Rostropovich Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 (edited) Just wondering what other peoples inputs are on now being able to search caches by their attributes. This may be the deciding factor for whether I upgrade to a PM. Edited February 9, 2008 by Rostropovich Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Just supporting the site with a mere $2.50 per month (annual $30 / 12) is reason enough for me. What a bargain!! On top of it I can do Pocket Queries and caches along a route. Nice bonus. Link to comment

+Markwell Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 There's two ways of answering the OP question. One is about the system and how it's working. The upgrade mentioned in the thread Michael linked is correct in saying that system is pretty darn good about retrieving the attributes correctly in pocket queries, if the data on the caches is correct and there. The other way of looking at the question focuses on the data and its usefulness. I still believe that attributes are under-utilized by cache owners, making the search results limited. I also believe that limiting the owners to only a select few attributes skews the data. Take a look at this post. Link to comment

Are you saying the attributes are now part of the generated GPX?If so, does GSAK, or any other software, make use of it? Can these attributes be transferred to the Colorado? Thank you, Edited February 9, 2008 by blackjack65 Link to comment
+Markwell Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Not yet... that's the next step. But at least the attribute selection process through the PQ interface is almost fixed. Link to comment
