The first change adjusts how many webcam and virtual caches you need to find to qualify for a GeoAchievement badge. Webcams are increasingly scarce as new webcam caches aren't allowed and old ones break down. You'll now be rewarded a Webcam GeoAchievement Badge for the following accomplishments:
- 1-Star - Awarded to cachers who have found at least 1 webcam cache.
- 2-Star - Awarded to cachers who have found at least 3 webcam caches.
- 3-Star - Awarded to cachers who have found at least 7 webcam caches.
- 4-Star - Awarded to cachers who have found at least 15 webcam caches.
- 5-Star - Awarded to cachers who have found at least 25 webcam caches.
The virtual badge requirements have also changed so they are more in line with the number of virtuals available. The new requirements are as follows:
- 1-Star - Awarded to cachers who have found at least 10 virtual caches.
- 2-Star - Awarded to cachers who have found at least 25 virtual caches.
- 3-Star - Awarded to cachers who have found at least 75 virtual caches.
- 4-Star - Awarded to cachers who have found at least 125 virtual caches.
- 5-Star - Awarded to cachers who have found at least 250 virtual caches.
The second change involves some aesthetic fine-tuning to the My Caching Chronology section. Some font and positioning changes have been made to ensure that cachers with REALLY large find counts still have legible stats and charts. The biggest change affects the My Finds By Day of Year chart which has been rotated so that the months go across the top of the table and the days are listed down the side. This rotation helps us fit more information into the table while still keeping it narrow enough to show up nicely on the geocaching.com profile page. Hopefully it makes the table easier to read. Expect more fine-tuning to other sections in the near future.
