+swizzle Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I'm a new premium member and I'm just curious about some of the features. I think its best if I learn them one at a time. So what are Pocket Queries, how do I creat them and does it make my caching experience more enjoyable or complicated? Thanx, Swizzle Quote Link to comment
+webscouter. Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 If you go to www.geocaching.com/pocket you can create a query that will let you download up to 500 caches of the type, difficulty, terrain etc that you want. When you select a day they will be e-mailed to you in a GPX file. This can be viewed with several different utilities including Watcher(my favorite) GSAK(most powerful)Cachemate(Palm) and others. You can also use GSAK or GPSBabel to upload all the caches to your gps. A couple of notes. Don't select to many parameters. Many times this can lead to no results. The most common error is trying to select all the caches you have found and all the caches you haven't found. Since a cache can't be both you will get no results returned. Quote Link to comment

+swizzle Posted December 29, 2007 Author Share Posted December 29, 2007 I tried to download info into my magellan sportrak map and I ended up clearing everything off of it. I had to start everything all over again. For now I think I'll just add the numbers manually. Someday when I'm rich and famous I'll buy a new gps. I'm thinking about switching to a garmin. Something without too many bells and whistles would be nice. What are your favorite premium membership features? I downloaded Google Earth and most of my area is blurry?!? What's up with that. Terraserver is better then google earth in those areas. Is there a way to clear up the blurriness? Swizzle Quote Link to comment
+tabulator32 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 What are your favorite premium membership features? My favorite feature is the pocket queries and the ability to incorporate them into "paperless caching". It saves an incredible amount of time versus manually loading coordinates and printing or noting cache descriptions and hints. Aside from that, the free pass to the local Groundspeak gym and indoor pool is definitely a bonus. Quote Link to comment
