+Rckhnd Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Trying to deal with the new maps issue by downloading ,LOC files. When I generate a query that has more than one page of caches (more than 20 caches), even though I click on 'check all' I only get the front 20 caches. I don't know if this is a Mac issue, and I had to delete MacCaching as it is only showing four or five of the caches in the LOC file. When I went through the 'preview results' page of my query, I went through all 7 pages on my preview checking all. When I got back to page one, the checked boxes were empty. If I'm limited to twenty caches per LOC file, it would be nice if I could choose what 20 to get, say, on a route rather than a circular distance. Quote Link to comment
+Team Taran Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Why are you trying to download loc files? You are right you can only download them 20 at a time but for me at least the major benefit of pocket queries is to be able to download large numbers (up to 1000) at a time. Create your query. When you are getting the results you expect choose a day for it to run. If you want it right a way, choose the current day of the week. Check this and submit the query again. You will get an email with a link to your query or you can go to your pocket query page and choose Ready to download. The zip you receive will contain 2 files on with cache info and the other with additional waypoints. If you need loc files you can make that choice when setting up your query but I think most programs that can display loc files on maps can do this with gpx files too. Quote Link to comment
+Bear and Ragged Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 "Download All" will only download all on that page... ie 20 caches. Quote Link to comment
ao318 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) If I'm limited to twenty caches per LOC file, it would be nice if I could choose what 20 to get, say, on a route rather than a circular distance. You are only allowed to download 20 at a time per page. You can pick and choose which of the twenty you want or take all twenty. Yet I see that you are a PM and you could either run a PQ of an area that you want or as you stated in your post, could create a route and have a more specific choice of caches to download. Edited due to auto correct of an iPad. Edited February 19, 2012 by ao318 Quote Link to comment
+Lil Devil Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 When I generate a query that has more than one page of caches (more than 20 caches), It sounds like you're looking at the "preview" of a Pocket Query instead of actually running it. Take a look at this instruction page, particularly step 5. Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I am moving this thread from the Bug Reports forum to the "How do I?" forum. Quote Link to comment
