I like the idea of travel bugs and geocoins. I do not usually pick up TBs because many have no tag stating their mission. I do not have access to any info on the TB, so leave it. I will not come back later. Many are also too big. I will not clutter up the logs with more "I didn't take it" messages. I am still looking for a way to get a TB(or any trackable) Pocket Query and a map just like caches. If I could, I would have info I needed for an area I will be going to. I could even find TBs I like and can help, and schedule a trip to it. Rick a8maestro

Well, playing with more, Its obvious to me that parts of this do not yet work. Search radius has no effect..all caches included are ON the route only. After creating the pocket query from the User Route, you have to click on the first item in the preview, then show map, and manually make a list of caches along the route. Not very good for loading into gps or pdas, but its something. Maybe it will get fixed. Rick

Since they asked a similar question..... I created a route for a day of quick grabs. Adjusted the route line to the roads I wanted. Generated the pocket query. And was off and driving with my brother. Until midway, he said there was a cache closer than I had on my list. He had one the route pocket query didn't. Looking at the route edit, I am assuming the blue line is the route and the gray band is the inclusion area, and my missing cache was part way in the gray area. Only there is nothing in it and nothing I set changes that. I am assuming "Search Radius" and "Show me" change this. With no help links on any of the features, I can only spend a lot of time guessing and testing. But it doesn't seem to work. And in some views, the blue line is covered by the gray band, so disappears. So I am wondering if this works, but the inclusion area is permanently only a few feet off the route line. I hope someone can tell me what is going on, or what I need to do differently. Thanks, Rick D.
