+mellow_cello Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 (edited) When attempting to fill in my D/T grid, I found myself wanting to "browse" through my grid and see how I had satisfied previous combinations. Like how and when did I get that 4/2??? So I wrote a windows program (sorry mac folks) that generates a CLICKABLE Difficulty/Terrain rating grid. Clicking on a square gives you a list of all caches found with that DT rating, (each with a link to its page, etc.). Click on the "Calendar" button for a clickable calendar as well. Click on day for a list of your finds on that date, through the years. At someone's suggestion, I added Jasmer as well. The program an installation instructions are here: https://github.com/mmendelson222/geocaching-fizzy. The software is free. After you click on the link (which should now work), scroll down for installation instructions and more. Finally, if anyone has suggestions for other ways to get the word out on this, let me know.

+Viajero Perdido Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Looks interesting. The link got "ellipsesed"; it doesn't work. Quote Link to comment

This link should work: https://github.com/mmendelson222/geocaching-fizzy If you want to play with changing the link to text, then you use the "url" function: Git Hub B.

+mellow_cello Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 Thanks folks. I have fixed the link. Any comments, suggestions on the software itself? Has anyone found it fun or useful? Quote Link to comment
+mellow_cello Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) Just wanted to point out that I have added a variety of additional features: Filter by year or cache type Click link in cache list to view web page Click link in cache list to see your log entries for that cache You'll see your geocaching data in a new way, guaranteed. Here's that link again Edited December 11, 2016 by snerdwing Quote Link to comment
+barefootguru Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Good one, but Project-GC already does that, and a lot more. Statistics > Profile > Profile stats: shows your D/T matrix and how it was obtained. Tools > Map based > Map DT matrix: shows how you can fill it in. http://project-gc.com/ Cheers Quote Link to comment
+kunarion Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) An error popped up "File is missing" at first. But the program ran fine on the 2nd attempt. Edited December 11, 2016 by kunarion Quote Link to comment
+mellow_cello Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 Thanks Kunarion, I fixed that issue and updated the code. Let me know if you see anything else. Quote Link to comment
+mellow_cello Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) barefootguru, thanks for trying out the program. But my app does a lot more than just the D/T matrix. There are 4 different ways to view your data (D/T, calendar, Jasmer and by co), and all of them can be filtered by type and the year found. What I like the best is that you can drill down, see the actual caches that make up each statistic, and see the actual logs for those finds! I have used project-gc a few times, but don't have a premium account. Maybe it can do all that. I'll have to dig a little deeper. The project-gc map is great - I have used that, but I don't plan to integrate maps (or any kind of live search) into this. Edited December 12, 2016 by snerdwing Quote Link to comment
