+edexter Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Is there a simple way to create a pocket querry for your favorites? Quote Link to comment
+Touchstone Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Available PQ filters: https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=7&pgid=261 I'm guessing the solution will probably involve Project GC or GSAK. If you're using the official App, you can do some sorting of Favorites on the fly. Quote Link to comment

That worked great! From my account's Favorites List, I selected "Copy List", then "Create Pockete Query", then selected the options and submitted the new PQ. Pretty easy.

Nice try. But that will not work with Favorite Lists > 1000 as PQs and BM Lists have a limit of 1000. Hans Quote Link to comment

I could delete those Favorites if it would then get below 1000. But rather than a "Pocket Query", persons might just like to see search results that show them all (without limit), so that would be a feature beyond what a Pocket Query or List might have the capacity to show. In that case look at helper software as Touchstone previously mentioned. Edited October 20, 2019 by kunarion Quote Link to comment

But there will be a lot of other geocachers where Frau Potter's workaround will still not work. Quote Link to comment

Sure and it is only a work-around not an overall solution. I fully agree with you. But in fact I don't know if this is something that really bothers too many geocachers - I (for example) don't need this feature and noone told me before that he needed it. So perhaps this work-around that works for most cachers will do (for now)? You could still make your own lists (my favourites 1, my favourites 2, ...) which is a little bit of handwork but it works if needed. I think there are more important things to improve helping everyone (and I do not think of new souvenirs), so I wouldn't give this new feature too much importance. Quote Link to comment
+edexter Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 Thanks for the help guys. I was able to make a copy of My Favorites, then create a pocket querry and upload to GSAK. Just what I wanted to do. Quote Link to comment
