+minerals44 Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 We'd like to download our Pocket Query results as .gpx files. I check this option (.gpx) and make sure to .zip as recommended. No matter what I do the file goes to my Apple laptop as a .loc file (and we don't get the all important details of a cache page). Are we stuck with our clipboard forever? I'm using CacheMate and MacCMconvert. Everything works OK so long as I check the .gpx option on individual cache pages of geocaching.com. Has anyone else had this trouble? Is there a simple fix?

+DeskJocky Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 If I remember correctly .gpx and .zip are selected by default. Are you unchecking these boxes when they should stay checked? Link to comment
+Jamie Z Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 No matter what I do the file goes to my Apple laptop as a .loc file It sounds like you are attempting to download a GPX file. Except in the case of individual cache pages (as you noted) this cannot be done. Pocket Queries only arrive via email. You must set up your pocket query with the criteria you want, then choose a day (or several days) for the GPX file to be emailed to you. Then you will get a GPX file (or rather a zip file with GPX in it) in your mailbox. From there, you should be able to do something with Cachemate and MacCMconvert. (I don't know anything about those programs.) Jamie Link to comment
+minerals44 Posted March 13, 2005 Author Share Posted March 13, 2005 Interesting. I've been trying with the "run only once and discard" option. Will give the e-mailed files a try and see. Thanks ahead. Link to comment
+minerals44 Posted March 13, 2005 Author Share Posted March 13, 2005 Thanks for your help! That was exactly the problem ... the e-mail zipped .gpx files worked perfectly and we bagged an FTF this morning before breakfast. Link to comment
