PQs limited to 500 miles

[+Deepdiggingmole]

I have searched the forum for this topic - but didn't seem to find an answer

I understand that in the pocket query function there is a limitation on the distance allowed for any PQ namely 500 miles

I have a weekly PQ for my own caches which I then use to refresh a list in GSAK

However for me with my 'My owned' list I am always missing one cache - an Earthcache which is just short of 2000 miles (ATCF) from my Home location.

I understand why there is a restriction but surely cant this be balanced against how many caches you are requesting in your PQ

My list consists of only 10 caches and so is not generating a lot of information but is still missing that one cache.

Is there a reason why this cant be done

thanks

Edit your PQ and set:

Within: > Countries > Select the countries where your caches are in
From Origin: > None Selected

Another approach:
Search for your caches > https://www.geocaching.com/play/search?ot=4&owner[0]=Deepdiggingmole
Select all and move it to a Bookmark List. Now make a PQ from that BM list.

Another approach:
Filter for your caches in GSAK.
Menu > Geocaching.con access > Refresh cache data ... (no need for a PQ at all)

I have a bookmark list for our caches and run PQs against it occasionally.  It captures all of our hides, even though we have some in Germany, one in Norway, and many spread throughout the USA.
