How do you do a search for caches with most favourite points?

Do a search then click the blue favourite icon at the top of the column. A few of yours rank highly in the country but im determined to catch/beat you :D

Thanks for the info, I wanted to try and do a few more high favourite point caches to see what others like about them. I have an idea for another cache or small series that I don’t think has been done yet, just doing the research. ;D

afaik you don't select country when producing a cache therefore it's impossible, even if you were to scrape the site somehow, if the information is not there you cannot scrutinise it by this criteria.

I'm trying to polish off all the Leicestershire caches

You'll be lucky. Every time I cleared an area (not even a county) there were more caches within a week or so.
If at first you do succeed - try not to look too surprised

Just a thought. Could you run a series of PQ's to cover Leicestershire and surrounding areas, import into GSAK using the 'S' option at the bottom of the import screen; then sort them in GSAK ???

LOL second time I've seen that today!

Maybe Gsak can use the coordinates to pull county information from Google maps API?
 Just a thought.

I dont get why you can not just look at the map? or are you on a real gps as opposed to a smart phone?

In fact if you display them in Locus you will even see the county line so that should make doing the edges that much easier.
