Sounds a lot easier that what I just went through. So how does the geocaching app get the PQ. Does it integrate directly to my PQ page? If it is that easy, seems worth the $10. Thanks

Thanks....I am just using GeoBeagle (free app). I did some more research and found out that the Droid native browser is what was the problem with the .zip file. I tried using the Dolphin browser and the PQ downloaded form GC.com site just fine. I then used Astro file manager to extract the .gpx file to load into Geobeagle.

Not sure if this can be done. Has anyone had any luck downloading PQ's directly to a DROID from geocaching.com? I have been downloading to computer, then copying the .gpx file to my droid via USB cable. When I go to the PQ page and click on the file to download, I get a message on the droid that the filetype is not supported by my phone. I can copy a file from an email but when I do a 1000 cache PQ and the only option is to download from the site, I get the error message. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, jhazens

Thanks for the replies folks. I'll probably wait a week or so then if it doesn't get logged, I'l do the grab/drop/grab thing.

Haven't had this happen to me yet so was wondering what to do. I swapped trackables in a cache and when I went to log the one I found, it wasn't showing up in the cache. I figured someone just hasn't dropped it yet. Well, I plugged in the tracking code and found that it still shows up in a different cache in a different state and was last dropped there 3 months ago. What is the right thing to do? Wait to see if someone eventually logs it and drops it in the cache where I found it? If so, How long to wait? What are the other options? Thanks, Jeff

I'm finding a different problem. Any PQ based on a radius from a single point is working fine, but I have noticed on several Route PQ's that several caches are being missed. In other words, when I campare an area of a Route PQ to the same area in the search for a cache function (or a radius PQ) there are clearly missing caches. I have checked my PQ and all PQ settings are the same for the route vs radius ones I am comparing. The missing caches are random and are all currently active when I look at them.

I have the Tour and it has been working great. I have Blackstar loaded on it (it is a free geocaching software) The program even has links to this site as well as bcaching. It also allows you to import waypoints. I just imported a full pocket quarry (.gpx) with about 400 points in it and it loaded it without a problem. I had heard of some problems with Sprint users but I thought they fixed it. I am on verizon.

Not true for all Verizon phones except the storm. I have a Blackberry Tour that I can use Blackstar on (third party GPS App). I can import either .loc or gpx files as waypoints and track with it. Google Maps as well as Poynt also work utilizing the GPS. I think Verizon is changing their ways. The Tour is slightly newer than the Storm too.
