Hi,

 

Forgive if this has been covered but I haven't found anything - am I alone in thinking it would be great to have a DNF button that would start to mark those caches with another color so you could come back to them more easily or plan a route of them to clean up your map some?

 

Love to hear your thoughts - or if I am missing something.

Suggested many times before. I don't know if they will ever implement that feature.

 

Another way to think of it -- a DNF indicates that you didn't find it, so it remains simply as a Not Found cache. By that token, there really is nothing to change.

I find an easier solution is to add my DNF;s to the Ignore list. There are to many caches around to worry about going back unless it was something special.

 

Oh, my take on that is very different. Perhaps I'm OCD but I can't stand DNFs and will visit multiple times until I make the find; film canister or not!

DNFs to me are just caches I haven't found, just like any I've never looked for. When I need to clean up my map, the DNFs don't stand out to me as different than anything else I still need to find.

 

I admit that a few thousand finds ago, I thought DNFs were special, too, but after a few more finds, they don't stand out to me anymore. Beside, I typically know which ones I've failed at before: I don't need a special icon to rub it in every time I look at the map.

Thanks for the replies folks,

 

Yeah, I gather you can just leave them open as yet to be found, but like some of you, the OCD part of me wants to bag them mofos! Just being able to flip a color assignment to DNF(RED), Targets you want to highlight say on a mission of going out (PINK or whatever), almost like a playlist... I love clearing out small patches at once or trying to remember stuff I need to come back at in the day or after snow...
