Displaying nfCPs

Post by Corfman Clan »

With the last update, links to bring up a page showing nearby caches was added to the Geocache page. On the nearby list, both the current cache points (cCP) and next find cache points (nfCP) are shown:
Nearby Cache List

The red arrows point to the nfCP. If the cCP and nfCP will be displayed the same, then only the cCP is added (The red X in the picture)

So what are your feelings with showing the nfCPs along with the cCP? So far, this is the only list that shows nfCP. Will it be worthwhile to add the nfCP to other lists? Which ones?

I like showing both. I also did not realize that was the only list that had them, but think they should be added to other lists ... Just have to do more playing around to see which ones.

Agree. Very useful to see both. Seeing both numbers give you and intuitive view of the cache. A little quick mental math gives you Achilles points. A small difference between the two values means the cache has been found quite a bit, a large difference means fewer total finders. If the programming isn't intensive, would be a useful display on similar lists. This project keeps getting better and better.

The only place I don't care about seeing the nfCPs is on listings of caches I've already found -- otherwise, it is the nfCP value that I look at when prioritising caches for hunting. Which is a long-winded way of saying put 'em everywhere (subject to overhead) :lol:
