Feature request GC Google map - hide disabeld

[+Katzenohr]

Hi,

 

I'd appreciate a feature to hide disabled / archived caches in GC google-maps, like

"Hide My Finds" and "Hide My Caches". This would help to clean up some map prints.

 

What do YOU think about it?

 

thx

Archived caches don't show on the map. Disabled caches show as a different color. Orange?

They are shown slightly more grey than normal caches (at least on my maps/browser). Especially on printings you can't tell them apart.

 

Anyway - what's the point of seeing disabled caches in maps beside of information for hiding new caches?

Often, seeing a cache on the map is my first heads-up that a cache I was planning to hunt had recently been disabled.

 

Disabled caches show up in search results and on maps in order to be annoying. The phrase is "TEMPORARILY disabled." If a cache in a parking lot one mile from the owner's house has been disabled for four months, and you're tired of seeing it show up, write the owner or log a "Needs Archived."

You're right, the color change could be better, something that would more strongly distinguish active from disabled caches. I don't print those maps, but I understand your point.

Grey for me. But would prefer a box to tick to remove them from the map page altogether.

I would absolutely LOVE to have that check box! As meager as my vote is, it's a yes.

And what is to be done to get such a feature realized from programmers / developers?

 

I already asked Groundspeak, but they advised me to discuss this here.

Perhaps more people could tell their opinion about such a feature, plz.

[+Corey]

Would be nice.

Disabled does not equal missing. Often I had two or three DNFs from experienced cachers that I disabled until I can get out there only to have another cacher find it after it was disabled and before I can get there.

 

That said, a way to filter out finds like on the nearest caches on your My Account page would be great.

The request for this feature has been brought up many times before. It makes so much sense to to me. I guess TPTB don't want us to have it.

I go to the Map Results view to plan routs for geocaching outings. The ability to "Hide Inactive" caches would be a VERY nice feature addition.

 

It allows me to focus on caches that will enable me to be more productive.

Being able to filter those out is a premium member function.
