New MGP Features!

As Groundspeak works on migrating statistics over to geocaching.com, we'll still be releasing some new features here on mygeocachingprofile.com. Some of these will eventually be moved to geocaching.com as well!

The latest additions include the following:
  • A new Miscellaneous Statistics section that shows the average length of your "Found it" logs.

  • An updated UK/Ireland Counties Map that separates the map from the list of counties. This is helpful if you'd just like to display one or the other. If you include this section in your profile, make sure to do a fresh copy/paste of your profile HTML over to geocaching.com or wherever else you display your profile.

  • A new option in the Memorable Finds section that lets you just show your total FTF count instead of the entire list of FTFs.

  • A new option in the Well Rounded Cacher Challenge feature that lets you specify that caches are only valid if they were found after a specific date. Some WRC challenges ask that you only count caches that were found after you officially begin the challenge!

New Profile Features - Jasmer Challenge and Excluding Caches from Location-Based Stats

As Groundspeak works on migrating statistics over to geocaching.com, we'll still be releasing some new features here on mygeocachingprofile.com. Some of these will eventually be moved to geocaching.com as well!

Our latest additions include a new profile section showing your progress towards the Jasmer Challenge. The Jasmer Challenge asks cachers to find caches that were placed in each month since geocaching began in May 2000. The new grid will help you visualize your progress on this goal. Also, the General Settings section now lets you specify caches that should not count towards your location-based statistics. So if you logged an armchair cache (like Germany's "Four Windows") you can add it here and it won't skew your distance statistics and maps.

As with all new profile sections, you'll need to 1) upload your "My Finds" pocket query to generate the profile images and 2) re-export your HTML code and re-paste it into your geocaching.com profile if you'd like to show off your stats.
