+UncleSamNZ Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Hi I am having problems doing a Pocket query. I thought I was doing everything right, but it comes up with 0. I'm wanting to do a once off pocket query for my current location in New Zealand for my Magellan explorist 310. Can anyone help. Cheers Sam Quote Link to comment

If you are downloading the pocket query straight from GS.com then you just need to download it to your desktop and decompress the zip file and then copy only the .gpx file, not the *wpts.gpx to the Geocache directoy on your eX310. I hope this helps. Also, I would invite you to join the Magellan users form at http://www.magellaninsiders.com David Magellan Insider/Beta Tester Quote Link to comment

Unable to get any records to show! But another problem you might be able to help with is. I am putting in a way point, new coordiantes, I check them, but then it wants to take me 50k's in a different direction? unsure what I'm doing wrong there? Quote Link to comment
+AndyT1 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 You are probably choosing a set of criteria that cancel one another out - "I have found" and "I have not found" will do this. Quote Link to comment

Hi, did another try...still zero :-( Try looking at the PQ again - veeerrry carefully. Look at each block and check what you have selected. Or... start a new one. This may fix something you are not seeing on your current one. Quote Link to comment
+AndyT1 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) Also check the coords of your current location - selecting W instead of E for instance might have you in the middle of the ocean. Don't ask me how I know this........ Edited January 4, 2013 by AndyT1 Quote Link to comment
+Cacheoholic Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) Make sure you do not check the day of the week before submitting the PQ because you can only run 5 a day. This allows you to run as many PQ’s as you need to experiment and click the preview link to check your results. The only way to know what’s causing the issue is to know what options you have selected. Posting screen shots of your PQ or a list of selections would help.
