+pppingme Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 For example, if I want to grab an area with a 50 mile radius, but there are 1300 caches, The "splitter" would split my request into three PQ's (most likely divided by date), which I can then preview and schedule. Link to comment
CoyoteRed Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 That certainly would be helpful. Even if we could preview a PQ with all, not just 500, of the returns sorted by date, we could refine the dates much quicker than the trial-and-error we do today. Either idea would be easier to program and get online faster than any of the "super queries" that would be the real cat's meow. Maybe, we could challenge the programmers for a little tool, maybe a javascript button, that given the filter on the PQ edit page that would return the dates placed of every 490th cache. Hint, hint. Nudge, nudge. Link to comment

+2Dee2Dee Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 This or something like it seems like a very reasonable request that would greatly help automate PQ development. Far better than the time consuming and resourse wasting process of trial and error. Even a dump of ALL caches or even a cache count in a cache rich area sorted by date would help us refine our PQs by date placed to meet the 500 limit. The trial and error method is a biiiiiiiiiiiig pain and a huge waste of time spent on the computer rather out on the caching trail enjoying nature. 2Dee2Dee Link to comment

+pppingme Posted July 7, 2008 Author Share Posted July 7, 2008 GSAK does do this for you now eliminating the trial and error method. Kind of, ONLY if you already have the data. If I'm scoping out a new area that macro is worthless, and I'm back to the trial and error method, thus the feature request. Link to comment
