Geocache Icon: Edited Mystery

neumpe shared this idea 11 years ago

It is possible to correct on geocaching.com website the header-coordinates from mystery-caches to the real final coordinates. When I import such edited coordinates, this caches have the right position on the map (final coordinates), but I don`t know if this are the corrected solved mysterys. Would it be possible to give solved edited mysterys an other icon?

Hello neumpe,


how are you importing coorected cache from geocaching.com web site into Locus? If you`re using GPX files or PocketQuery files, that this si something we discuss a few days ago on Locus forum. It`s not unfortunately possible. Seems that in GPX file are your new coordinates but without any clue, that they were changed by you so I cannot mark this cache as computed.

Yes I`m using PocketQuerries. OK, this could be a problem. But, when I use this Geocaching4Locus addon the Live Caches are on the header-coordinates (original) and not on the corrected one. Maybe Your GCofflinizer could compare all coordinates from the saved caches and when there is a difference, you could mark them as corrected.

Problem of Geocaching4Locus should be reported to this add-on developer (anyway it`s weird, because I was almost sure, it`s correctly working - btw. do you have enabled "Move to final waypoint" http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php/manu... ?)


Idea with offlinizer - GC Offlinizer seems not to be best name for this tool. It`s main and only purpose is to download images that are missing in cache description. It do not download any cache information except images! So this is not possible.


Because GPX files are still widely used, I hope that GroundSpeak will improve it`s content to some missing (like this) information

The Geocaching4Locus addon works, but I have to select a Live Cache to actualize them and then I see them on the corrected coordinates. But it would be nice to see them without selecting them first.
