+berryzang Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 I was wondering what people thought about the idea of having benchmarks available on pocket queries. I'm tired of trying to download them 25 at a time. Big Red Dog Geocaching Fool Quote Link to comment
+CYBret Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 HERE HERE!! I'm wondering if there are some technical difficulties with doing this (similar to the pre-1970 date problem that's been discussed in other threads). Any word from TPTB on whether or not this is planned in the future? Anyone? Anyone? Bret "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again."

+berryzang Posted September 10, 2003 Author Share Posted September 10, 2003 I emailed the suggestions page this morning. I'll see what they reply and post it here when I receive it. Big Red Dog Geocaching Fool Quote Link to comment

I'm tired of trying to download them 25 at a time. Big Red Dog Geocaching Fool Why do you download 25 at a time? Why not the whole 10 mile radius? (Or even up to 30 miles with some URL-jiggling.) But I will agree that pocket queries would be very useful. Quote Link to comment
+berryzang Posted September 10, 2003 Author Share Posted September 10, 2003 It wasn't letting me do more than 25. I'm not sure why. How do you do the 30 miles? Big Red Dog Geocaching - It's not a hobby, it's a way of life. Quote Link to comment

Big Red Dog Geocaching - It's not a hobby, it's a way of life. add &dist=30 to the end of the URL. You can use any number from 1-30. (Above 30 it treats as 30). Quote Link to comment

I'm tired of trying to download them 25 at a time. I think Jeremy has posted here before that there will be improvements in the benchmarking area by and by (and Lord knows we've been craving BM pocet queries for a good while), but that's all on a backburner as he deals with more pressing concerns. In the meantime, have you looked at BMGPX? It's not quite pocket query control, but it allows for downloading entire counties at a time. Max Often wrong but seldom in doubt Quote Link to comment
+berryzang Posted September 12, 2003 Author Share Posted September 12, 2003 Thanks! I'll try that. Big Red Dog Geocaching - It's not a hobby, it's a way of life. Quote Link to comment

It's not quite pocket query control, but it allows for downloading entire counties at a time. In addition it allows you to download the current data from NGS. The Geocaching site was loaded somewhere around 2000 and hasn't been updated. Quote Link to comment
+Team GeoDillo Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Hey Jeremy... Can you give us an estimated timeframe for getting pocket queries on benchmarks? Although I'm anxious to get BMPQs, I'm not trying to rush you, I just want to know when you expect to have it ready given the other more pressing changes that you're still making. Thanks...

RACooper Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Why not move this to the bugs/suggestions pinned thread? I belive it's already been requested (several times) with continued assurances from the admins that it is definitely in the works for Benchmarking.... Quote Link to comment
