+mchaos Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Ok, I got my self a megellan triton 400 for christmas. It supports GPX and has geocaching built in. So I don't need LOC files any more. Here is my question. When you search for caches by zip code, then check boxes, how to download those as gpx?? It always comes up as a loc download. Is there a preference some where I can make it give it to me as gpx? Quote Link to comment

Is there a preference some where I can make it give it to me as gpx? It called a Pocket Query. The only way to get a .gpx is to run a Pocket Query or download from the page directly. As you have discovered the search listing only downloads .loc files. Jim Quote Link to comment

Create a new PQ with the same criteria and set it to run today (copy) - it will run within 5 minutes (typically) - no need to wait a week. Be sure to select GPX this time! Quote Link to comment
+vwaldoguy Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 You can run up to 5 pocket queries every day. Just run this one the next day, or just create another PQ, and run it immediately. Quote Link to comment
+mchaos Posted December 26, 2008 Author Share Posted December 26, 2008 thanx. I thought I may have to do that. Was just hoping there was a one click solution. Quote Link to comment
