+ras_oscar Posted March 26, 2022 Posted March 26, 2022 I know there is an option to create a PQ from a list. Is there a way to easily create a list from a PQ? at present my process i as follows 1. Download PQ to my local computer 2. Upload the PQ to GSAK 3. create a new list in GSAK 4. upload the PQ caches to the list 5. download offline data the app Steps 1,2,and 3 process immediately. However, step 4 takes quite some time ( 2 seconds per cache x 2000 caches = just over an hour) I'm thinking that since steps 1 and 4 are coming from and going to the Groundspeak server, there should be a way to shortcut the process?

I do this at home, and once the app has caught up on list loading, generally download data for offline caching. 1 Quote
+ras_oscar Posted March 27, 2022 Author Posted March 27, 2022 Yes, but once the underlying PQ expires on the server ( about 7 days) the caches disappear in the app if you attempt to refresh the offline data. Not sure how often you run your queries, I do mine once a month. Quote
+Max and 99 Posted March 27, 2022 Posted March 27, 2022 (edited) I ran a PQ which is now a list on my app. Because of this post I wanted to see if I can make a copy of that list. The PQ says: For some reason your Pocket Query, OSU Geoart, yielded no results. But I don't know how to reconcile that with what I'm seeing on the app. Edited March 27, 2022 by Max and 99 Quote

I may be completely off the mark here but here's what I discovered. When I ran a PQ and it is now in my list in the app. I clicked on map the list (pq), then clicked on the option to add them all to a list, so now all those PQ caches are on a list that presumably will not go away after a week? Because of the size of the list and the mapping of them? I only caught two thirds of them but it did take just a few seconds. Edited March 27, 2022 by Max and 99 1 Quote
