Pq Limited To Radius Of 500 Mi?

I'm trying to create a PQ to give me all cache finds. I figured I would set my center point at my zip code and a search radius of 9999 miles or something very large. However, I have found that 500 miles seems to be the maximum distance allowed. When I put in any number larger than 500, it resets it back to 500.

 

Is there another way to get all my finds, regardless of location, in a PQ? I know that archived listings won't show up in the PQ, and that's fine.

I thought about that, but what will happen when I get that first international cache? I didn't see USA in the countries list, and the states/countries selection seems to be mutually exclusive.

 

Granted, it will probably be a while before I find a cache in another country, but my brother will be moving to Africa before too long, so it could happen :)

 

I guess I could do two different PQs, one with all of the states, and another with all of the countries, if/when that happens. Thanks for the quick replies!

I hope you understand that any individual PQ will not return more than 500 entries. If you want to get all caches in a state, you're going to have to divide them up. Depending on what state you're trying to get, it may take several days worth of PQs.

You can select ALL the states. That will capture everywhere in the world, as it lists all of the states in different countries, AND has a record for "No State".
