Can't find something

Post by MtnLioness » 10 December 11 3:16 pm

While searching for the list of state and national find counts I found the Toolbox which has some cool devices to use and I shall at some point now I know they're there...

But does anyone know where that giant list is of a state or national leaderboard?

They grab the data from GC so get all the find counts by cacher. They only hold a total count and what they do it go to a set number of caches around the world, grab all the logs and parse out the total find count.

e.g. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_de ... wp=gc2agjn
maccamob, count 12371

We count by logs collected by the system so if a cacher has not imported their finds, we can't count them.
That means we will always be incorrect, especially for cachers who cache overseas and have not imported their finds.

So while we can, it will not be as accurate.

Craigrat, have your frogs (above) been fighting? They have all turned their backs on each other, and they aren't talking.

Assuming the coords are correct, it sounds very tempting to have a look for tomorrow. On the way to some frogging up near Dural!
