What download method are you using?
B.
I am just creating a pocket query and pressing the download waypoint button.
What I am trying to do it downloading all caches within say 50km of my home. so I want to download and transfer them to my gps in bulk, all in GPX files.
The last box on the PQ page let's you choose GPX or LOC. Have you changed the default (GPX) setting?
A PQ (zipfile) does not contain individual GPX files for each cache. It contains 2 GPX files, one with caches, the other with waypoints.
it is default set as a GPX file but it saves as a loc file.
when I get to page and click download way points. it saves as LOC file.
