+braindamage-1990 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Hello! First, I hope you understand my bad English. I don't know weather this idea is new or not. I just want to know your opinion. I have created a Pocket Query only with unknown Caches. The last week i solved many unknown caches. But i have no time to go outside and get them. So in the Pocket Query are all my solved caches. Now the Problem: I solved it together with my mother. She doesn't know which caches i have solved and I don't know which caches she has solved. And also the solved Caches are hiding the other unknown cache, which are not solved. So now my idea: A button in the Pocket Query or directly in the Cache listing, which make, that the cache disappears in the preview. So, what do you mean about this? Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I would argue that you have not solved anything until you actually find the cache. Anyway - sounds like a good use of the ignore list so it won't show up in queries anymore but then also add to a bookmark list so you have it for later when you go out and make the find.

+BlueDeuce Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Go to the cache page listing and select Ignore Listing. Then when you run a Pocket Query select the option 'Are not on my ignore list'. This will exclude the caches from your PQ. Link to comment
+Moose Mob Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Solving 500 puzzles is quite the feat. I commend you on that. As far as getting more than 500, you caould either put some on your ignore list or change your center location to someplace else. Link to comment
+braindamage-1990 Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 ok, thank you. At this feature i haven't thought... Link to comment
+Chrysalides Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I use GSAK for keeping track of puzzle solutions. Procedure : 1. Filter for unsolved puzzles (type = puzzle, found = no, corrected coordinates = no) 2. Solve it 3. Update notes 4. Update Corrected Coordinates I wish there is support on-site for "correcting" the coordinates, but I don't think it is going to happen any time soon. Link to comment

Will the updates stay even if I load up a fresh PQ with the old cache coords? That would be sweet if it did. Link to comment

They will, of course, be deleted if you nuke your GSAK DB before loading in new PQs (there is an option "Clear Database before loading"). Some people do this in order to get rid of archived caches. Don't do that - use "Set user flag / clear all user flags first" instead, then filter for unflagged geocaches. Link to comment

Don't do that - use "Set user flag / clear all user flags first" instead, then filter for unflagged geocaches. Or you can sort by last GPX update. The ones with the older dates are suspect. Then you can use the 'Status Check' feature to confirm whether or not the cache(s) are archived. Link to comment

The big advantage is, that you can upload the caches with GSAK and all its nice features. (smart names, %hint) GermanSailor Link to comment
