Get pocket queries in GPX 1.0.1 format

It definitely shows 1.0.1 on my profile. I've checked it multiple times.

 

 

You can check if the GPX file is using 1.0.1 by opening it up with a text editor (notepad will work fine).

 

The second line will look like this:

<gpx xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 
     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="1.0" creator="Groundspeak Pocket Query" 
     xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0 http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0/gpx.xsd 
                         http://www.Groundspeak.com/cache/1/0/1 http://www.Groundspeak.com/cache/1/0/1/cache.xsd"
     xmlns="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0">

Note this portion of the line:  http://www.Groundspeak.com/cache/1/0/1/cache.xsd

 

That indicates that the GPX 1.0.1 schema is being used (you can open that link in a browser if you want to see what it looks like).  Note also the URL with topografix.com .  That's the basic GPX definition without any of the Groundspeak extensions.

I wondered this too. Whenever I open a PQ in GSAK it warns me that the file isn't in 1.0.1 format, even though my preferences are set to use 1.0.1.

Exact same reason why I am asking this. Got the message a week ago and changed the setting immediatly. When I imported a freshly generated PQ it warned me again. Wasn't expecting that.

Sure? Please check your profile. It might have been resetted to 1.0 :wacko:

Yup, checked multiple times. It is still set to 1.0.1.

PQs are always a GPX 1.0 version. The other GPX version is 1.1. Groundspeak uses the pseudo version 1.01 (which actually is a 1.0) to differ the GPX' content (attributes).

That explains the reaction of GSAK. Do you happen to know why it's always v1.0?

Hi all,

 

I appreciate the clarifications but I am still experiencing problems. My preferences are definitely set to 1.0.1. I have set them back to 1.0, saved, and then back again to 1.0.1, saved again, multiple times.

 

Here's a screenshot.

Yet, when I download a Pocket Query (both a My Finds, which I expect to stay at 1.0 based on what I've just read, and a regular PQ), this is what I get.

<gpx xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="1.0" creator="Groundspeak Pocket Query" 
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0 http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0/gpx.xsd http://www.Groundspeak.com/cache/1/0 
http://www.Groundspeak.com/cache/1/0/cache.xsd" xmlns="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0">

 

My account seems to be "stuck" at 1.0. Not sure what to do next. I can't do anything in GSAK that works with attributes.

 

Is this worth submitting a bug report?

When looking to my issue, I came across this topic.

I experience exactly the same.

Allthough gpx is set to 1.0.1 in my personal settings, attributes are not present in the generated PQ's
I know there is a workaround to get these via the API refresh call, but should be much easier if these are received with the PQ like it is supposed to work ;-)

When I receive a GPX, beginning looks as follows:

<gpx xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="1.0" creator="Groundspeak Pocket Query"
     xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0 http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0/gpx.xsd
     http://www.Groundspeak.com/cache/1/0 http://www.Groundspeak.com/cache/1/0/cache.xsd"
     xmlns="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0">

 

where it should contain the next to add te attributes in the generated PQ's

http://www.Groundspeak.com/cache/1/0/1 http://www.Groundspeak.com/cache/1/0/1/cache.xsd


Anyone has any idea on the reason for this behaviour?

I have this issue as well; never noticed it before because I didn't care about attributes in pocket queries until I came across a Challenge cache based on Attributes and wanted them to show in My Finds to transfer to My Geocaching Profile.  I first directed my question to mygeocachingprofile.com and they told me that geocaching.com had to fix it.  GC doesn't have a fix for it and directed me to this thread for the GSAK workaround.  Well, I don't use GSAK--as a Mac user I understand that I can't use GSAK--and I also understand that it has a significant learning curve, which I don't feel like tackling.  I'm not really looking for an answer here, basically just venting. Anyway, Project-GC says I qualify.  Another thought re GSAK -- I do have an old Android tablet; would GSAK work on that, if I do feel like trying?
