+MulderNScully Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I searched topics for this, but couldn't find any. Is it possible to use the map in GC.com to "frame" a geographic area, say a large park, and then load all caches as a group from that map. This can be done in MyGarmin. I cache by area and don't use SWAK. MyGarmin has this feature, but they don't include member and a few other types of caches. Link to comment

If you have a google map showing there is an option under the premium member features to create a pocket query of the map. This should include PMO caches Dose this help? I have no idea what SWAK is, so I guess I don't use it either. Jim Link to comment

Jim The resulting PQ uses a co-ordinate based query (presumably centre of the map) but has a radius option that doesn't necessarily translate easily to what is framed. My experience is that the resulting .gpx file contains a much larger range too. I think a good solution would be to allow all the mapped caches in the sidebar to be selected/de-selected then downloaded as a single .gpx Link to comment
+trixter.au Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Actually, now that I think of it, bookmarks may be the solution for me - you can have multiple bookmark lists and create a PQ from a bookmark list. Would still be good to be able to PQ or Bookmark all on a map for gpx output without having to do individually. Link to comment
+Corey Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 To create PQ circles, I've found a useful tool called Circle Filter that can be added to the regular Google Maps. The tool displays the radius of the circle, then I have to either find a cache near the indicated center point, or use another tool like Position Finder to get the center coordinates. Link to comment
+jesperqvist Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 But still, it would be nice to have gc.com implement a better multi-cacher tool. I dont like having to use all sorts of add-on software. I would be much better if the right solution is where the data is - gc.com. Jesper - Denmark Link to comment
