Okay, GPX is asking too much, but how about creating or adding to a Bookmark list? I know there's an API interface for that. One could then create a Pocket Query based on that bookmark list and download a GPX. LonelyCache just pushes the bookmark list and leaves the hard work of compiling and delivering a GPX to Groundspeak. Just a thought....

The ability to add/remove caches from a bookmark list something we're hoping to add. Along with that is the ability to add and remove caches from your Ignore list and perhaps your watch list too. When describing the udpates for this release I did write:

) or if there is a catch that prevents caches from showing that are less than 1 mile away.
The cache should be included in the list. Would you pm me with your home coordinates, your user name, and the cache in question and I'll investigate why it isn't showing up.
One note, for caches less than a mile away, 1 is used for the divisor, not the actual distance. Basically, if dist < 1 mile, use nfCPs otherwise use nfCPs / dist. It didn't make a lot of sense to inflate the Pts/mile for caches very close and it was a nice way to avoid the divide by zero error for a cache at the same location.
I should have mentioned this in the release notes, but Premium Member Only caches will only show up on a Premium Member's Most Wanted list. The release notes have been edited to reflect this.

Now that you mention it, I don't see any Premium Member Only caches on my list (including the one that caught my attention), but I am a Premium Member so they should be there. Anyone else not seeing or seeing Premium caches?

I figured out the problem. Basically things are backwards in that Premium Member Only caches are excluded for Premium members and included for Basic members

.
I hope to update the site later today with fixes for this and some other issues introduced with this release.
My sincere apologies,
Russell

I have updated the site with fixes for some of the issues with this release:
- Retrieving Geocaching.com profile information is no longer dependent on logging in with the exact user name as on Geocaching.com. That is, it is no longer case sensitive, nor is having leading and trailing space an issue.
- Corrected the problem where Premium Member Only caches were being excluded from Premium members and included for Basic members.
- When you update your profile to update your recent finds, a job to do that will be initiated immediately instead of having to wait for the next user session to occur.

For some reason, the stats update didn't complete this morning. That's why.
Merry Christmas.
