They should just go in the GPX folder. Is this the first time this has happened? Do other GPX files work ok? When you view the PQ on the website do the caches show up? Quote
+TheLoneGrangers Posted April 25, 2011 Author Posted April 25, 2011 this is the first time i attempted a pocket query..i have been loading the caches individually but finally decided to try it like this. over the last couple of days i individually loaded all the caches near where i am right now, none of them are saved. I have read somewhere about there being a limit to the amount of gpx files in the dakota, so i have cut all of the 1000+ gpx files out and attempting the pocket query file again Quote
+TheLoneGrangers Posted April 25, 2011 Author Posted April 25, 2011 sorry two seperate issues. the reason i have finally tried the PQ is because all the caches I sent to the gpsr individually over the last couple of days are not showing up. but now the PQ caches arent appearing. Quote
+TheLoneGrangers Posted April 25, 2011 Author Posted April 25, 2011 (edited) ok that didn't work, now I have ZERO caches in the dakota....wierd, the pq i ran was based off coords of where I am, picked all caches I haven't found and that are enabled, got the gpx file from my email and saved it in the right spot. I did a preview of query and it shows all the ones around me...so i did query right...frustrating Edited April 25, 2011 by TheLoneGrangers Quote
+CacheFreakTim Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 Wipe everything out of the GPX folder. If you are on a Mac you will need to empty the trash at this time. After this try the GPX file again. If it still doesn't work do you have another gps to test the GPX file? Just curious if it really does have anything in it or if it's corrupted. This will at least tell us if the problem is the gps or the PQ. Quote
+TheLoneGrangers Posted April 25, 2011 Author Posted April 25, 2011 ok...wipe even the sub folders? Quote
+TheLoneGrangers Posted April 25, 2011 Author Posted April 25, 2011 nothing worked and I can't run another PQ.......omg I am so freakin mad....have to sit here and load them individually Quote
+CacheFreakTim Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 Why can't you run another? You should be able to do 5 a day. If you have others try them. We need to rule out either the GPS or the PQ's and the only way to do that is try another PQ or another GPS. Quote
+TheLoneGrangers Posted April 26, 2011 Author Posted April 26, 2011 well i know what i was doing wrong, I ran the "my finds query" LOL i just figured out that you have to select the day of the week....im in my hotel room and the gpsr is in the vehicle....so ill have to wait until tomorrow afternoon, but I think it will work.
