You should be able to select that as a minimum and get results.

 

After submitting, you should be able to view the results online immediately and, if your email address aon file is current, it should send it to your email address in a zip file when it is through processing.

 

The filters are great for selecting specific types or sizes of caches (say you only want to hunt ammo can-sized caches or only micros, you can select that.

 

Another thing I like to do when selecting a centerpoint to start the search from is to find a cache on a map of the area I want to search and set that cache as the centerpoint using its GC ID code.

 

Then you can set the maximum radius in miles or the number of caches to return in the query results.

 

'Hope this helps.

There is definitely a problem when selecting "Home Coordinates" and limiting to one State, so it is better to input your Home Coordinates or use the GC number for a nearby cache.

 

Here is how I set up one section of the PQ form:

 

 

I also now check the box to eliminate the caches on my Ignore list.

 

Since the Attributes can be a problem, it is best to not select any of those. Maybe someday Attributes will work better.
