+PeterBlake Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Hello, next year I will travel to Vancouver Island (Canada) for 3 weeks. Naturally, I will seach caches (only traditional caches). I will not have smartphone with internet, but I will use a garmin-gps. I know, how to export gpx-fies from geocaching.com and how to import into the garmin. But the gpx-file is restricted to 1000 caches. How is it possible to get a gpx-file with all traditonal caches from Vancouver island? best regards, Olaf Quote Link to comment
+HHL Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Create PQs splitted by date. Set the center point into the ocean and reduce to caches from Canada. Like this: Hans NB: I'll try to creat the first PQ for you. Just wait somes minutes. Clone this PQ and alter the dates accordingly.

+boisestate Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I would use multiple pocket queries using different Location Origins to get the "coverage" you are looking for. You can view each query on a map to make sure you're getting the area you need. I've used this method when visiting both Seattle and Portland. In Seattle, we had several queries that covered from Sea-Tac Airport all the way up to Edmonds PLUS I had a query for the caches on a route for the drive from Boise to Seattle. All of this was loaded on the Garmin, along with all the Boise caches, with no issues. You can customize your query for traditional caches only but I bet there are some pretty cool earth caches and virtual caches that would be worth checking out. I use a Garmin Oregon 600 loaded with queries, I haven't had a storage issue yet. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment
