Enhancement Request - Not At Coordinates

Posted (edited)

Many times before I hike or bike I'll load up my GPS with all the geocaches around the area I'm in. If I'm riding along and see a Geocache come up on my GPS screen I'll detour to find it. Only to get there and find out its not at the coordinates listed.

 

I know puzzle caches can be really fun some times, but I really wish that when we built pocket queries there was a filter for "not at listed coordinates". This could be a little checkbox that could be added to geocaches, and I think would be up-to-date on all caches in a month or two.

 

I'm not sure if this type of cache should have their own name, like a "puzzle cache", or just an option that lists them as "not at coordinates listed", but this would be helpful for a lot of people I think.

 

Thanks!

Filter out Mystery caches. They are the ones usually not at the listed coordinates.

Are you filtering for only traditional caches and finding times that they aren't at the listed coordinates? I'm confused. I can already filter to just those caches that are at the posted coordinates if I want.

 

For some mystery caches, they may be at the listed coordinates, so for those, I can read the page to find out if there's something to solve to get the coordinates or if it's really there.
