Yes, please! I'm a big fan of puzzle caches and it's virutally impossible to maintain an up-to-date bookmark list containing all the solved caches. A simple additional checkbox in the PQ definition would solve all my problems! This shouldn't be very complicated...?

I always added solved mystery caches as waypoints in my GPS. However, after a factory reset, they are all gone and I have absolutely no idea, how to recreate them without manually checking every single mystery in my neighbourhood.
Desperately waiting for a "corrected coordinates only" checkbox in the PQ definition...
BUG: PQ creates invalid GPX/XML
in Website
Posted · Edited by RCH65
The PQ generator creates an invalid XML if there are Special characters (below X'20' ?) somewhere in the cache description. I don't know how they get into the listing, probably the owner used Copy&Paste. Example: GC4N77D
This results in the following invalid data:
<name>GC4N77D</name>
<desc>déjà vu's „das war der Anfang“ #1 by dejavue7, Traditional Cache (1.5/3)</desc>
<url>http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=0e532090-104c-4e07-a501-c05ad8538a07</url>
<urlname>déjà vu's „das war der Anfang“ #1</urlname>
..snip...
Many (Garmin) GPSr stop importing caches at this point with the result, that you have just a partial Import.
Even a full-blown XML Reader on a Windows system refuses to import this file.
PS: After removing the red marked data, everything works as expected...
