I have read the procedure Project-GC uses to auto check the challenges nearby your home address in this topic: Auto-challenge-checkers

Now am I planning a trip to Sweden and I was wondering if it possible to let project-GC check if you fulfill challenges in a particular region? It is mentioned as a future topic, but I understand it is hard to complete all wishes at the same time to this site.

Thank you for your help,

Greetings GonzAlex

Map of challenge caches is a tool for user's with a paid membership that shows challenge caches on a map.

Thank you, I know the tooll and it is quite handy to see if some challenges are nearby our planned route.
But somethimes, you see a lot of challenges and depending on our route, we have to choose which challenges we can complete and which we can skip (because we will not fulfill the requirements anyway). Checking a lot of challenges by hand takes quite a time to do so.
Nearby my home, most of the checkers indicate if I fulfill the challenge (by green or red marks). And I was wondering if it is possible to do this for other countries or counties.

Will it help if you change your home location for while, until the tool runs? And what is the approximate time the date will be refreshed? It will take a long time, I suppose, because there are a lot of challenges and users.

No, there's no tool for what you're describing. The solution would be to change your home coordinates to whatever area you plan to travel too. However, you should check that the checkers hasn't been run already first. The auto-challenge-checkers run in the hundreds each month so you have likely covered a larger area than you think. There also was some recent work to increase the amount of auto-challenge-checkers run per user each day.
