[Can't see IPB images]

First off all i would update to FF 2.0.

[Filter options in a PQ]

First do not set any filter just the right centerpoint then look for the result. From there go one step ahead.

 

I use GSAK to work and filter with all the Caches. Therefore i have made PQ's with my home as center point with a max distance of 200KM. As filter a use the placed between filter.

 

PQ1 from 01-01-2000 to ? ( You have to try until you have a little less as 500 caches. )

PQ2 from ?+1 to ?? and so on.

 

Now i get these PQ divided over the week. If you place them on a map the are several layers of the same area. But the do not have overlap because the placing date is uniek.

 

Those PQ's are loaded from Gmail in GSAK.net. GSAK remembers all the Caches and logs. If a Cache is not updated after 1 week, i know, it is archived. Because archived Caches are not in the PQ's. I also get every day all the new caches and the updated in the last 7 days.

[Filter options in a PQ]

Look for some good HELP. If you want to try don't mark the day to make the PQ. After you have confirmt your PQ you can see the result over the preview button. If you do not have the result you want you can change it again until you like it. Than you can mark the day to get the results as a PQ.

[GPX and max logs]

A Pocket Querie will hold 5 Logs.

 

A GPX loaded from a cache page will held 20 Logs.

 

No it it is not possible to get more logs.

 

But you can Use a program like GSAK to feed with your PQ's or GPX to keep the data you put in it. The program will remind all the logs and merge it with the new wan.

[Pocket query question]

I work with the program gsak. The pq that i become are from a certain fixed area. To get al the caches from that area without overlap or forgetting caches i work with the date that the are placed. Give me all the caches from homefrom date A to B. If the pq is 500 Then the next pq is from date B+1 to c, ent so on. It is already explained some were. Thry to use the search function.

[Pocket query & archived cache]

Have you loked on the GSAK-forum. The solutions u are surching for are already diskust numeres times. There are some special macro's.

This a example from all the caches in the Netherlands i have in my database.

[Pocket Queries: Best technique for blanketing an area?]

Use this Macro to find wat is the best way to use the date for the new PQ's.

With me the max is 500 Miles.

[Problem opening .loc & .gpx files directly from the website]

I don't know sure. But i think it has somthing to do with security settings or thrusted sites from Internet Explorer Actualy behind the promt wath to do with the file Open or Download there is a other prompt for downloading. But after klikking on open the file is not downloaded.

[Problems with Pocket Queries, Myfinds]

Ask geocaching.com, per mail if the can look, if it is realy send from them to you. Look with your provider if it isn't blocked as spam or a virus.

[Ask.com maps]

If you want to use it with GSAK put the next line in to Custom Url's. You can find that under Tools,Options,Html.

[Which GSAK macros do you use?]

That is like driving in a car and only use the first gear althoug U have 5.

[Gsak And Archived Caches]

I use a macro because I get the PQ from a certain area. I combined wo macro's but hadent had the time to mace it clean and internaional to put it on the website from GSAK. But you can have a look.

 

It wil open internet. make the window small. Hit on the download gpx button from the cache. These information wil bedownloaded to the harddisk. After don so with al the caches GSAK wil load the gpxen. And the database is updated again with the last 20 logs and availebilti is also updated.

It is correct that GSAK is not neceserry but it makes life mutch esier because it can do a lot of thing with only one click on a button.

 

Therefore I can use Custom Url's. If you put these code in Custom Url's you can filter the caches you want to see and choose the right maps.

[kml file link to Google Earth]

Therfore I use GSAK.

[offline logging?]

You can do that with cachemate and GSAK.

[Pocket Queries features listed somewhere?]

The best way is to use GSAK (with babel under the hood.) I work wit 7 PQ ( 1 a day )to get all the caches in the Netherlands. All the PQ are the same the only difference is the placingdate. I have chosen the from to dates to get up to 490 caches in one PQ in this way a dont get a overlap. After 1 week all the caches are updated in GSAK. I also have a PQ New caches placed in the last 7 days and A PQ caches updated in the last 7 days. I let them run about 3 times a week. In GSAK I can filter as i want and export that to MS autoroute ( MS Streets and Trips). You can also use the Route system from GC.COM a good help for making PQ you can find here.

 

My advice is start with simpel PQ to see for your selve if you are doing it right. The most commen failure is that people start with making a lot of choises and dont get any result. Dont pick a day to make a PQ until u are satisfaid. Use the preview option to see if the result is wath u want.

 

But the best way is to load all the caches u can get in GSAK and than filter as U want. GSAK has a whery hi valua for the money.

[My Pocket Queries Page]

Pleasy put it back on date or make clikable.

[New Feature Request]

Sorry i was doing several things at a time. For this i have made a pocket querie with my home coord. and only new caches. You can than see the preview. Copy the url of the preview and place it as a bookmark in your browser.

[New Feature Request]

Hit My Account and look in the upper right corner.

[Please Help!]

Not necessary but whery helpful. Because it takes a lot off your hands and mind.

 

I dont know witch url you use but this is GSAK.

 

Perhaps you have to check your firewall or other security program.
