+roverschmidt Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I was able to put Pocket Queries on my GPS but not the files have errors and will not go on. Did something get changed? Quote Link to comment
+Walts Hunting Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Need more info. What GPS? Are you using gpx 1 or 1.01? What is the gc number of the problem one? Quote Link to comment
+roverschmidt Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 I have tried both and neither work I am using 1.01 now. I can download caches individually but not query anymore. Quote Link to comment

+Pax42 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 earthmate pn-60 You should be using 1.0 for the Delorme. What method are you using to load the PQ? Quote Link to comment

+roverschmidt Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 ok I went and checked and I am using 1.0. The pocket queries I have saved are the ones that were the ones I was using and they no longer work. I pick a zipcode and set up a pocket query and I get an email. I use to plug my GPS into the computer after receiving a email and it would load but not anymore. I have tried redoing the pocket queries and nothing. If I download the queries into saved GPX files I get two files instead of just one and there are numbers before and after the name (it is usable but I dont like them like that). What am I doing wrong or what has changed? Thanks Quote Link to comment

+Gitchee-Gummee Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I believe with the PN-60, you should be using either Cachemate or Topo9 to load from your computer to your unit. Topo9 came with your PN-60 (if it was purchased new), Cachemate is a one-time download from Delorme. Quote Link to comment
+Pax42 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I assume Gitchee Gummee meant "Cache Register" rather than Cachemate, however neither program is absolutely needed with the PN-60. When you get the email with the zipped file, unzip it and you'll have 2 files. One is the main cache file and one is the child waypoints for the cache file. If you don't care about the child waypoints, just plug the PN into the PC and go to settings>connect to computer> use SD. A new drive appears on your PC. Drag and drop the cache file into the waypoints folder. If you want both the cache file and child waypoints together on the PN, you'll have to use Topo 9 that came in the box or download cache register for free from Delorme and use that. Of course GSAK is another option. Quote Link to comment
+roverschmidt Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 Thanks for the help Pax42, I did try GSAK didn't really like how it looked loaded with the two files. I didn't know the what they were thanks for explaining if I would have known I didn't need both probably would have stuck to that anymore problem I will go back to that. I found a person with the same problem as me had something to do with a filmware up date. I removed TOPO NorthAmerica 9.0 from my computer redid all my pocket queries and started over. The person I found said files in GPS before that update didn't work together. I don't know but it worked today all 8 of my queries went on the GPS so I will see if they continue to update.

+roverschmidt Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 no I never had to do anything once the file said ready to download it just updated by its self when I opened topo 9.0 and logged on to geocaching.com Quote Link to comment
+embra Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Sounds like you're squared away. I thought I'd just comment that while the gpx files can be placed directly in the PN-60 (or on the SD card) that there's an advantage in doing it like you do in Topo9 or using CacheRegister (or GSAK, for that matter). Either of those applications will combine the two gpx files for each pocket query into a single file on the GPS, so you can have caches and their child waypoints open at the same time.
