360 Degree Challenge

[+GrateBear]

GSAK has a 360DegreeChallenge macro.  When I run it, using my "found" database, it shows that I'm missing 5 degree sectors.  But, when I run it using my "not found" database, the caches it shows for those 5 sectors are all ones that I have found.  2 are still active, 3 have been archived, and are in my "found" database.  Any idea why they don't show up when I run the macro?

Thanks.

Kai is still very active there, and is the author of that macro.

Also, note this in the macro discussion.  May or may not have a bearing on your issue:

 

NOTE: Due to the fact that GSAK rounds when calculating a bearing, the "degrees" shown in GSAK for caches in the filter after the macro finishes may not match the degrees shown as missing in the HTML report in all cases. For example, if you have finds at 34,35 and 37 degrees, but not at 36 degrees, caches at exactly 37.0 degrees may be shown in the filter of caches you need to find. Trust me, the caches shown at 37.0 degrees are really at 36 degrees and some fraction (e.g. 36.99999 degrees) and will qualify for the challenge - it's just that GSAK is rounding up in the display.

Pun intended?

Thanks--I should have thought of that!

Nope--he didn't know why.

Did he suggest, or did you offer, to supply zipped up copies of the two databases for him to look at?  Would have thought he'd have taken an interest, though I suspect he's busier than before with Clyde mostly out of the loop.

If you're a premium member on Project gc you could cq the result there as they also have a (beta) 360 degrees tool
