+tommiB Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I also would love it to make PQ's with more than 500 Caches in it. I'm an owner of the new Colorado and would love it to have all caches from switzerland in the device. Link to comment
+The Leprechauns Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 Nothing prevents you from loading every cache in Switzerland into your Garmin Colorado today. Switzerland presently has about 4900 caches. With ten pocket queries, you can get all the active caches that you haven't found. You can run those ten queries every two days, or twice a week, etc. I keep track of more than twice that many caches without ever having data that's more than a week old. Link to comment

But point taken. Link to comment

+Tech Nic Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I tried to follow this thread, not being interested in the number of pocket queries, though. Am I right in saying that each pocket query is limited to including only 5 logs per cache page? Or am I missing something? Link to comment

However, by loading the PQs into GSAK, you can 'build' the number of logs that you have access to in your PDA. Link to comment
+infiniteMPG Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 That is correct.

Right now I convert the results to a KML or KMZ and import and it fails only about 100% of the time stating it's an invalid KML (or KMZ) file. Even tried uploading to internet and providing URL and tried it with just a couple results and same thing... ::sigh:: Link to comment

I also use Microsoft Streets and Trips to plot them out for portable use. Link to comment
+Wacka Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 There's a GSAK macro that will take your current filter and put them on Google maps. Link to comment
