Display filter for Geocaches

bongo shared this idea 12 years ago

The filtering option for geocaches, based on cache type, which has been implemented in the latest locus release works quite well for managing waypoints, but requires for lots of clicks to just filter the loaded waypoints for getting a better overview.


i would prefer to get the option below (maybe as an add-on to the existing filtering) as an easy accessible (from main screen) display filter option:


- a select box for each cachetype, which can enable/disable display of each cache type


- an additional select box for waypoints, not matching any cachetype


- a "forced enable" box for caches with corrected coords (has priority over cache type filter)


- a forced disable box for disabled and archived caches, which has priority over the options above


- a forced enable/disable for "my own" caches, which has priority over the options above


this would make it much easier to only get the things i actually need to see on the display!


these options should be static, i.e. when i read new caches from gsak, these options persist and i do not have to filter them again, as with the actual implementation.

Well, maybe all of the original suggestion is OK? And maybe I`m off-topic, because I need the sorting/filtering for the cache list display.


Today I needed the option to find the closest multi-caches. The goecache list only allows sorting by name, size, distance, difficulty and terrain.


The most important property of the cache is its TYPE (traditional, multi, mystery, event, etc...)


And there should be some combinations possible. Like traditional caches, diff <=3.

I think, this idea is already implemented in latest locus versions. Filter was dramatically improved so it should cover all possible filter requests .. enjoy
