+cron Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Some complain about the maximum size of a PQ. Although I agree, I'll propose another solution. Automatic PQs. We need a way to request PQs for a whole province/state/country without having to fiddle with the PQs almost everyday because of archived/disabled caches. The current system may return 475 caches one week, and 433 caches the week after... To optimize the use of the PQs, we should only specify what we want and the system would make sure the data is evenly split in 500 caches PQs, sent throughout the week (and we could keep the maximum number of PQs per day to 5). Does that make sense? Link to comment

Does that make sense? Isn't this more or less what the system does now? With available programs, you don't even have to go to email to pick them up, sort them out or clean out the archived ones. It's all automated. Link to comment

You mean there are programs available that will configure your PQs automatically to make them 500 caches each? Can you point me to them? I would love to use that! Link to comment
Keystone Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 You can order dozens of pocket queries of up to 500 caches each, and then merge them together using third party software. Since this topic duplicates several open topics about increasing the size of pocket queries, I am closing it. Link to comment
