distinguish between placed, found and unfound caches on the map page

Cache Hunt

In my area there are relatively few terracaches and I have placed many of them.  It would be helpful if there was a visible difference on the map page to distinguish them.  Perhaps the easiest way would be a way to change the symbol color or shape to show "found, unfound and yours".  It wouldn't need to be automatic if you could do a "change and save".  Admittedly I have no idea how technically complicated this would be but I seem to be able to set it up in MapSource and Base Camp pretty easily.

    Hi dexter,

    This is a great idea. We are just starting work on the Owned/Found module.  The next module on our list is the Cach Hunt.  We will incorporate this into ideas, would love to hear other members opinions.

    Yes please on the shading or something. Some of us like to be able to tell "hey, i set those but not those" all at once on one map.

    I really appreciate the quick updates to the site you guys have been doing.

    Thanks for fixing the Hunt map to default to unfound caches.  I just discovered 2 new unfound caches in the Ajo area because of this fix.

    Another approach to this would be to do something like TC1 did. Remember the maps on the old site had a dropdown menu that let you decide to display any combination of found/owned/unfound caches and any combination of physical/virtual/offset/puzzle/etc. varieties. So you could search for just found virtuals, or all unfound physical and offset caches, etc. To me that maximizes the flexibility.
