TFTC

Yup, they are just sitting there, using up 10% of my 2669 MB That's since May, so I guess I'll have to figure out how to make them auto-delete.

Ahimsa, I just did this and GSAK is looking through my archive of over 1000 emails...and yes, I did check the box next to "only check new messages"! So far this isn't faster.... I set up a gmail account that is only used for pocket queries - I've never actually looked at in gmail itself to see if the emails are just piling up, but it only takes a minute or two to get my 5 pocket queries.

WBC?

Surveyors... got lost?! Um, sure, let's hire them. Edit - type-o!

OK - let's take a look at your pocket queries - do they look something like this (ignore the red circles - have you selected GPX format)?

Well, let's start with the basics: You have GSAK on your PC and Cachemate on your Palm - is that correct? Do you have all the info you think you need in GSAK?

Actually, for me the holy grail would be the ability to save common searches (you know, like Starbucks) But I'd settle for one of those (and I have a CS too)

Now how did that happen!?!? It was two before I posted that?

Harmon, two more posts to the top of the next page! If you want to reprise and expand upon the current/next lesson, that would be a good place to park it!

Oh, great idea! I just named ours Solana Beach Geocoin.

In GSAK, try the "File - Get data via e-mail" menu Macros are very simple - here's the one to get the pocket queries: GETMAIL Settings="GMail" DATABASE Name="San Diego Unfound" Action=select CANCELFILTER LOAD Settings="Unfound" Here's one to export to mapsource, google earth: DATABASE Name="San Diego Unfound" Action=select CENTRE LOCATION="Home" CANCELFILTER FILTER Name="18 Miles" IF $_FilterCount > 0 EXPORT TYPE="mps" Settings="Unfound All" ENDIF CANCELFILTER FILTER Name="Easy" IF $_FilterCount > 0 EXPORT TYPE="mps" Settings="Unfound Easy" ENDIF CANCELFILTER FILTER Name="All Not Found" IF $_FilterCount > 0 SORT by="Code" EXPORT TYPE="gpx" Settings="For Google Earth" SORT by="Distance" ENDIF CANCELFILTER To cachemate: DATABASE Name="San Diego Unfound" Action=select CENTRE LOCATION="Home" CANCELFILTER EXPORT TYPE="cmt" Settings="Unfound" I just assign each one to a toolbar button so I just go click, click, click! My Palm Treo (and previously, Palm Tungsten E) have expansion cards and I put the cachemate database on there. No speed issues at all with 3000 caches and logs going back a year. Smart! Once I solve one, I'll have to try that out! The only flaw in my system is I never know that a cache is archived. It seems that they aren't included in Pocket Queries, so GSAK never knows, so Cachemate never knows, so I never know - until it's too late!

Actually there is one event tomorrow, but it's probably too late to remind anyone of that one! Soo.... Meet at the Lake Jennings P&R this Saturday at 8 AM...

Here's a little San Diego GSAK/Cachemate banter to put the pedal to the metal on the post count here - hehe, hope lesson 10 is almost ready (12 posts 'til TOP of page)! Just a summary of what I do: I have 5 pocket queries that get me about 2500 caches around San Diego (probably take most of you fewer queries! ) that are sent to a special gmail account. I have GSAK set up to automatically collect those emails and process the pocket queries I have some GSAK macros that export to cachemate, mapsource and google earth I synch my Treo to get cachemate updated I upload to my gpsr from mapsource (there is a reason I don't use GSAK directly) I use Google Earth for an overview and I can actually save GE images to my Treo as well All I have to do is run GSAK a few times a week and click about a dozen buttons. Here's a really old page I made a while ago to explain how to do it, but it really needs updating: Paperless Geocaching

Hey, no unnecessary fluff posts! That last post was edited to correct a spelling error.

Hey, no unnecessary fluff posts!

You might try that over in Banter - I do what you want to do and I'm sure others can help too.

Actually, a good time would be in about 18 posts!

If anyone happens to notice, can you post a recap of what's upcoming when we flip over to the next page? I think that'll happen in about 15 posts. Basically the date, the time and the meeting place so it'll be easy to find. If I notice it, I'll do it.

I need to get the BV caches in the loop, but not this Saturday!

It's just too beautiful to set loose! I'm hoping PW would not mind if I just sent a copy of mine out into the wild.

Hehe, believe me, *I* didn't want to bail after having made the drive that far! Now I'll have to do it again! Although, I think next time I'll just throw a motorcycle in the back of the truck

We were wondering if anyone would be interested in a kid-oriented group cache. You know, one where the kids would have so much fun they would want to cache again. That would probably mean: No hour-long rides to the first cache No 3 hour drives to get 3 miles of defcon caches Hehe, you get the idea... Actually, my kids enjoyed the Bear Valley run - but if I were to ask them if they wanted to do it again, the answer would be "No, thanks!!" But I would like to have them meet some other geocaching kids. Even if you don't have kids, can you suggest some fun local caches that they might enjoy?

I believe you dropped your TB off at Bear Valley Loop-Bearable Views (GCNTZT) so you had it out then. There were so many of us - and we're all such sharp geo-spotters, that I don't think it would have been overlooked. Hoping it's just lost in the house somewhere! Or maybe it ended up back in the Forbidden Forest - maybe it really liked it there.

Good idea, there weren't many ammo cans in Bear Valley!

Here's one of our memories from last weekend:
