+Gimpy Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 Noticed something strange today, that after I thought about it, probably makes sense. Headed out after a 2 parter, where the co-ordinates for the second part, were in the log book of the cache that is part 1. After logging part 1, I went into the PDA Pocket Query to get the info for part 2. Part 2 did not exist in the Query. Even though part 2 has its own GC number. After getting home, I went to the site, & sure enough, part 1 & 2 each have a cache page of their own. The only thing I can figure, is that because the listed cache page co-ordinates for each cache, are the co-ordinates for part 1, that part 2 doesn't get recognized. What it did with the GC number, is part 1 is GC9E89, & it assigned part 2, GC9E8A. Part 2 didn't come through on the GPX file or the PRC file, even though it has its own cache page. So I'm guessing that 2 caches with the same co-ordinates won't fly, but just in the Queries. Anybody else ever run into this? So if this is true, then when placing a 2 part cache of this nature, the listed co-ordinates for the second cache should be off by 1 number, with an explanation. Or have the info for both caches (except co-ordinates for part 2), on the part 1 cache page. Hope this made sense. First time since the Pocket Queries came out, that I wish I had printed the pages. Monday is an awful way to spend 1/7th of your life. Quote Link to comment
+nikcap Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 I just check out a Query I generated several weeks ago for (GC1159), (GC83BC),(GC3B32). They're all the same start point but are three different caches. So unless something happend in the last few weeks it sounds like you just got a bad query. Quote Link to comment
+Marky Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 I would guess that you are filtering out the second cache. Maybe the second cache is of type "unknown" and your pocket query doesn't have the unknown cache type checked. --Marky "All of us get lost in the darkness, dreamers learn to steer with a backlit GPSr" Quote Link to comment
