Map Compare: Found by ONE SPECIFIC Team, but NOT by two or three other teams, possible?

Question

Sometimes a member of our group of cachers has no time to come with us. In this case we want to find caches, the absent Cacher already found, but not the other teams of our group. Because, in the future, we want to go to the caches we all, including the absent one, haven't found and we don't want to annoy him with finding Caches we all haven't found.

Answer 1

no answer but would also be interested in such feature.

Answer 2

I agree - add a filter in Map Compare to exclude caches found by a specific person (or group of people?) would be a nice feature.

In the meantime you can do this, but it takes a bit of work, and you need to be a paid member of PGC. It would help if you have a least a day or two notice of the person not being able to join in.

Use Map compare to look at the caches that the absent member has found, save them to a vGPS and export that to a csv and import them into a spreadsheet. Sort the list by GC code.

Use Map Compare to look at all the caches the rest of the team have not found, load that into another vGPS and export that as a csv, load it onto a spreadsheet. Then use something like vlookup to correlate caches in one list with the other. That will allow you to identify caches the rest of the team has not found that the absent member has found.

Take the resulting list and paste them into a new vGPS which will allow you to export as a gpx to load into your favourite GPS application/device or import back into GC as a list for use in the Geocaching app.

Good luck. If you need more detailed instructions on this please message me in geocaching.

Or just use map compare with the other teams on that first vGPS you created?

As in:

1. Use MapCompare to make a vGPS of all the caches that user A has found. Let's call it "User A's founds".

2. Use MapCompare for users B, C and D and use the filter "Virtual GPS" and select the vGPS "User A's founds".

3. With the option "None found" you would now have a map of all the caches that user A has found but users B, C and D has not found. Add these to a new vGPS to export in your preferred way.
