Locus multiple caches

[+Alastor09 0]

I started using Locus on my phone but something annoys me. I downloaded caches to it (firstly nearby then with other coordinates) but it downloaded the same cache what i've already have. I mean it downloaded new ones as well but there are some with multiple caches which are the same. Isn't there a way to avoid it not to download caches that are already downloaded?

 

Edit: Problem solved, I put the caches on it in a wrong way..

It doesn't know what caches you have already. I clear the database before doing a new download. You can also create a new db and import into that. I don't know of any device that will do what you are asking.

Hi,

 

I think it is a setting thing. When we try to download an already existing cache, Locus Pro asks what to do, thus no duplicates in the DB...

Alastor, are you importing caches into same folder? If so, Locus should ask if you want to overwrite existing cache or not. You may also use this settings http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php/manual:settings:geocaching - "Keep data during import" that allow to keep your own waypoints, notes, etc. even if you overwrite old cache with new
