Pocket Queries

[+marander15]

I have recently purchased a Garmin Oregon 650T and have no problem downloading individual caches. However, after generating a Pocket Query I can't seem to download all the caches at once - I can only do them one at a time. Is there some sort of trick that I'm missing?

Are you downloading from the second tab "Pocket Queries Ready for Downloading" on this page: https://www.geocaching.com/pocket/

OK, I tried that and sure enough it told me that one of my PQ's was ready for down-loading - my problem now is how to get it going, as I don't see any way to do it. I tried selecting it using the little box at the left-hand end of the line but nothing seemed to happen! I also tried clicking on the name of the PQ but all that did was to display a load of code! I really don't want to download the caches one at a time - please can you help me?

What operating system and browser are you using?

 

Left-click the PQ link and, for example in Windows and Internet Explorer, you are offered the options to open or save the "Zip" file, and you select "save" and choose a folder to save it in. Or right-click the link to save the file. Unzip and place it (typically two GPX files once unzipped) into the Garmin/GPX folder of the Garmin Oregon.

I'm using Internet Explorer in Windows 10. I'm not sure what you mean by 'Left-click the PQ link' - if I left-click on the (underscored) name of the PQ then I get back to the PQ input screen, right-clicking on it does nothing!

 

I've now been trying your suggestions all morning and think I'm nearly there! I got the two GPX files and put them in the Garmin/GPX folder (I assume you meant GPX, not PPX?). Now what do I have to do in order to save all the caches?

 

Success at last!! Thank you Kunarion, Walts Hunting and Bear and Ragged.

Yes, "GPX".
