I need a checker for GC3AMJJ (99 on 99 within 99 Challenge).

99 caches within 0.1 mile of Hwy 99 on any 99 mile stretch,

There has been a question on a similar challenge. The main problem is to create a polygon that follows the road. Or really two polygons that follows each side of the road to get a 0.1 mile messurement. I there will probably need a OK from the CO that that polygon is ok to use

There is no need of polygon, I can check directly the distance of every found cache from the polyline. So I'll get the road definition from OSM and I'll try to write the checker.

Sorry, it's impossible. The highway 99 is too long to be imported as polyline and checked in real time. There are also many variants between the new and old path of highway, both allowed by the challenge.
