Alternative to Certitudes...


Recommended Posts

Approved coordinate check websites include Certitude, Evince, Geocheck.org and Geochecker.com. Not sure why you ran into that issue, based on the reference materials made available to reviewers. I hope you get it sorted.

 

Maybe, just maybe the reviewer of my cache is unaware of this rule?

 

All I know is I just spent three hours building a puzzle checker and uploading it to my webserver.

The Message from the first post implies that it is a "string" (maybe password) that is being checked and not just coordinates being verified. If that's the case, that may be the issue.

Requiring someone to use an external website to retrieve the correct coordinates it very different than validating that I deduced the correct coords from the puzzle...

I have posted twice in an effort to help you. I will try once more. Reviewers have been told that they SHOULD allow links to Certitude on cache pages. I do not see a need to contact the owner of Certitude. As of today, the "Geocaching Live!" API Partner logo still appears on the Certitude website.

I appreciate that and your help is great however you are not the reviewer of my cache, and this reviewer of my cache is telling me something that is diametrically opposite to what you are telling me (and that I told him). In fact he stated, and I quote:

 

"Thanks for your changes. You may well be right about about using Certitude, but unfortunately the reviewers have not been instructed to accept caches with a link to their site."

 

Now I do not know who has briefed this reviewer or why but if that is the case then I feel the owner of the Certitude site should be told of this decision, don't you think?

 

Of course the other spin on this is that the reviewer has made a mistake and doesn't feel able to say to me, "I'm sorry I got it wrong" and is instead making up some total twaddle about things.

 

What what you be really useful, is of course a clear statement from Groundspeak saying which puzzle checking / confirming sites one may or may not use but I'm not holding my breath for that one.
