+kwcahart Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 I would like to do searches and build pocket queries that I can "exclude caches found by "_username__". The reason is that I cache with a friend a lot and I don't want us to go looking for caches he has already found. I could then do a PQ around where he lives and exclude caches found by him, and we could look for caches not found by either of us, and when he visits me we could do the same thing here. I put this on the feedback forum, but what do you all think of it?? Quote Link to comment
+two bison Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 A fine and useful idea. It should have the ability to include several names for when caching with a group of 4, for example. Quote Link to comment
+Walts Hunting Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 One must chant this three times so as to never forget it. "GSAK" ALL questions regarding the manipulation of waypoints have the same answer GSAK. Go to the GSAK forum, click Master Macro Index, type in "Group" and choose which solution works for you.

+wimseyguy Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 But it sure would be nice if this website allowed you to do that too. Quote Link to comment
+Walts Hunting Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 If you added in all the features requested just in the last year the server would grind to a halt. One guy even requested the ability to run SQL queries against the database. The froggie's approach seems to be to give you all the info on each cache and leave it to after market programs to manipulate and it is a good strategy since the requests for "gee I wish the PQ's would do this" are unending. The GSAK support community is pretty amazing and when people make those esoteric requests (that nobody but them will probably ever use) someone jumps in and does it. Quote Link to comment

+two bison Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 http://feedback.geocaching.com/forums/7577...ose-of-a-friend I find the Feedback site to be, for the most part, useless. I've learned things here in the Forums while the Feedback site has too few replies per page and too few useful comments per topic. Quote Link to comment
+two bison Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Ditto the response from Walts Hunting...GSAK is your solution. GSAK is not, in this case, a solution. I have some non-tech-savvy caching friends who I like to take with me on cache runs. I don't need to filter out their finds, I need them to filter out mine. They often have trouble even getting the correct similar pocket query run and into their pda and gps units. Then they want to stop at every cache they haven't found in an area where I've cached more often. And, no, the solution is not new friends. The solution is the other-cachers filter in the pocket query. I'd have the greatest chance of success getting them to do that. Quote Link to comment
