+OldTimeAFK Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 This may have already been discussed. But I would like to recommend blue frowny faces (did not find) to the maps in future updates to your website and app. Looking at a decent size city map, I'd then see the ones I found, the ones I didn't find and the ones left to be searched for. Of course, if I go back and find one I didn't find before, the website would change it from a blue frowny face to the yellow smiley! Just my two cents. Quote Link to comment
+T.D.M.22 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 You mean you want a cache you logged a DNF on to show. Otherwise every cache except the ones you have found would be like that. And yes it's been suggested many times. Quote Link to comment

+Pontiac_CZ Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 But wouldn't you still want to know from a quick glimpse on the map whether these are traditional, multi or unknown caches? Quote Link to comment
+ecanderson Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I'd rather have some sort of indication for DNF than cache type, though changing the standard icons to blue ones would also get the point across in both senses. I track my DNF watch list in a separate GSAK database, and show different icons for them when I use Mapsource or Basecamp to route a map for a caching day. Quote Link to comment
+Walts Hunting Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Given how many caches their are now I just send the uninteresting DNFs (which most are) to the ignore list. Their are way more caches around that I will ever get to so why bother to go back unless there is a reason. Quote Link to comment
+OldTimeAFK Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 But wouldn't you still want to know from a quick glimpse on the map whether these are traditional, multi or unknown caches? No, it really wouldn't matter what type of cache it is. If I ever decide to go back, I'd point and click on it to get the details. Also, blue frowny would jog my memory and I could go back and see if someone after me found it...letting me know "I just missed it!" Quote Link to comment

My proposal is to leave the cache type icon the same, but change the background square to a different colour, red, blue, whatever. That way, you still see the cache type but also have the visual cue you have registered a DNF against it. Quote Link to comment
+ctoomey Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I'd like to see this feature too -- DNFs indicated with special icons on the map. Seems like it'd pretty trivial to do, so any particular reason it hasn't been implemented? thx, Chris Quote Link to comment
