Lists of caches in different countries

[+walkergeoff and wife]

I wonder if there are lists, or other ways of downloading gpx files for individual countries? Obviously we can use the Pocket Query system but it would be nice if there were maintained lists for individual countries.

What do you mean? 1 GPX with all caches?

If you want to have all caches for a country you'll need database software (like GSAK) and create PQs per placed date (Jan 1, 2000 - Dec 31,2003 -- Jan 1, 2004 - Dec 31,2005 ...) max 1000/PQ. Once you have all caches (depending on the amount of caches this can take some time @10000 caches/day you will only need PQs for new caches to get the database up-to-date.

Of course, caches get archived so you will also need to do a "status check" on a regular basis so you can remove these caches.

 

I have all unfound Belgian caches in a database (24000+) and run 26 PQs every week and a status check every Monday. The day before a cachingtrip I "refresh" the caches selected for that day so they are also up-to-date.

Thanks for the reply. That's what I currently do and it works. Being lazy I wondered whether people maintain lists. rather like the Church Micro list, of different countries.

You can now Get Caches through the api with an area such as a country filter selected.

 

I'm unsure if there is a limit on quantity that you can import.

6000 with full description and 10000 "light" /24 hours

Bit confused here. Which api do you mean?

I probably thought I was responding in a GSAK forum and perhaps wasn't.

There's only one on GC

 

It allows software from API partners to connect to the GC database.
