+acompofelice Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Is there a way to create a pocket query that keeps track of the location/status of my owned trackables (travel bugs, etc)? Couldn't see a way to do this in the PQ creator. Quote Link to comment
+NanCycle Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I don't know about using a PQ for this, but I keep the caches that my trackables are in on my watchlist. That's the only thing I use the cache watchlist for; any other caches I want to watch I bookmark. Quote Link to comment

Your inventory does show their current location. Quote Link to comment
+mpilchfamily Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Any time your tracakbles are moved you automatically get an email. What more are you looking for? You can watch the cache if you want but if it goes missing you won't know till someone mentions it in a log on the cache or you get an email indicating the CO marked it as missing.

+Gitchee-Gummee Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 You don't see a way to do it with a PQ because a PQ is not designed to "watch things". It is designed for active caches, thus it is meant to be utilized in active caching, not "inactive" or "passive" caching. Sometimes they (the severs that supply Pocket Queries) become overburdened. If everybody were to use it to "watch" things, then things would slow to a crawl, making a slug look like a Ferrari. As a TB owner, you receive an email every time one of your trackables is logged. If you aren't getting the emails, check your spam filter. Quote Link to comment

+acompofelice Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 I'm really trying to keep a database of my trackables so I can load it into GSAK. PQs are the easiest way to load the data into the program Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I'm really trying to keep a database of my trackables so I can load it into GSAK. PQs are the easiest way to load the data into the program TBs don't have a lot of options. Doing things like downloading data to do your own mapping as far as I'm aware, isn't an option. Neither is downloading a current status. It would nice, wouldn't it? Quote Link to comment
