GSAK Finds vs GC.Com Finds - Reconcilliation

[+CacheGuardian]

Hello.

 

When I look at the number of finds in GSAK and compare them with the number of finds on geocaching.com, they are different. The number of finds on GSAK says for example (100 Finds, 94 unique), and looking through the GSAK and geocaching.com finds, I do not see any duplicates finds.

 

Can someone help me with this?

 

thx

 

Cache On!!!

Yup. In GSAK, with your My Finds PQ loaded, to to the Filters dialog, "Other" tab. Near the bottom, see teh My Found Count dropdown and change it to Greater Than or Equal to 2. Click the Go button, and any cache that you have logged more than once will be listed.

In GSAK - did oyu get a brand new "my finds" PQ??

To determine which caches have more than one "found it" log, go to Search>Filter and click on the "Other" tab. Then change Found Count to "Greater than or equal to" "2" and click on "Go":

And to finish the reconciliation, you need to go to take four steps:

 

1. geocaching.com and delete the duplicate log so only one FIND remains.

2. Download the GPX file for each cache

3. Go into GSAK and delete each waypoint that has duplicate finds

4. Import the GPX files you just downloaded.

 

Rejoice in having accurate counts that agree with each other

My previous method of dealing with this was only temporary... I had the same problem every time I reloaded my "myfinds". And I didn't like the above solution because I had notes and corrected coordinates that I didn't want to delete.

 

Here's what I finally figured out.....

 

Deleting a 'found' log from geocaching.com doesn't delete it from GSAK.

 

To do that you have to delete the waypoint or use "waypoint->delete log...".

 

Once I deleted the incorrect 'found' log everything worked properly again.
