rragan Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 The FTF tag is placed on a cache based on it not being logged yet. It would be handy to flag Challenge caches in some way visually based on it being a Mystery/Puzzle type and having "challenge" in the name.

0 ChrisDen Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Lots of caches with challenge in the name without being a challenge cache. Project GC have developed an algorithm that gets rid of most of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 rragan Posted April 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 It's not an algorithm so much as a user-curated DB of the false ones plus ones that are Challenges but lack the word in the name. Still icon type plus word would produce relatively few positives. I know I can do a filter but then I can't see other ones of interest along my route. Multiple color highlights plus multiple lists viewable at once would take care of this need for me in Map View. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Nic Hubbard Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 I am not quite sure what the best solution is here since it sounds like labeling them as challenge caches might sometimes incorrectly tag them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 rragan Posted April 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 As it stands, you have to filter them on "challenge" in the title possibly picking up false positives. Then highlight the filtered results and return to Map View where you can now see them in context with your route planning. Of course, if you were using highlighting for some other purpose, you will now be uncertain. There is no definitive way to know short of looking at the listing but well into the high 90% mystery with challenge in the title are really challenges and I don't think reviewers will let a new mystery publish that has challenge in the title and is not a Challenge cache. An FTF marker may sometimes lie to if the finder has not yet logged it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 rragan Posted April 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 You would think they would want to keep it clean but if it is a Trad my filter on Mystery type would eliminate it anyway so no big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FTF tag is placed on a cache based on it not being logged yet. It would be handy to flag Challenge caches in some way visually based on it being a Mystery/Puzzle type and having "challenge" in the name.
