+healing_beam Posted October 9, 2024 Posted October 9, 2024 Is there a way to search my finds by city that they are located in, or at least generate a list of finds that includes the city? I need to have found a cache in three states with the same city name for a challenge cache. Thanks! Quote

+healing_beam Posted October 9, 2024 Author Posted October 9, 2024 I can search just caches that I have found sorted by city name? How is this done, exactly? This particular challenge does not have a checker in ProjectGC. Quote

+healing_beam Posted October 9, 2024 Author Posted October 9, 2024 Is this on Geocaching.com, or ProjectGC? Quote

+healing_beam Posted October 9, 2024 Author Posted October 9, 2024 I was hoping to be able to sort my finds by city, rather than to have to pick a city at random that I know that I've found a cache in, and then see if there is a city by that name in any another state that I may have also found a cache in. Searching this way seems backwards and very inefficient. Quote
+JL_HSTRE Posted October 16, 2024 Posted October 16, 2024 Searching by city, at least in the USA, won't necessarily give you the results you expect. If the city is defined by ZIP code you will get results that are outside the city by any sense of the word except the post office. If the city is defined by municipal limits, many cities have very odd shapes or even unincorporated holes. Plus many communities aren't incorporated at all and thus have no formal limits. Quote
