+H2"O" Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I try to keep up to date with my nearby states but it's not neccessary to run the PQ weekly for this, monthly is plenty. I do it manually now but an option when creating the PQ would be nice. It would also reduce the load on the servers if others are running them weekly for no reason. Quote Link to comment
AZcachemeister Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Seems like a reasonable idea I could find useful. Considering the long list of other useful PQ generation updates/enhancements that have been requested (but not implemented), I'm not hopeful. Quote Link to comment
+t4e Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 useless monthly, too many things that shouldn't be ignored happen in a week, nevermind a month PQ's ahould be fresh when you go out Quote Link to comment
+H2"O" Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 I keep weekly PQs going for my immediate area but try to keep my nearby states (the ones we go to on vacations and long weekends) up to date by running PQs monthly. I haven't yet had a monthly PQ go past the 1000 cache limit...not even close. If that were to happen, I'd take a closer look. Quote Link to comment
+t4e Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 maybe i'm not seeing what you're trying to do but wouldn't make more sense to run a fresh PQ just before going to those places? Quote Link to comment
+H2"O" Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 I do that, but the way we decide where to go is by looking for nice groupings so that we can spend all day hiking in one or two parks and repeat through the week. By keeping my GSAK databases reasonably current, I can see (on DeLorme) where there might be good places to spend some time. Once we pick a place, then I do a fresh PQ of that area before heading out. Quote Link to comment
+t4e Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 ooh ok that makes sense for your way of planning Quote Link to comment
+H2"O" Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 (edited) OK so now I see that a monthly option is there...was it always?? If so, I'm a dunce! Edited December 18, 2011 by H2"O" Quote Link to comment

+The A-Team Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 OK so now I see that a monthly option is there...was it always?? If so, I'm a dunce! there is? Yeah, I'm confused too. The only option I can see that relates to a month is the "Placed during...the last month". That has nothing to do with how often the PQ will run, though. Quote Link to comment
+Fianccetto Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Another vote for the auto PQ per month option, please. Quote Link to comment
+H2"O" Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 Sorry, I was wrong YET AGAIN!!! No monthly option, I was rushing through a PQ before heading out for the day and thought it was there. Quote Link to comment
+texasgrillchef Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I would love this... In the monthly option we need to options... 1. Run on a specific day each month. Such as run on the 12th of the month every month. 2. Run on a specific day based on weekday each month. Example: Run on the 2nd Tuesday of every month. TGC Quote Link to comment
+babynoneck Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Hi! I´d like to create a PQ on a monthly basis for a region i don´t do caching very often. Now i have to start the PQ manually, as needed. As i use "GSAK" as cachemanager, it would be nice if this could be automized. If the new GXP structure is implemented and you can select fav points when creating PQs, this would be an option to generate a PQ with qualitycaches (let´s say, over 100 fav points). This PQ needn´t to run on a weekly basis, once a month should be enough. Yours, babynoneck Quote Link to comment
