For some confluences, the latest succesful visit isn the one that is featured, why ?

0

As an example, take a look at 54N 123W: There are 3 successful visits: #1: 11-May-2002 #2: 10-May-2002 #3: 12-Aug-2003 First, the reason that the “first” visit(#1) has a later date than the “second” visit is that the visit number is determined by the order visits are submitted to our site. The visit number is not used to determine the ‘most recent’ visit, or for anything other than to distinguish one visit from another. You’ll notice when you visit the above page that by default you see visit #1 listed, rather than the most recent successful visit, #3. That is because unless a specific visit is requested, we show the “most successful, most accurate, most recent” first. To determine this for yourself, you have to know that the “Accuracy” field, shown on the left-hand side of the page, is not displayed when the value is 0, or 100. In this case, all three visits are sucessful, so it’s a 3-way tie. However, the next criteria, accuracy, puts #1 in the lead, because of it’s value of 5 meters
