Help With Setting Filters

I've got a registered version of GSAK and am a premium member. But I'm having a devil of a time getting filters set so I can download the caches into my pda or my gps.

 

I've opened the set filters box and only want to download certain caches a certain distance from me.

 

How in the heck do I get it to do that? It keeps telling me Sorry, this filter contains 0 caches. Filter will not be set. What am I doing wrong??

 

I want all the caches that I have in this database that are less than 50 miles from the centre point.

 

Any help would be great appreciated!!!

I am not sure how to include an image here so....leave everything the same as the default changing only DISTANCE to LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO and type in 50 at the box that will appear to the right. Make sure FOUND status is how you want it.

 

The other thing is to check that your CENTRE POINT is set to your home by putting in your home waypoints uner Tools > Options setting it to Home, N 41 XX.XX, W 088 XX.XXX

 

Hope this helps.

Here is a picture of the filter-screen with the fields ringed in

I've always wondered why those other filters kick in when I enter a Distance filter value. I find that annoying at times... Maybe if I knew why it was happening, it wouldn't annoy me as much. :mad:

Not sure what you mean by kick in. All of the date filters only highlight in yellow when they are not equal to the current date. They have nothing to do with the distance setting.
