philip_m_jones Dec 2022 6:06pm, 14 Dec 2022 305 posts	Quote Pin philip_m_jones I am trying to maintain my grid (which is size 6, so is a 13x13 square, 169 squares). I often run outside that grid so have squares that I have a bigger lawn (215 at the moment) but I am happy to let that lawn grow and shrink over time. The map allows me to see squares that are close to expiry but I can't easily tell if they are squares in my grid (get out and revisit them ASAP) or just general squares elsewhere (picked up on a holiday etc). I wondered if the numbering of the squares followed a grid and then I could easily filter but they don't follow any logical pattern. Any ideas, comments?

Windsor Wool Dec 2022 9:10am, 23 Dec 2022 5,664 posts	Quote Pin Windsor Wool go in to the square that you would like to be your home and then look for the option to 'set as home'. It's just below the name of the square.
Cerrertonia Dec 2022 9:10am, 23 Dec 2022 18,126 posts	Quote Pin Cerrertonia On the map, click on the square you want to set as your home. That brings up the page for that square. The yellow text above the map square has options like 'rename' and so on. One of those lets you set the square as home.

I think the conquercise zones do follow a logical pattern (latitude and longitude I think). There would be a way to programmatically (or maybe even in a spreadsheet) go through all the ‘close to expiry’ ones and see if they are in your grid (or even how far from your home zone).
philip_m_jones Dec 2022 11:19am, 24 Dec 2022 306 posts	Quote Pin philip_m_jones JCB I hoped they would follow a pattern but this is a series of squares going west to east. Starts OK and looks sensible but then the pattern goes. fetcheveryone.com/game-conq-zone.php?id=75351 fetcheveryone.com/game-conq-zone.php?id=75352 fetcheveryone.com/game-conq-zone.php?id=75353 fetcheveryone.com/game-conq-zone.php?id=973871 fetcheveryone.com/game-conq-zone.php?id=977894 fetcheveryone.com/game-conq-zone.php?id=970610
um Dec 2022 11:52am, 24 Dec 2022 6,821 posts	Quote Pin um I suspect the squares are numbered in the order they were first accessed - whether by activity or by a map view? So (for example) the middle of the Atlantic is largely unnumbered unless you actually look at a zone, when it gets the next number. It means that some zones are sequential, as a runner/cyclist accesses & load them, but others are 'random'. And large sectors of the world are unnumbered. * I could be wrong - just reporting what I see and extrapolating a bit. *
