Did you select a day for it to run? If you've selected Saturday for it to run, it may take a bit since Saturday's pretty popular day for PQs and it may take a while for the system to get to your request. If you did not select Saturday, then it won't be run on Saturday (I.E. today) If you didn't get an e-mail than the PQ was not run. If it was not run, you won't be able to download it.

GSAK has the option to retrieve caches within a specified rectangle, just make the rectangle within the degrees you need. GSAK also has columns for Long and Lat, load up a PQ that centers in the range you need and then you can sort and remove caches fall outside the desired range.

Did you forget Obedient, or passing on the low handing fruit? Although Thrifty would lean towards burying since it's probably cheaper method of camo, but 11 out of the 12 points say no burying of caches!

Park and grab usually means that the cache is within a couple feet of the parking area, but it's not an official term so it means whatever the CO wants it to mean. Traditional, Multis and Unknown require a physical container to contain the log, so no. Earthcaches and some of the grandfathered types like Virtuals could be just a view as long as the view was relevant to the logging requirement.

If you're using Internet Explorer, turn on Compatibility Mode, lots of people reported that fixing the problem.

Assuming they're duplicate Found logs, it should decrease your total numbers but it may take a bit for the system to catch up.

If you use IE, you can try turning on Compatibility Mode, others have reported that fixing issues of sending caches to their GPS.

They might mean that the sum of each decimal place will be 24. 1+4+4=9 so hope your coords aren't 144 00.000

I think magnetic is more common, but Longitude and Latitude won't care so whichever you want. If you're projecting a waypoint, the cache page should mention which one.

It could be a Premium Member Only cache, it could also be the final to a Puzzle/Multi cache since those would not be listed as being at the coordinates you found. If you care to share the publish date and some of the found dates we can try and track down the cache. It's also possible that the cache has been archived but the container was never retrieved, or that you stumbled upon a cache that hasn't been published but those are less common occurances.

Sad, things do change after 5 years

Here's a picture. If you stop by a computer repair shop and ask if they have any dead/obsolete hard drives they'll usually let them go for real cheap, if not just give them away. You may want to mention that you're after the magnets since there may still be data and some shops get touchy about that. You will need a star shaped (not hexagon) screw driver to open them, but you can find them for cheap if you don't have one already. You can get hard drives by the lot on Ebay, but that may end up costing you more than you're looking to spend for more than you need.

GSAK can download pocket queries, combine the GPXs and then export to the PN-60.

This was addressed in the first post.

The mountains would give better picture for the spy satellites, better to find a nice cave.

Your Reviewer(s) should periodically go through and check which caches have been marked with an Archive request. Then they'll post a note asking the CO to respond within X amount of time. Once that time period has elapse, normally the Reviewer will then archive it. Reviewers are volunteers so if they get busy with non-cache stuff they may not get around to it the day the timer expires. If you're eyeing the spot for a cache you can send a politely worded reminder. If you're asking how the physical cache is removed after the listing is gone, ideally someone will stop by and pick it up, but some archived caches sit out there for a very long time.

Unless you named the file X when downloading, that would not be the correct file. The file name normally starts with 7 numbers (E.G. 6638577). If you checked the "Include Pocket Query name in download file name" box, then it'll be 7 number an underscore (I.E. _) followed by whatever you entered as the Query Name when creating it. (E.G. 6638577_MyFirstPQ) In case that is the correct name, or when you find the PQ, double click that file to open it. You should see 2 files with similar names, but one will end in "-wpts". You want to copy those two files to the GPS.

What browser and OS are you using?

Short answer, can't be done. Groundspeak does not allow Private caches. The only option Groundspeak offers to limit who can see a cache is Premium Member Only but that's still opening it up to a lot of people since any Premium Member can see it. You could always print a document with the coords and a brief write up similar to how Groundspeak works, but the searchers would not be able to download them from Geocaching.com nor log them online since they would not technically be Geocaches.

Here's a tutorial on how to load the maps. http://www.gpsfiledepot.com/tutorials/how-to-load-maps-on-my-garmin-gps-unit/ Here's the list of maps, no idea what's good since I don't use a Garmin. http://www.gpsfiledepot.com/maps/

It might be better to refer to the file as a spreadsheet rather than Excel file. Mentioning a specific product name sometimes sets people's "It's commercial!" alarm off. OpenOffice/LibreOffice are free. While I've never run into them, I've heard there are a couple commands/options that OO/LO handle differently from Excel so you may want to double check it works there. For consistence's sake using Google Docs might be safest, although that would require you entering all the formulas and protection in again. You may also want to run the concept by your Reviewer if you haven't already. It's possible for spreadsheets to contain malicious code so some Reviewers are leery of publishing caches that require the use of spreadsheets.

Broad strokes: Plug in GPS. Download the file somewhere convenient. Open/Extract the file with program of your choice. Copy both GPX files from the zip file into the GPX folder on the GPS. More detailed instructions would require us knowing what OS you're using and if you're using a non-default program to open zip files.

Could also be 1 cache with 6 duplicate logs, or some other combination, but 6 caches that are double logged is much more likely. If you load a My Finds querry into GSAK you can sort by number of found logs, not sure of a convenient alternative to that.

Do you mean the PQ folder on your GPS device? To the best of my knowledge, no handheld GPS will read a compressed file (which is what you download from the site) so you will have to either continue to manually open the Zip file and then move the file(s) to the GPS, or you'll have to track down a program that will download and then transfer. GSAK should be able to do it. Delorme has Cache Register that will do it for their GPSs. Not sure other GPS manufactures have. If you don't know how to move the file from the computer to the GPS at all, either find a program that can, or tell us what GPS you have since there isn't standard method to accomplish it by hand.

Below the directional dial are 3 buttons, middle one should have an icon that looks like a push pin. Press the middle button and it'll bring up a screen that has the Name, Coords and a couple other fields. Use the directional button to select the field you want to change, and the Enter button to start editing it. You can even change the icon to the left of the Name to one of Geo-caching's icons, it will save the manually entered waypoint under the GeoCache menu rather than the WayPoint menu.
