+yxza Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Hello, the display of solved mysts with corrected coordinates was of my main wishes. It finally popped up and is was a great achievement. When logged the mysts went back to their published place thus recreating any geoart e.g. But I would like to see another improvement - a button that shows all logged mysts at their corrected coordinates again. Great thing for finding "holes" where you may hide your own caches. Maybe their may be other uses as well but this is something from my point of view would further enhance the cachemap.

This would also be useful when navigating back to a mystery/puzzle cache that you've previously found. Quote Link to comment

I would like this as well for when I want to drop off a TB that has goals in that area or type of cache, though doesn't the website (and app) keep any new coordinates you've placed in as waypoints? I might be remembering wrong. I always put in the waypoints anyway for later. Quote Link to comment
+noncentric Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Yep, the puzzle piece icon was added almost a year ago and described in the June 29th Release Notes thread. Currently, there's no method to have the website map show the found cache at the corrected coords. I've mentioned before that I'd like to see a toggle feature: ON = any cache with corrected coords show at corrected locations (with puzzle icon) - caches without corrected coords show at posted coords OFF = all caches [with or without corrected coords] show at their posted coords, with standard cache icons One option you could try is to use GPS Visualizer. This doesn't require downloading/installing any programs, like GSAK, and is processes pretty quickly. Run a My Finds PQ (requires Premium Membership) Download the resulting .zip file Upload that .zip file in the "upload your GPS data files here" section on the right-hand side of the GPS Visualizer page Click the "Draw the map" button This will open a map with open treasure chest icons representing your found caches. Caches with corrected coordinates will show at the corrected location. You can change the map layer by using the drop-down window at the upper right of the map. There are some other options too. FYI: The page allows uploading multiple files (both as .zip and .gpx), so can be handy for mapping other PQ's too. Treasure chest icons on the map show as closed for unfound and open for found.
