New Sort Option --- Favorite Quote

[+white_omen]

Hello,

 

mostly when we plan a geocache tours, we decide a location and then check there, where the good caches are. Therefore we make PQ and go to the preview. Then we sort the caches after the Favorites, so we can see, which one has good ratings.

 

But there is one problem. A cache, which has 160 favs and 1000 premium logs isn't mostly not that good then a cache with 160 favs and 200 premium logs. So we have to click on every cache to see the quote of favorite points and premium logs. If you do this for 100 caches, it is a bit annoying.

 

 

So I want to know, if it is possible to implent a new column, where you can directly see the quote and sort after it. This would make planing geocache tours with good rated caches a lot easier.

 

 

So now, what does the rest of the community think about that idea?

 

 

King regards

Not exactly what you want but close....use Project-GC....I've filtered to your region.....http://project-gc.com/CacheStats/topfav/?country=Germany&region=Bayern&submit=Filter

It lists the favorites by FP numbers but if you hover over each bar it will give you a percentage. It's faster then using the GC method.

If you buy a membership on Project-GC you can filter caches by % Favorites.

Previously, Groundspeak has explained that calculating Favorite Point percentages for a large group of caches (like a search results list) has a heavy impact on database server performance. That's why you need to click on an individual cache's icon to see the percentage calculation.

Hey,

 

thank you. But actually this is the same. Here I also have to check every cache got get for example only caches with a quote >50%.

I would like to see it directly. So for example instead to sort the caches after the absolut number of favorites, sort it directly after the quote.

You can get that with Project-GC but you have to buy a membership. It currently is 9EUR/year

It works without membership.

Interesting. I thought for sure I hadn't seen that option until I got the membership. But now that I think about it, you are right. You just need to Authenticate. It was one of the features that made me decide to contribute to the site because I appreciated all it offers. One benefit of membership is I can get a gpx file of filtered favorites.
