+rich41 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 (edited) Hello, I am a new user and new to Geochaching. On the Geocaching front page I can put my zip code and have 10 or 20 local caches show up. Clicking on and individual cache gives me the option of downloading either a loc file or a gpx file. However, if I check all or 5 or 6 caches to download, I can only get loc files. My question is how do I get the multiple file download to give me gpx files? Any pointers will be appreciated. rich41 Edited February 18, 2007 by rich41 Quote Link to comment
+gnbrotz Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Use Pocket Queries. You can specify different criteria if you wish to narrow it down, and can get up to 500 results returned in a single file that comes to you via e-mail. New queries usually take only a few minutes to arrive in you mailbox. Quote Link to comment

+rich41 Posted February 21, 2007 Author Share Posted February 21, 2007 Thanks for your relies. I got a pocket query. Today I discovered that Garmin has an beta update to their MapSource software that puts the gpx files from pocket query into the Geocaching directory on my 60CSx. Thats what I was trying to do. Now it is very easy. Next I will try to figure out how to transfer "Finds" directly back to geocaching.com Quote Link to comment
