\nIn the tools section of Project-GC you\u2019ll find a section called \u201cChallenge Checkers\u201d. This section of the website has thousands of challenge checkers for different community-created geocaching challenges from all over the world. You can browse through the checkers and see which challenges you\u2019re close to completing.<\/p>\n
\nThe profile stats on Project-GC answer just about every question you could have regarding your geocaching history and achievements. In this section of Project-GC you can see everything from the cache with the highest elevation you\u2019ve found to how many different difficulty and terrain combinations you\u2019ve completed. Plus, Project-GC provides an HTML code for the statistics display, which you can copy and paste into your profile on Geocaching.com!<\/p>\n
\nGeocaching is famously a game about giving, that is, giving life to new geocaches and giving Favorite points, so it only makes sense that Project-GC came up with a way to measure your geocaching karma. Your karma score equals the number of logs you\u2019ve received on your caches divided by the number of caches you\u2019ve logged. You can see your karma score in your Project-GC statbar<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nProject-GC also offers rich statistics on geocaches. On their site you can see which geocaches have the most logs<\/a> or which have the highest percentage of Favorite points<\/a>, and you can search for \u201clonely caches<\/a>\u201d that haven\u2019t been logged recently or search for regions in the world that have a high concentration of Favorite points<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nFor geocachers who are into trackables, it can often be a fair amount of work to post all your \u201cDiscovered\u201d logs after seeing a bunch of cool trackables at an Event. Project-GC makes that work much easier. With their \u201cDiscover trackables\u201d tool, you can log up to 500 trackable codes at once.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Enhance your geocaching with API Partner Project-GC<\/a><\/blockquote>
