.loc Vs .gps Downloads

[+medic128]

As a premium member is there a way to download .GPS files from the geocaching web site in bulk?

 

I was able to click "select all" and download a bunch of caches but they all come down in the .LOC format that has very little information in it. I see if I open the cache I am able to download the information in .LOC OR .GPS format but only one at a time.

First, it's .gpx (GPS eXchange format)

 

And you have to run pocket queries to mass download .gpx files. This was a bit of an annoyance for me too.

I believe you mean .gpx files, and yes as a premium member you can get 500 caches at a time and the results can be filtered according to all sorts of criteria. I am talking about pocket queries. Go to the main site and click on "My Account" and then "run pocket queries". You can have them emailed to you and then you just load them up in EASY GPS, GSAK or whatever an upload to your gps.
