+mtrax Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 apart from an icon on my account page is there any other use for this "friend" feature? thanks Link to comment
+5 Caching Campers Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Granted, I haven't looked at it in dept, but about the only use I've seen for it is making it easy to find caching friends. I just go to http://www.geocaching.com/my/myfriends.aspx and click on their link instead of having to bookmark their profile or try to remember a cache they've done. Outside of that, I could think of a pretty long list of things that would be nice to have... though honestly, I'd rather see a Groundspeak sponsored Facebook app then have them try to create their own social network.

+Lil Devil Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I think the Friends List is still a work in progress. Until Groundspeak adds more functionality, here are a couple of Greasemonkey scripts that add some features to the Friends List. Link to comment

+Helgertjes Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 (edited) Is this the platform for feature requests/enhancements? Because there is a feature that can be valuable for geocachers caching together (aka friends ). If you would be able to say "today I'm caching with my geocaching friend x, so show me all the caches near y that neither of us has found yet", you can easily go looking for caches together. At work I have several colleagues with whom I cache during lunchtime. But it's not always the same person, so now we select a cache, manually check whether the other one has already found that cache. If so, we try to find another one. When the number of caches found increases in a certain area, this gets rather time consuming. A simple query that takes friends into account can solve our problems and is a nice feature to have (at least that's what I think). Edited December 8, 2008 by Helgertjes Link to comment
+bashendriks Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Hi, I really like to see the 'show me all caches that i, and my friend x, have not found' as described by Helgertjes. Bye, BasHendriks Link to comment
+Helgertjes Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 This thread is linked to this one, describing same functionality. Link to comment
