[FEATURE] Add GC # to uploaded field notes

[+greenwoodturner]

After uploading field notes to geocaching.com, you see a list showing the cache name and the timestamp. It would be nice if the GC # were also displayed. When we are geocaching, my wife keeps notes in a notebook for each cache we have attempted; this allows us to write more meaningful log entries, since we don't have to rely only on our memories. On occasion, she has accidentally forgotten to add an entry for a cache; this has occasionally caused me to log the wrong information, since the field notes and her notes no longer are in sync. To remedy this, I frequently have to open up the cache description page while I'm logging, to make sure that I'm using the correct notes from her notebook. This is a very inefficient way of logging and really slows the process down. It would be SOOOO much nicer if the field notes page showed the GC #, since this would allow me to quickly detect when an entry has been omitted from her notebook. I would think that this would be a trivial change to the geocaching.com website.

Why not just include the 'name' of the cache in the notebook?

 

No need to wait ages for Groundspeak to consider the feature, hold several roundtable discussions, etc, etc, etc.

 

P.S. The timestamp is also unreliable.

I always put a couple of words e.g. 'friendly horse at GZ', 'fungi' in the field notes as we are in the field, to jog our memories when logging later.

It would be very helpful to have the GC-code in the field notes listing, for quick search etc.
