+Les Nomades Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I usualy use PQ for what I'm looking for but I still have a question. When I go to my account and click on "find nearest from home coordinates" we get the listing of all geocaches. We have the option to check and download the ones we want but the download is only in .loc files. Would it be possible to have the option of having them in .GPX files. Thanks Link to comment
+Pasha Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I believe this is one of those things that many have requested but probably isn't going to happen. See e.g. this thread. Batch downloading is limited to PMs, and since that search is available to all, it ain't gonna happen. Link to comment
Jeremy Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 We'll be adding the ability for you to batch bookmarks together on the results page once we up the number of bookmarks you can have in a list. You can already add individual caches to your bookmark lists and have them returned to you in a Pocket Query. It does take an additional click to visit the cache page to click on the bookmark button. Perhaps an intermediary step is just to include a bookmark link on the results page. Hmm... Link to comment
+Lil Devil Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 After checking those boxes to the right of each cache on the "nearest" list, it would be nice if we had some options.. Download as LOC, Add to Bookmark List, Add to Ignore List, etc. Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Way cool... a commonplace repeat request is turning into a nice brainstorm. Link to comment
+Markwell Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Of course, what I've been doing in the meantime is grabbing the text of the result page, opening up a new bookmark list, and just pasting the GCxxxx code into the handy field: Hit the submit button, and in the meantime go back to the document I've got the text. By the time I highlight the next waypoint and go CTRL-C, the Geocaching.com page for the bookmark has already refreshed, and I can add the next one. I added about 40 caches to a Bookmark list in under 90 seconds yesterday... Link to comment
Jeremy Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I use Netflix quite a bit, and I really like two features of their site: 1. AJAX style popups and 2. The ADD button underneath all the movies. The QUEUE is the same as our Bookmark Lists except you can create more than one list on the Geocaching.com site. We store the most recent bookmark list as well which allows you to speed add new items to the list. #1 is harder to implement but #2 is definitely something to look at. Lots of folks are now using the Google Earth Network KML for caches to do things like caches along a route now with a similar feature. Link to comment

I added about 40 caches to a Bookmark list in under 90 seconds yesterday... The BIG advantage to this method is that the 100 caches per bookmark list does NOT apply. I maybe shooting myself in the foot by mentioning this, but I have over 200 caches in one of my bookmark lists. Link to comment
