+hampshirehunter Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 (edited) Hi, I'm a newbie. 1) I'm trying to download caches to my Garmin e Trek 10. 2) I presume I have to download PQ's to my laptop and then import into the eTrek. 3) I've selected 1000 caches to download (random large number) 4) I'm only downloading 9 caches. What am I doing wrong?? Thanks Charles charles_darwall@yahoo.com Edited July 21, 2012 by hampshirehunter Quote Link to comment
+Fryguy1111 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 How many caches are actually in your PQ? Selecting 1000 doesn't necessarily mean there will be 1000 in the PQ...depends on all of your parameters of the PQ. Check to see how many show up on the preview map of the PQ. Quote Link to comment
+Gitchee-Gummee Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 One should always check the preview before actually submitting the PQ. To do so... simply set all of the parameters except the day-to-run (leave it blank); [submit]; you may immediately check the top of the page for a link saying something akin to: "You may preview the query results..... ". If you are happy with that, then return to that page and check the day-to-run box and resubmit. If not well, then ya gots to figger out what ya did wrong. It's usually some self-cancelling parameters, i.e. "I Own" and "I Do Not Own". Quote Link to comment

What am I doing wrong?? Thanks Charles charles_darwall@yahoo.com I just looked at your screenshot again......... The download you show IS NOT a PQ, it is a My Finds Query. That is why it returns nine (9). DO NOT use the [Add To Queue] button for a PQ. That button runs a My Finds Query. It will only return those that you have found. Quote Link to comment
+GeePa Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 It also appears that you have not checked any boxes for a day to run the pocket query. A given pocket query can only be run once a day with a maximum of five different queries per day. Quote Link to comment
+hampshirehunter Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 Fryguy1111 and Gitchee-Gummee Thanks so much!! you're correct! Appreciate your speedy commentary!

Mr.Yuck Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 It also appears that you have not checked any boxes for a day to run the pocket query. A given pocket query can only be run once a day with a maximum of five different queries per day. True, the OP was trying to run a myfinds pocket query. But beware of the above. You have to check the boxes for when to run the query. Which I've always considered confusing myself, and I've seen many a new person do wrong. If you don't check those boxes, that PQ will never arrive. Quote Link to comment
