+jacob501 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 When you create a route on geocaching.com it says that you can either make a pocket query of the route or create GPX of a route. I clicked GPX and nothing happened? Is something supposed to happen?? Or can you only do Pocket Queries? Quote Link to comment
+jellis Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 (edited) are you creating a route? Go to your Pocket Query Page 3 options: Create a pocket query Find caches along a route How to Create a Pocket Query. Choose Find caches along a route. You can either find a route created by another cacher that is what you plan on doing or Create a New Route Give your route a name Next will give you instructions on how to create a route or just enter to cities in the boxes. Then you adjust the distance how far off the route the search should be. Then save the route. It will now show up in your routes where you first started saying(Find caches along a route) Your created Routes Edited June 20, 2011 by jellis Quote Link to comment
+jellis Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 What kind of GPS do you have? Depending on the GPS you can upload your .gpx either directly into gps or you will need a tool like GSAK or Easygps to upload. Quote Link to comment
+jellis Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 You would end up with files like this and then you create a PQ from it Quote Link to comment

My route is in Manhattan. As in New York City. Zero caches? Of course, I also did not know you could only make 5 PQs a day, since that info is not shown by the "Create PQ" button. So even if I could get an actual route with a cache on it, I couldn't PQ it today anyway. HELP! Thank you. Edited August 20, 2011 by Wet Knives Quote Link to comment
+Markwell Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Criteria. Make sure you're checking All Cache Types. Quote Link to comment
+Quest1962 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Criteria. Make sure you're checking All Cache Types. That is pre-checked, and I left it alone. All of the pre-checked "category" boxes are checked. Do I have to check the terrain/difficulty also? They are not, but I assumed the default would be "any", even though there is no designation. Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment
