+Frank22 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) I have a geotour downloaded as a GPS exchange file. There are 136 geocaches in the file. I'd like to change the file to a pocket querie. This way I can run the pocket querie with 'caches that i have not found'. Caches I have found will not be included in future running of the pocket querie. I have not found anyone who made a booklist of the geotour. I tried to attach the gps file but it is not accepted as a file type Regards Frank22 Edited April 1, 2018 by Frank22 misspelled word Quote Link to comment
RuideAlmeida Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 The best way is to create a new PQ from scratch, using all the geotour caches. I presume you are able to... Quote Link to comment
+JohnCNA Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 If you have GSAK you load the GPX file into that. Then run the update macro and it will update the status automatically for the Found caches, plus download updated cache logs each time you run it. You can filter out the Found caches if you wish. As well as filter out those that are disabled or archived. Quote Link to comment
+NYPaddleCacher Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 A pocket query consists of three parts: 1) a set of search criteria (which can be created using the PQ form) which selects what caches you want in your results. 2) the ability to save the search criteria and replay the search periodically (e.g. once a week), and 3) a results file, in GPX format, optionally compressed as a zip file. In this case, the OP already has a GPX file and just needs to send it to their GPS devise. Even if the file were put into a list, then saved as a PQ, that's not going to save the criteria used to creating the list of caches, thus any new caches added to the tour would not get added to the list. GSAK is basically just a waypoint manager (albeit, a very good one). EasyGPS/ExpertGPS, Basecamp, or ICaching (for a Mac) are others that can manage a list of waypoints and used to keep track of which caches in a list have been found. However, the ability to import a GPX file into a list might be a useful feature for some. Quote Link to comment
