    bdouel got a reaction from Nic Hubbard in Cache Ranking / Grid Filler   
    I like to identify caches which fill missing grids or criteria so that I can optimise going after a single cache which fulfils multiple grids. Currently I use GSAK to do this and I score and rank caches so that the highest scoring ones are the most desirable e.g a cache can score a point for the following
    1) cache name starts with an alphanumeric character which I have not found
    2) CO name starts with an alphanumeric name I have not found
    3) Fizzy - cache fills a DT rating I don’t have In my curent loop
    4) Jasmer - cache fills a month in my current Jasmer loop
    5) Old Cache - If the cache is placed more than 20 years ago
    6) Type - Wherigo, Virtual and Webcam (or whatever im feeling like)
    7) Favourite- 100 or more favourite points (or whatever I’m feeling like)
    8) Attributes - one point for each positive or negative attribute I have not found
    9) Placed Date - for a day of the month I haven’t found in the current loop
    Of course this has some complexity but a cache can score a number of points (I think 5 is the best I’ve seen) and If I’m pressed for time (most of the time) I’ll target the highest scoring caches and I know that they are either interesting in some way or at least helping me fill grids.
    I think at least it would be nice to search for Fizzy and Jazmer grid fillers based on current or configured loop 
    A really useful feature in Cachly is that I highlight the caches in an offline list exported from GSAK with a different colour representing their score (which I write as a user note in the GPX) this method works well but is quickly out of date once I’ve found a few caches which might in turn lower the ranking score as I now have that DT rating I need for example
    The feature I can imagine is essentially similar to the filters you can build up on an offline list but with a weight / score added and then an overall filter to only show caches with X score or greater

    bdouel reacted to CanUSeeIT in Include TB dips in Templates   
    I have a number of trackables items I carry with me, and would love to be able to set these up as part of a Template, so when I log a find I don’t have to also select each TB I want to dip. Obviously this wouldn’t apply to Drops. This would save a LOT of time on Big Logging Days.

    Yes, filters based on dates will be coming soon.

    bdouel reacted to Nic Hubbard in GSAK Import   
    Regardless of what another app might do, this isn't something that we have planned for Cachly. As @Team DEMP mentioned using GPX is the best way to move caches.

    bdouel reacted to CanUSeeIT in Show distant caches' waypoints on the map   
    I've always wanted to be able to see the waypoints that belong to another (possibly distant) cache on the map, when I'm looking at the area the waypoint is in, not just when I'm looking at that cache.
    Here's an example. There's a cache in my area that has it's published coordinates "downtown", but it has published waypoints scattered all over the county, many miles apart. Last weekend I was caching in a park that had one of the waypoints, but of course I couldn't see it. I missed a TCO (Tree Climbing Opportunity).
    Ultimately, I'd like to be able to say to the map "show me all the geocaching stuff in this park, caches and waypoints". Of course, this should include published waypoints as well as "user waypoints" I've added (while working on a large multi, for example)
    I realize this would take a lot of churning through data to achieve, so I was thinking there could be a list I could designate as one that would include the "distant caches" I'd always want to see in this view.  
    This feature would make my geocaching life complete.
