  1. With the eTrex Venture HC, you will not get the additional geocache data natively. The unit doesn't support paperless caching natively.

     

    However, you can use GSAK and Pocket Queries and the appropriate GSAK macro along with Garmin's POI Loader software to load SOME of the geocache data to the unit as Custom POIs.

    Alternately, you can use a secondary device (as mentioned above) to load the detailed cache data.

  2. Otherwise, sharing of Pocket Query data in not permitted in accordance with the licensing agreement.

    i have recently pointed out this myself to someone, but they were talking about sharing it with a group of non-premium members

     

    in this case, i really don't see what the problem is, each is a PM running their own PQ's and comparing...this situation to me doesn't qualify as sharing

    However, the license agreement states ...

     

    Uses Not Permitted:

    Licensee shall not sell, rent, lease, sublicense, lend, assign, time-share, or transfer, in whole or in part, or provide access to the Data, Related Materials, any updates, or Licensee's rights under this Agreement to any third party whatsoever.

    ...

    Licensee shall not remarket, resell, and/or redistribute the Data or any derived portion(s) of the Data in its digital form to any third party whatsoever.

  3. The data is licensed to a single user account.

     

    The agreement that we all agreed to prior to getting Pocket Query data spells this out.

    ...This is a license agreement, and not an agreement for sale, between the end user (Licensee) and Groundspeak, Inc. (Groundspeak),

     

    ...Groundspeak and its licensor(s) retain exclusive ownership of the copy of the Data and Related Materials licensed under this Agreement and, hereby, grant to Licensee a personal, nonexclusive, nontransferable license to use the Data

     

    ...Permitted Uses:

    • Licensee may install the Data or portions of the Data onto a global positioning system unit ["GPS"] for Licensee's own internal use.

    ...

    • Licensee may modify the Data and merge other data sets with the Data for Licensee's own internal use. The portions of the Data merged with other data sets will continue to be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

    ...

  4. The cache page shows that it was archived on October 20, 2010.

    Are you sure that it wasn't loaded to your GPS unit prior to that?

     

    Note that if it was loaded to your GPS unit before it was archived, loading subsequent PQs won't necessarily delete the the "old" data depending upon how you are loading the data.

     

    The cache shouldn't, however, be in a PQ that is from three weeks ago.

     

    The best way to make sure that you have fresh data in your GPS unit is to download it and load it right before you go caching.
