Download top loneliest caches state by state
Is there a simple way to download the list of the top lonely caches for a given state directly into GSAK ? I have in mind only the top 100, top 200, top 300 etc. and ignore any caches with LCPs below a given cutoff. This keeps the list confined only to the top 100 or top 200 etc.

Right now you get them all, well kinda. When you run the LonelyCache Import GSAK macro, it downloads all the LonelyCache data for each state in LonelyCache you have a cache in your database for. All those data are saved in the LonelyCache SqLite DB. So it's there, there just isn't a simple way for you to see it in GSAK.albuquerquebill wrote:Is there a simple way to download the list of the top lonely caches for a given state directly into GSAK ?

But now that I think about it, a cool macro would look into the LonelyCache DB and retrieve a list of the top 100 caches, then use the Geocaching.com API to retrieve/update them into a GSAK DB. Optimally, found caches could be excluded but that might be difficult to implement.
If someone wants to develop the macro, have at it! I know I've been super swamped at work and I'm getting a bit of a paunch so I really need to get out finding lonely caches instead of banging away in front of a computer.
Great idea!
