+Stunod Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 (edited) I am trying to do a PQ around N 77 44.800 W 40 53.800. The PQ returns no results. I have tried many options and still get nothing. Any help would be appreciated Can you describe all the other options you used? One of the most common mistakes is checking the box for both CACHES I HAVE FOUND and CACHES I HAVE NOT FOUND. Since it is impossible for a cache to have both of those characteristics, the results come back as zero. Edited October 13, 2008 by Stunod Link to comment

Since it is impossible for a cache to have both of those characteristics, the results come back as zero. I started by checking only Trads and letterboxes, it didnt work. Then I tried all types of caches, no date restriction still isnt working. I will try others and post the results here later Thanks for your quick reply Link to comment
+PhantomTech Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Using the Hide and Seek search page it looks like the closest cache is 402 miles away. Pocket queries default to 100 mile radius. Link to comment

Motorcycle_Mama Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I created a PQ using your original coordinates (reversed) and didn't check any other boxes. http://www.geocaching.com/pocket/gcquery.a...87-d79f9a84cf8a Here's what I got. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.asp...87-d79f9a84cf8a Link to comment
