+Firefishe Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Hello. I am trying to solve a problem that has me purplexed. I set up a Pocket Query to find only Found Geocaches, and have it set to sort them form my home coordinates and in my home state of Michigan only. When I have the Query parameters set, I click Submit, it does its thing, and returns me to the new page as usual. The problem comes up after this. I do a Preview search, and I only get 60 caches coming up, when I have 79 showing on my profile. I bought and use the CacheMate application for my Tungsten T PDA (PalmOS) to keep track of my caches. The way CacheMate works is that you use a desktop application to convert the PQ .gpx file (MacCMConvert in my case, as I use a Macintosh) to a .pdb (Palm Database) file that CacheMate can use. You then HotSync the file to the PDA. CacheMate senses when a new upload has been done, and converts the new file to a category that you select, in this case, I use "Found," as this reflects the Pocket Query. I also find I have 60 geocaches and not the 79 my stats profile is showing that I have. Can anyone tell me why my Pocket Queries are only returning 60 Found (filtered) caches when I know I have 79? Thanks and Warm regards from, Quote Link to comment
+SeventhSon Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Archived caches will not show up in a PQ, so that may explain it. 7 Quote Link to comment

You realize, of course, that 19 caches would've had to have been archived. If it turns out that's not the case, do you know of any other possibilities that would account for the numerical discrepancy? Thanks for the quick response. Warm regards, Quote Link to comment
