Puzzle cache symbols

[+Brophyzio]

Does anyone else feel it would be a good idea if solved, but not found puzzle caches changed the colour of the question mark on them. Sick of having to hunt through caches to find the ones that still need to be solved. Or is there an easier way I am unaware of? Thanks

Several answers possible.

When solving a mystery, add it to a list, you can then create a PQ from that list.

Use software like GSAK (windows)where you can filter for corrected coordinates. I color solved mysteries green if the cache is at the corrected coordinates and yellow if at the corrected coordinates more actions are required. I can then filter for "green", "yellow" or "yellow + green" caches. I also add notes on how mysteries were solved.

It's been suggested many times before but nothing's been done to implement it.

 

What you can do is:

 

Each time you solve a puzzle make sure you correct the co-ords on the cache page (click the pencil icon beside the co-ords).

 

Then you can use to new search function to search for unknown caches with corrected co-ords, which will select all the ones you've already solved, then click the map this link on the search results and it will map all the solved puzzles in their corrected locations.

 

You can use the same search but select without corrected co-ords and it will list all the puzzles you haven't solved yet.

Once you've input the corrected coordinates in the cache page, add that cache to the bookmark list that you've created for "solved but not found" puzzle caches.

 

You will be able to run a pq of that bookmark list.

In the new search, filter for only Mysteries, and select "No" for "Has Corrected Coordinates". Save that URL.

 

In the search list, even without any special filters, Mysteries with changed coords have a puzzle-piece icon.

GCs map and iPhone app map don't distinguish solved (corrected coords) vs unsolved in the icon they display. You can't, as far as I know, bring up a GC.com map that shows all caches (eg Traditional, multi, etc) you haven't found which can also identify the solved puzzles (corrected coords) vs the unsolved ones.

 

Some other solutions/apps do display different icons for puzzles, etc that are solved aka have corrected coords.

I have never used any other That (And) option than "I haven't found" plus "Is enabled". Why would I make PQ for the other ones? But I extremely miss the option "I have solved" for mystery caches. I DO NOT WANT TO USE GSAK or any other tool outside the GC page to get such simple query answer. I would also appreciate to have a different color for Corrected coordinates of solved mystery caches in the map if I look what to solve in my AOI.

 

As I watch the discussions regarding this issue, does anybody from GC staff read these posts? Is there any chance to get such simple improvement?
