philip_m_jones Dec 2022 6:06pm, 14 Dec 2022 305 posts	0 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?

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	0 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	0 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. *
