We can try.  What kind of pocket query are you trying to create?  Is it based off search parameters, or a bookmark list, or a route?

The most common problem is specifying two conflicting criteria in your PQ. For example, specifying both "I haven't found" and "I have found", or specifying "I don't own" and "I own". Since no cache can be both "I haven't found" and "I have found", the results will be empty if you specify both.

What do you mean by "the gpx file"?  Do you mean that you preview the Pocket Query and see 0 results?

 

Post the Pocket Query's web address and I could look at the settings.

I attempted the same PQ, except I did not make a selection regarding Difficulty or Terrain. I also omitted a selection regarding the date placed. My query returned 150 results.

There may be zero geocaches which fit your date range, or the D/T you selected.

Are you selecting "Placed During... Between" and not changing the default dates? By default, the date period is only the last 7 days. Looking at the caches within 7 km of GC38XD0, none have been placed during the last 7 days (the most recent was 29 July), so that would likely be why you aren't getting any results.

 

I'd recommend the following:

• Leave "Placed During" at "None Selected"
• You don't need to check the Difficulty and Terrain boxes if you aren't changing the defaults.

.gpx is Geocaches, -wpts.gpx is waypoints such as parking places and cache stages.  For a Garmin GPS, place both files into the Garmin/GPX folder.

I have a question: when I try to create a pocket query, the "Waypoint License Agreement" page opens. After I read (briefly) agreement, tick the box on the bottom and press "Submit" I have a "Server Error" - "Error 500 Your request resulted in an error. Please check Geocaching on Twitter for updates. We apologize for the inconvenience.".

Any help here?

Okay, the pocket query page opens now, but when I try to run it to query my finds it shows that query result has 0 caches within 500 miles from home.

If you're creating a Pocket Query, and have read this thread and still have zero results, post the URL of the Pocket Query.  Someone could look at it and see if there's a setting that may be adjusted.

 

If you're trying to get a Pocket Query of caches you've found, try a "My Finds" PQ.  It has no distance limit.

Thanks @kunarion, I didn't notice the button below. I Clicked it and not long after I received the email. Now, I'm thinking about examples, what the pocket queries can be useful for too. Cheers.
