Merging Pocket Queries

[+GeoRon]

It it against the license agreement for two geocachers to merge their unfound queries in order for them to find caches that they both need when going on an outing together? It looks like it is to me.

It is not a violation for both cachers to load their my finds PQ into ITATN. There is a feature on that site that will compare two PQs to do what you are asking.

Yes, it's a license violation. Thanks for asking!

 

Okiebryan has posted one solution that's compliant. Another is to create a bookmark list for the caches you want to find, and then ask your friend to review the list for caches they've already found. Once you've finalized the bookmark list, both of you can run a pocket query on it.

What is ITATN? Sounds like something I might want to use.

It's Not About the Numbers is a useful statistics site. It's often abbreviated "INATN" and in fact, "INATN.com" will also get you there. I'm sorry I didn't notice the typo in the earlier post.

Why would INATN be ok if another premium member is not ok as INATN is a third party.

I know how to do it using GSAK so don't need INATN.

Read the bottom of the INATN website, they are licensed to have the PQ's. It still might technically be a violation of the TOU to use GSAK, but I'm not a lawyer and I haven't slept in a Holiday Inn Express.
