Cacher statistics

This page contains information specific to Geocaching Australia.

The website also provides statistics for individual cachers. This can be reached by selecting the "Statistics" link on the cacher page, or by direct link, for example http://geocaching.com.au/cacher/statistics/pickupfamily

Cachers:

These stats are for cachers in the country / state you select.
The cacher is slotted into a particular country / state based on either:
a. Their selected state preference in their My Settings.
b. If they do not have a state preference set, based on the country / state in which they have found the most caches.
Go to the Cachers tab (top navigation bar) then select Stats.
Choose the source (All sources or Geocaching Australia only), choose the country and where applicable, the state.
Choose the graph to view.
The graph names are a little esoteric and its difficult to identify the entire function in a relatively short name, but if you scroll through them slowly you should be able to identify a pattern.
The majority of the graphs are "Top 50 Cachers" style graphs.
Example:
http://geocaching.com.au/stats/cachers/all/au/sa/0030_cachers_by_finds
Select All sources, Australia, South Australia, Cachers by finds.
Graphs are only generated once per day, the first time the graph is called for the day. This is a performance requirement as some of the graph details are very onerous on the database to extract.

These stats are for an individual cacher.
There is a secondary subtab which appears on the cacher page.
You can choose from Details, Statistics, Cachers, Gallery, Plots, Graphs, Banner, Blog.
Selecting Graphs as an example will bring you to a new page where you can select the graph to view.
Example:
http://geocaching.com.au/cacher/caughtatwork/graphs/0020_finds
Select Finds.
Graphs are regenerated in realtime and are not cached, so whenever you see a graph you will always have the most up to data ta based on what is in the GCA database.
Feel free to check out the subtabs for the other areas to see what sort of statistics exist for those areas.
