+gof1949 Posted June 6, 2019 Author Share Posted June 6, 2019 Thanks for the suggestion but I couldn't get Map Compare on that site to do much. Quote Link to comment
+noncentric Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 You can easily search for caches that another cacher has NOT found using the Advanced Search function, by selecting their username in the "Not Found By" section. You can then Map the resulting caches. This function allows cachers to plan outings and search for caches that neither/none have already found. The Project-GC Map Compare feature should also work and allow you to search for caches that neither/one/both have found. Can you elaborate on what you mean when you say it doesn't "do much"? Perhaps you are just using the wrong selection boxes. Quote Link to comment

+gof1949 Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) Trying to use Map Compare on Project-GC. I can put the info in but there is no icon to do the search! Is it for paying members only? Edited June 7, 2019 by gof1949 Quote Link to comment

I think it can sometimes end up hidden underneath an advert, so you may need to play with browser window width. Edited June 7, 2019 by Blue Square Thing Quote Link to comment
+gof1949 Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 Oh yeah. That button doesn't show up on mine so I will try what you suggested. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
+gof1949 Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 That worked. Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment
