Pq Old Data

[+bigdog999]

I ran a PQ on Monday for all caches in a 30 miles radius from my location. Downloaded them to my PDA & GPX Sonar. After I went to one cache, I went to another. Although there were a few DNF logs, I figured I would check out the site. The last log was from 6/6/05. When I got home, I went online to log my finds & DNFs. I find that the cache has been replaced in another location and that there has been a few finds. Why was my data old and what can be done to correct this?

It might be that you loaded an old copy of the PQ to your PDA...

Nope, not it. I just ran a new PQ, download it to GSAK and noticed that the logs still show that 3 out of the last 4 logs were DNFs.

I would load the PQ into an empty GSAK and see what that gives you. That way you can see exactly what was in the PQ as opposed to what GSAK is telling you. What is the GC number of the cache?

Don't download it into GSAK. Open the GPX as a text file, search for the GC number and tell us whether the more recent logs are present.

Actually now I am beginning to suspect that the cache you are interested in isn't in your PQ at all. Have you tried previewing the PQ online to see if it is included?

Just grasping here - are you certain that the new pq file is what is getting loaded into GSAK? I have made the mistake of saving it to one place on my computer and then loading it from somehere else that I had stored an older copy.

Yeah, what he said.

Another thing you can do is inside of GSAK, look at the value in the "Last GPX" column and see if it matches the date of the GPX file you loaded.

Yep, because of new caches, it must have pushed this cache outside the 500 cache limitation of PQs. Thanks everyone.
