This does not apply in my original situation. The process ran, and I got emails before I realized that I need to make changes first.

Thank you again, this could have been avoided with the option of getting GPX files instead of LOC from the search for caches page. Where you check off the ones you want and then download. I am aware of the sing files you can get per cache, but I was in the need to get a lot on my unit this morning. I was able to use LOC originally sent, but missed a lot of the convince of the data held inside the GPX. Again, whats done is done. I didn't think that flipping a switch would have been such an ordeal. I had not intended this to be so public but being I did not get a reply from an email attempt I figured some one here could pull the trigger without much hassle. I do understand that a lot of people would want something like this however I felt that my situation was a bit unique. Being as I was not an active user, and had this happen without my knowledge. I figured Groundspeak would handle this for me. I didn't consider it an unreasonable request. Scratch all that.. I had to go do some work and had time to think.. I have a solution for problems just like this.. Here ya go.. New feature request: Pocket Queries Second Chance (word it however) Lets say someone has a need to have more than 5 runs in a day for whatever reason. The reason doesn't matter. On there pocket query page there will be a new button [second chance], when this button is clicked it will take them to a page explaining how this works. Second chance offers users the ability to run [1] or [all] (meaning the team picks the terms not the user) queries again in the same 24 hour period once in a [7] or [30] day period (again team choice) The user will then be re-informed that that chances to the queries need to be made PRIOR to initiating this feature. such as disabling them or making the needed chances (if this is how the team wants to make it work) first. This gives everyone with whatever reason no reason to bring this up again. Because just like Tequila said earlier there are other things that could cause a user to need this feature. Thank you.

No that your comment has any faults, but I have been out of the game for over a year and was eager to get back on the horse. Not to mention I am a paid user who's money goes to support this site and this hobby. A little compassion for someone who had something run completely out of my control. Had I remembered that a year ago that my queries would fire off the second I reactivated my account I would have done something first. I just figured all that was off line while my account was also. Well anyway. Today was a bust but i did learn something... asking for help or support is like going to the dentist. It might be what you need in the long run, but for that day it sucks.

Actually I just need to run 1 more today. Is there no one that runs the site willing to help?

Who could I contact about getting my pocket queries resent (limit of 5 was reached by accident). I just got back into geocaching today, was a premium member a year ago. When I reactivated my premium account all the pocket queries I had activated. However I needed them in a GPX format as I now have a new GPS (this was why I was out for a year.) I have removed the un-used queries, and updated the ones I need but can not get them to run again.. Thanks.

The laptop I have is an EEEPC 900 its almost PDA size. the GPS is like a pack of gum. So toating it around will not be an issue. Thanks for the input. I will look into it.

I no longer have a gps that I can geocache with. (was using garmin xl, for my motorola q phone) I want to get back into it, and was wounding if I could use a laptop + some software + a bluetooth GPS to doo all the navigation to the waypoints to find the geocaches? I need to know what the "some software" would be that I use? needs to have the ability to guide me to my waypoint and help me get there once im in the location? Thanks. Edit: Also I do have a MioMoov, if it could be hacked to geocache that would be great as well.

You are correct, moderators please move.

When someone seaches my "found" caches, they get an "object out......." error Couldnt remeber the exact error, I didnt get the error when looking at their lists. I had one other person confirm it.. Thanks.

actually I would like to have it all in one on my motorola q... I think I have it pretty close now, will just hang out till google maps gets more updated.

Hello all, I am new to geocaching but have managed to locate 12 so far.. My family likes to do this as a group activity. Between all of us (one family friend included) we have alot of ways to hunt down caches. However, Im sorely disapointed in what I have found for my device, and need some guidance. My wife uses her cell phone and the geonavigator from here, works well. Our family friend has a dedicated garmin gps that he imports data into and uses that. I have a motorola Q and for the life of me can not seem to locate an affordable all-in-one system. I would like to have navigation as well as a geocaching database, with links to this site for info and clues. What I am doing right now is the following. I use google maps, and a small program I have written to convert the .loc files that I can get from here into KML files for google, the only limitation is, I can only display 9 points per KML, more than that are ignored. and I can not get the links to display in the discriptions. (they show up on the desktop google maps but not mobile. If i could atleast figure that part out I think I would be happy. Thanks.

I could not get this to work on a motorola Q, author said smartphones were not supported.
