PQs download errors....


Recommended Posts

.... for a start they output LOC files instead of the requested GPX, they wont email to a secondary email address as requested, when they output to the primary both formats withing the zip are GPX although quite plainly the second gpx is (by size) a LOC, Most boxes in the request are left to default, but I check not found by me and not owned by me, but when i load the gpx file into my Gaming it shows caches found by me and not caches not found by me, anyone else getting this?

When you mark a cache as found in your garmin, it stays there.  So those that you have found might just be still in the device.

 

There are filters on your garmin, so maybe you have them set as well?

 

You could open the file on your computer (GPX is really just a comma separated text file) and see if it actually includes what you want?  That would eliminate the device from the troubleshooting.

A PQ when unzipped has two parts.

1. query name.gpx

2. query name.wpts.gpx

 

1 is the main part of the cache information, cache info etc.

2 is the waypoints for the cache, parking, stages of a multi etc.

 

Both files need to be loaded to get all of the information for the cache.

 

Make sure ALL old PQs and cache information are cleared from your GPS...
