Hi,

new tip for android app - add option in filters -> geocache types -> mystery/multi , check button "show map only solved"

Absolutely agree, this is very practical idea, needed by anyone who solved some mystery caches at home and gone out for the cache hunt, at least once.

Found and not found? Maybe a filter like the new search map where you can check the box "corrected coordinates".

[+noncentric 810]

Caches with solved coordinates do appear differently in the app, and website, than caches without solved coordinates.  If a cache has solved coords, then the icon is a puzzle piece.  It may not be a search filter, but it is still a visible indicator that makes it clear whether there are solved coords or not.

• If you see a question mark icon or an orange multi icon, then you'll know that the icon is at the cache's posted coords - and does not have solved coords entered.
• If you see a puzzle piece icon, then you'll know that you've entered solved coordinates for that cache.

Geooh Live will let you filter by cache icon on the map to show only caches with corrected coordinates that have the puzzle piece icon.

I would love that the main app have a icon for DNF directly on the map.

When you say "main app" then do you mean the Official Geocaching App from GS?  The official app does show caches previously logged as DNF with a blue frowney face.  Are you looking for something else?

Sorry it wasn't clear enough.

 

Geooh live has an icon that show if the previous geocacher logged a DNF. The icon is the second one in the picture under the multi icon.

 

It would be nice if the official map had it so we could quickly know just by looking at the map if an area have harder to find/missing cache.

Yes, Geooh Live filters is OK. I need this filters for official app... Geooh Live will stop working May 1st -> http://geooh.com/messages/Geooh_Live_EOL.pdf

Is there any way to save the filter when I've done "search this area", have unticked some of the cache types and have lowered the D/T levels? 

 

If I scroll to another area, I have to set the filters up again. I'm using the official Android App.

...filter for "museum items" is add, but filter for solved mystery/multi no 😢

Hi.
Has a year passed, any shift/progress?
I am sorry that the official application does not have such a filter and the user is forced to use other applications.

Hello. I think, that official Geocaching app from GS is for beginners. Is just good messaging application for me. And I use it sometimes to log geocaches, when I don't want use a computer. That's all.

i need view ONLY PUZZLE icon(solved) - If I open a map of a big city(500caches...), I only need to see it solved caches -> The map is clearer(is legible).

Yup, this is a very good idea. This could be really useful.

It's been 2 years and no progress. Isn't anyone missing such a filter yet?

I only load mystery/puzzle caches from my "solved unfound puzzles" list. There's no need to filter once they're on my device.
