even greater than reported here. That there are differences in the early and late rates of travel can be seen by comparing the baseline with the trend line. The trend line is straight while the baseline is a gentle arc, reflecting how the rate of travel decreases with subsequent drops. This the concluding part of this post. This project will continue later with another multi-part post comparing series of trackables with each other, and to the baseline.
  7. I've been out of action for a while. Long enough that I can't remember how to use my GPS. Not so much the function...but getting caches onto the unit. Any help is greatly appreciated.
  8. I remember trying to drop off a TB I brought from London that wanted to go to a particular suburb in Sydney and I was trying to do this. Cache after cache I visited were micros listed as smalls. It got VERY annoying and did nothing to make the game enjoyable. Finally I found a real small and could leave the TB in that. It's not hard to rate the cache size correctly. Those &%$@ & NANOs, they are the cause of many wrong size ratings. You would have hated my caching trip today. Bush bashing through dense vegetation. After more than an hour we had only got 100 to 200 metres closer to the cache. Called it a day, but will try again.
  9. And as far as the other reply: I disagree about integrating the builder with the site, at least from a technical level. If we had a web-based builder app, we could perform a seamless redirection between both applications. Besides, with the API in place, the Urwigo builder can also offer a seamless experience. You can use the app to search for cartridges either by the map or any other UI because, you know: API. Templates are a good idea. I was mostly thinking about smaller snippets, but it's reasonable that someone could build a larger template. I'd rather start with cartridges being closed source because almost all are tied to a final geocache. I can't simply remove the last zone in a cartridge when it's copied because there isn't a simple way to tell what the last zone is. Other cartridges simply tell the final coordinates. I'd rather incentivize open source sharing or say a cartridge automatically becomes open source after a period of one or two years after its last update. I forgot about the media resizing feature. But, yes, media should automatically fit the view, but should be capped at zooming in 200% to avoid being too pixelated. Hopefully, it's more about downscaling. Yes, there won't be completion codes because of the API. When the cartridge marks itself as complete, the player app will send that information to the site via the API when the device has a data connection again (or immediately if it does at that time). Assets get a bit difficult to work with because we'd need some sort of community curation. Fortunately, someone could create an asset management application and API for builder apps to use. It does not have to be tied to the listing service's API (really, it shouldn't anyway). I don't have experience with Unity. However, the player app itself should be able to load different player runtime environments. This would allow for v1 to work, v2, and anything more complicated, such as something with Unity. Wherigo v1 wasn't map-based because it predated devices being Internet-connected. These days, Internet connectivity is the norm. So, the UI should be primarily map-based I'll be relying on others, then, to come up with a good UI for the website. I can hold my own, but a graphic designer and animator I am not. Perhaps Wherigo Invaders is the perfect way to gamify the site. I should probably make a long post to cover what Wherigo Invaders is. You have concepts from travel bugs, Ingress, Munzee, trading card games, and whatnot, and this provides a sort of meta game that gets you to revisit cartridges. And the other items: If you're considering integrating Waymarking with Wherigo, you'll need to answer some questions. First: what is Wherigo at its core? How would including waymarks strengthen Wherigo's core fun factor? (Waymarking could have been Swarm/Foresqure, but was never developed upon after its release.) How easy would it be for an average Wherigo author to include AR? We need it to be easier and more enticing to set up Wherigo cartridges. AR could be explored in the long term, but building a fun core game that can be fairly easy to create content for is a priority. We need the map to fill up with cartridges. Skinning was on my shorter list. However, I didn't think about skinning the map itself. (That is, allow the author to create a map upon which the game is played instead of the satellite or road map. We'll have to either have map tiles or just a very high resolution, large map file. That could be doable. Credits and such play into Wherigo Invaders. Challenges would be interesting. I forgot about adding to the player API the ability to query the current time. Good idea.
  10. Resistiver Touchscreen Ein resistiver Touchscreen besteht aus Schichten, die auf Druck reagieren, der auf den Bildschirm ausgeübt wird. Da resistive Touchscreens auf Druck reagieren, können Sie den Bildschirm mit einem Stift, dem Fingernagel oder anderen Utensilien berühren. Resistive Bildschirme können auch mit Handschuhen bedient werden, was sie ideal für die Jagd, das Schneemobilfahren und das Skifahren macht. Achten Sie darauf, dass Sie nicht zu viel Druck ausüben, da dies den Bildschirm beschädigen könnte.

  11. Just to clarify, there could be 200 of the same waymark titles in the same city? Starbucks - Wi-Fi Hotspot - New York City, NY, USA
  12. Recently, I have discovered 2 geocachers in my area who have logged caches as 'found' but their caching handles do not appear on the log sheets. While they are relative newbies (one <100 finds, the other <200), they should have sufficient understanding about claiming a find. I have reached out to both... with no response. I do not believe that they just "didn't have a pencil"; I believe this is claiming a find without physical presence, and hoping the owner does nothing. I know I can delete the log, but if this is a habit, and I'm the only one 'policing' my caches, then this pattern will continue. I can check one because 'his' handle is public to review other caches claimed; I cannot check the other as 'his' handle is private. comments? suggestions?
  13. As someone who has searched for and documented well over 1,200 benchmarks over the past 20 years, it certainly was very surprising and disappointing to discover that the benchmark hunting section of Geocaching.com was gone without any warning to me. I do not regularly read the forums, so I had no idea this change was imminent. I only found out when I researched it after the fact. I receive plenty of emails from Groundspeak about souvenirs and their latest promotions—would it have been that difficult for them to send a message about the "retirement" of the benchmark pages? Another thing that should have been done was to add a deprecation announcement to each benchmark page, so it would be obvious to anyone viewing the pages that after a certain date, the benchmark pages would no longer be available. It's just standard practice. But apparently it's too late for any of that. I understand the need to move away from legacy code that has become a maintenance burden, hinders future innovation, and does not fit the current goals of the organization. Frankly, given the lack of updates to the benchmarking portion of the site, I expected this to happen a long time ago, and that's why I began documenting my survey mark recoveries on my own website instead. But many people did not have that option, and they put a lot of time and effort into their benchmark logs on Geocaching.com. We have also heard over and over how useful geocachers' logs have been for professional surveyors. We had built an impressive archive of historical documentation over the decades, much of which is not available elsewhere, and it is a shame to lose that. For anyone who wants to retrieve the text (not the photos) of their benchmark logs and see others' logs for a particular mark, you can use Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. The benchmarking home page (as of December 30, 2022) is available here: https://web.archive.org/web/20221230041305/https://www.geocaching.com/mark/ The postal code search doesn't work, but the PID search does, at least for all PIDs I have tried. To go directly to a mark's page, you can use URLs of the form: https://web.archive.org/web/20221208090238/https://www.geocaching.com/mark/details.aspx?PID=[PID] where [PID] is the mark's PID. Unfortunately, because I don't see a way to view the marks a user has logged, you will need to know the PIDs of any marks you want to look up on the Wayback Machine archive. The NGS Data Explorer can help with that: https://geodesy.noaa.gov/NGSDataExplorer/ I hope this is useful. To anyone who enjoyed this activity, took it seriously, and understands its value, please spend some time on the NGS website and learn how to submit your data directly to them instead. Survey marks are still in constant use and your efforts will be appreciated there.
  14. I recently started Geocaching and love that I can combine it with my love for hiking. I always stay on the trails, but with GC I've now discovered great places off the trail both hiking and mtn biking that I can be comfortable exploring seeing as how people before me have blazed the way. Time to get a GPS! Its all about the kids this time of the year so my budget is $200 (Merry Christmas to me). I am comfortable with technology and would like something that won't be obsolete in a year or two. What I've found so far is: Garmin eTrex 20 and Magellan eXplorist 310. Which do you recommend and why? Is there another in this price range you would suggest? Thank you in advance for your advice!
  15. I have used Erik's webpages quite frequently recently (THANKS again, great site!). Looking forward to the new developments in 2023. On the basis of his page showing the top posters (total, region, first in country&region), I was thinking who has posted and visited the most unique categories. On the basis of the top 200 posters in Erik's file ( https://wm.familie-frohne.net/count_user.php ), I did a manual check of each WayMarkers' profile (combined, post and visit). Created an document in Excel to capture the data et voila... see file attached. I will regularly update on my profile page. Hopefully Erik can do some of his magic in a future update :-) happy holidays season to every and hope you have a great start of 2023! Frank Update 28-12 Updated the file (missed a few people and made a mistake by adding someone by error). Used input of all top 230 Waymarkers (700+ posts). Nevertheless, I can not easily see when someone has visited a lot of different categories. I could potentially miss a few waymarkers with high levels of finds, if they have low level of posts.
  16. Nope, they're not. When I started caching back in 2004 I don't think there was a premium cache with 200 miles. I still remember how offended I was when one showed up nearby. I swore I would never make any of my caches PMO. Times change, in 2004 you needed a $200+ GPS to play, now it's free. Anyone with a smart phone (which is pretty much anyone over 6 years old) can download the app and start caching (or pranking cachers). These days almost all my caches are PMO, it's not a cure but it helps cut down on all sorts of issues. Out of curiosity I ran a PQ of caches near his one find. (can you tell I'm retired) I put them in GSAK and searched for any logs by the user and, out of around 700 caches, the only one was his single "found it" on your cache. No bogus NM or NA logs or anything like that. My take is that he's a bored kid sending messages and seeing who will respond.
  17. I've been thinking and pondering this for awhile - and I went back to see my goals for 2020 (I wonder what happened to the 2021 thread?), and apparently there was no 2022 thread....anyway: Here are my goals for 2020: Get my total find count to 2020. My goal for 2019 was to reach 2000 finds; I'm still over 200 away from that goal, and maybe 2020 in 2020 is attainable! Find a cache on Feb. 29 to finish my calendar grid. We filled every day in 2018 except for Feb. 29, and this will be our first opportunity to fill that day since we began geocaching in 2017. Host an event. We've attended events, but never hosted one. I applied for one of the Celebration events - we'll see if that comes through. Hide 12 more caches. Same goal as 2019, and I only got 6 hidden then. I'll go for 12 again! Complete at least one Adventure Lab Cache. A few have popped up in reasonable driving distance, and I'm curious to see how it goes. I enjoy Wherigo caches, when they work! How did I do? I did reach 2020 finds on 10/26/2020 - my log for GC91PE9 - https://coord.info/GL131EHA0 I did find a cache on Feb. 29 - in fact, I found 7 that day, one being a Feb. 29th event that happened to be one of the last events held in our area (or anywhere else!) for a LOOOONG time. I did NOT host an event in 2020; I did receive one of the Celebration events, but....COVID. I eventually hosted my event in June 2022, https://coord.info/GC8ZE3T I did NOT hide 12 more caches. I actually completed a couple of Adventure Labs by the end of 2019, and did a few more in 2020, so that goal was reached! 3/5 for 2020, despite COVID. GOALS for 2023 - as 2022 draws to a close.... Host a CITO, and possibly a "regular" event Reach 3000 finds - we've averaged about 500 a year since our start in 2017, I'm currently at 2587, so it's attainable, especially if we do more travelng, as we hope to do Keep my "traditionals" at 75% or less of total finds; in other words, up my puzzles, multi's, Wherigo's and challenges - though now with Adventure Labs, it's a lttle easier to keep trads below 75% Hide a few more and continue to maintain the hides I do have; between hubby's and mine, it's a challenge at times! Merry Christmas to all, and may 2023 bring all good things to all of you!
  18. What to do with the eXplorist 200, 210, 300, 400, 500 and 600 models I just purchased off eBay? Have not found an explorist XL I want just yet....
  19. I was trying to add my found caches to lists. Since there is more than 1,000 of them, it has to be more than one list. I painstakingly searched five times, using the "find date" filter to exclude the ones I had already listed. After each search, I clicked "add 1,000 to list" followed by "create a new list" and named the lists with the date of the first find in that list. The result was this, except I have since then added 200 caches to one of the lists. So I got five empty lists. No caches added. Then I made another search, not involving own finds, resulting in over 1,000 caches. Tried to click "add 1,000 to list" again, and was presented with this: Note that several of these lists are empty, still it is not allowed to add 1,000 caches to them. I clicked the check mark to select the caches on the first page of the search result only, clicked "add 100 to list", and then those were added to the selected list. Finally, I made a search resulting in over 900 caches, and those I could add with one click to one of the empty lists. So in conclusion, it seems not possible to add the first 1,000 out of a search result of 1,000 or more caches even to an empty list. Of course making it even more excruciating to make lists out of a large search result, e.g. to be able to compile a list of your own find history.
  20. Auch in diesem Jahr sind wieder einige bekannte Caches in die ewigen Archiv-Gründe gewandert. So möchte ich hier, wie in den letzten Jahren, einiger Exemplare im Jahresrückblick gedenken. Diese berühmten Caches stehen leider auf dieser Liste: GC4VXMT – Das Das Opfer des Bahnarbeiters An diesen Cache hatte man sich gewöhnt, und zwar über Jahre hinweg in den Best-Of-Listen. Das Meisterwerk, mit einer offiziellen und einer inoffiziellen Wegführung, wurde im Jahr 2014 gepublisht und entwickelte sich zum Dauerbrenner. Stets war der Kalender rappelvoll. Der kreative Owner maximaler Mustermann, der auch “Die Kinder des Buchbinders” mitverantwortet, hat hier mit enormen Einsatz ein überregional bekanntes Werk geschaffen. Immer wieder mussten Stationen aus verschiedenen Gründen umgeplant oder neu geschaffen werden. Als nun aber der ausrangierte Eisenbahnwaggon als markanteste Station in ein Museum verfrachtet wurde, zog der Owner schweren Herzens den Schlussstrich. GC366E9 – Isla de la Munecas Gemessen an der Anzahl der Favoritenpunkte war dies der viertbeste Tradi in Niedersachsen. Dieser verkehrsgünstig an der A30 gelegene Cache entfaltete sein schaurig-schönes Feeling am Besten bei Besuchen in der Dämmerung. Zum Schluss hat dem Owner evtl. die Zeit oder Muße gefehlt, dem Cache die notwendigen Wartungsarbeiten zukommen zu lassen. Den Logs nach zu urteilen, muss dieser Cache am Ende seines Daseins leider nur noch ein Schatten vergangener Tage gewesen sein. Im Juli war es dann nach zehn Jahren soweit. “Alles hat seine Zeit, diese ist nun abgelaufen” schrieb der Owner in sein Archivierungslog. Dem ist nichts hinzuzufügen. GC34Q9T – Steine 1 “Dies ist unser erster Cache”, so beginnt der Listingtext, der erfahrungsgemäß nicht gerade auf übermäßige Qualitätscaches hinweist. Nun, das war hier anders, denn mit über 2.000 FPs war es der viertbeste Tradi in Bayern. Auf den Plätzen davor, neben zwei TB-Hotels, noch „Steine 2“ vom selben Owner. Übrigens dicht gefolgt von „Steine 3“. Wer also mal Steine sammeln möchte: Die Gegend bei Aschaffenburg eignet sich dafür hervorragend. Die erste Steine-Version musste der Owner nun aber schweren Herzens archivieren, da der Zahn der Zeit doch an diesem Cache genagt hatte. GC1J52Y – Dragonheart - der Letzte seiner Art Dieser nordwestlich von Pforzheim gelegene Multi tauchte ob der hohen Bewertungen auch immer wieder in verschiedenen Besten-Listen auf. Krankheitsbedingt musste dieser 13-Stationen-Multi dann im Mai archiviert werden. Caches von Mystphi: Die Ownerlegende aus Hamburg stand wie kein anderer für urbane Cachekunst, über 30.000 FPs machten seine Caches weit über die Grenzen Hamburgs hinaus bekannt. Nach dem Tod des Owners im Jahr 2018 wird die Cachewartung mit seinem Account weiter geführt. Am Anfang klappte das noch recht gut, doch mit der Zeit sieht man an den immer längeren und häufigeren Deaktivierungsphasen, dass deren Ende naht. Die folgenden vier Caches sind leider bereits dabei: GC146KA – Zielinskissimus Agetatio Die geniale Idee, einen Cache an einem solchen Ort zu verstecken, kann nur von einem kommen. Die Reviewer drückten hier wirklich alle Augen zu, aber im April musste dieser Cache dann doch archiviert werden. Über 2.600 FPs bei einer Quote von 76% sprechen eine deutliche Sprache, insbesondere wenn man bedenkt, dass der Cache drei Jahre vor der Einführung der Favoritenpunkte gepublisht wurde. GC23JKG – Der magnetische Nordpol Auch bei diesem Cache ließen die Reviewer lange Zeit Gnade vor Recht ergehen, aber dann kam es, wie es kommen musste: Im Februar wurde dieser Multi archiviert. GC13TK1 – Mind Attack Ich weiß nicht, ob ein Owner bereits vor Mystphi auf die Idee gekommen ist, an einem solchen Ort eine Station zu verstecken. Die dreiste Idee, die hier im Jahre 2007 umgesetzt wurde, wurde leider durch einen Brand im Juni diesen Jahres zerstört. GC3DP2E – Ich bin doch nicht micro! (Advanced Version) Wie kommt man auf solche Ideen? Im Jahr 2012 hat sich Mystphi auf geniale Weise den Einkaufswagen-Unterstellstand eines Supermarktes vorgenommen. Über 2.200 FPs bei einer für Quote von über 70% sprechen Bände. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt war es der Cache mit den meisten FPs in Schleswig Holstein. Die bauliche Veränderung an dieser Stelle hätte wohl aber auch Mystphi gezwungen, diesen Cache zu archivieren. Gerade noch „von der Schippe gesprungen“: GC8Q2DK – w.iliams Werkstatt Gemessen am Wilson-Score ist dieser Cache der drittbeste in Niedersachsen, auch die anderen beiden Caches des Owners finden sich in dieser Liste unter den Top 10. Im April wurden alle Caches aus gesundheitlichen Gründen deaktiviert, aber dann im Juni zum Glück wieder aktiviert. Da dieser Cache noch aktiv ist, soll hier nicht gespoilert werden, aber beim Anblick des Finals habe ich damals einen spitzen Schrei der begeisterten Überraschung ausgestoßen. Wie in einem richtigen Nachruf muss die Auswahl natürlich irgendwie beschränkt werden, in diesem Fall auf mehr oder weniger bekannte Exemplare. Etwa, weil diese Caches viele Favoritenpunkte haben, überregional bekannt sind, oder sonst etwas. Außerdem spielt natürlich mein persönlicher Bezug eine Rolle, denn die meisten der genannten Exemplare habe ich auch gefunden. Somit ist dieser Nachruf weder vollständig, noch in irgendeiner Art wertend. Wer weitere Caches hat, die hier reinpassen: Bitte ergänzen
  21. I see that the Benchmark Count will be retained. Will I still have access to see which of the 200 benchmarks I have found? Is there a way to save that data if it is no longer available after January 4, 2023? I am sad and wish this would have remained. I even have a benchmark coin that I take with me when I benchmark.
  22. The announcement was made in mid-October. You consider 5 1/2 weeks before Thanksgiving to be "right before the holidays"? Considering the vast majority of geocachers don't visit the forums it certainly did fly under the radar. Was it ever mentioned in the weekly emails from Groundspeak? Groundspeak is a business. Since the vast majority of their perceived customers have less than 100 lifetime Finds their decision-making is aimed primarily at those cachers. If getting rid of benchmarks costs Groundspeak 100 PMs (and I doubt it will), but new feature Groundspeak is going to roll out after getting the old benchmarking code out of the way gets them 200 new PMs that's a win for Groundspeak. And the new feature will be used worldwide instead of only in the US. Unlike most aspects of geocaching.com, Benchmarking could only ever appeal to half the customer base because of its geographical limitations. As long as Groundspeak is a for-profit business it will do what they think is best for business. Trying to keep 1% of geocachers happy isn't important for business.
  23. The new search result release seems to have solved this problem. (It did create a lot of other problems that have been or are being fixed.) I want to thank GS for fixing this issue. The new remaining difficulty, for me, is that now one can only add at most 200 caches at a time from a filtered search result to a list. I understand from another thread that this issue is being addressed. Of course, one can add additional caches from the search in batches of 200, so it is not a big problem.
  24. 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!
  25. When filtering by United Kingdom all caches with the name containing village hall series on a mobile this is the result I get. - The names are so truncated that the numbers and location are missing so they all have the same name. - They are not sorted by home location but some random point in UK (the first one in the list is 150 km from my home) - if I chose to change the column from favourites I can only pick one filter at a time and Difficulty and terrain are separate so no option to see D/T - no option to see date I found the cache. - glad that the search is now separated into tabs of 200 but there are 1200 caches in the series but I can still only see 1000 - why are there only 5 tabs available?. (Which 200 are missing as it is not the furthest from home - so is it a random selection that are not shown?) When I changed the search to from home location rather than United Kingdom with the same name search name contains it bought up a list which was headed ‘date found’ although they appear to be sorted as furthest from home as the first on the list which was actually 879km from home in northern Scotland (I am South coast England). I then chose to display by closest distance (via 3 dots) and the mileage displayed was in thousands of km. It still did not bring up closest to home and no idea where it sets the distance from (maybe America) I have been unable to find a way to sort the list by closest to home at all as it doesn’t seem to recognise my location although it is entered correctly in settings. I have also noticed when changing the filters via the three dots - if you are on for example distance, click the 3 dots for alternatives but decide you don’t want to change it, there is no option to either abort the search with an X or re choose the one you are already on ( In this example distance) therefore I had to choose another option and then go back again to revert to distance. please give us the option to use the old search until you can resolve the problems
