I'm just thinking now… If I create PQs to get e.g. a full country (1000 caches per PQ, etc...) and I load them in GSAK. And from that point on I use GSAK on a regular base to get the latest caches (by using the "published during the last xx days"), this would keep my database up to date for the new caches. Since GSAK is using the "Published date" and not the "Hidden date", my problem mentioned above would be solved. If this is right, there is no need of using the classic PQ's anymore (once you have an initial database), and the upload of new caches could even be automated with a GSAK Macro? Sounds too good to be true...

Hi, Has anyone an idea on where I could go with following 'nice to have' corncerning the PQ's and it's 'Placed During' option. Maybe this has already been posted, but I couldn't find it back. As I like to keep the Belgian (and other) cache database offline and up-to-date, I created a list of PQ's using the date option. e.g. for Belgium I have about 40 PQ's. On a regular base, I run the last one till it has about 1000 caches. Then I create a new one from the last day of the former PQ till I hit the 1000 again. The aim was to get all new caches without having to run all those PQ's over and over again. Lately, I noticed that I missed caches here and there. I did some investigation, and I have the impression that PQ's are using the 'Hidden Date' and not the 'Published Date'. I had the case that caches were hidden in February, and published in April. As I only take care of my last PQ, those caches did not show up. When I rerun an older PQ, I suddenly get more than 1000 caches and the newly published are listed in those old PQ's. So to summarize, wouldn't it be better to use the "Published Date" in the PQ selection rather than the "Hidden Date"? I hope my post is clear. But as my native language is not English, some things might be confusing. But I'm still convinced my English is better than Google Translate :-)
