Feature request: Favorite points as criteria in pocket queries

[+Depp Jones]

Since I didn't find such a proposal in the forum:

 

Please add the following criterias to the pocket queries:

 

• 
   
  
• Sort results by number of favorite points. Benefit: You can define a search radius and get a list of the highlight caches in this area. With existing tools you get to search a radius from coordinatesyou can define and then you can sort the result. But with the given result-maximum of 1000 you just might miss the most popular.
  
• Only show caches with a minimum of "xx" favorite points as a result. Benefit is much the same as above.
  

 

These two features would really improve my searches for when I'm planning a weekend trip or vacation

As you are a GSAK user: there is an interims solution.

Just do an Api refresh after loading the PQs. If you do that on a regular base, it might be suffice to do that based on a filter "Added Today". The refresh will give you FavPoints as well as images links (Spoilers).

Or use a macro FavCacheCounter.gsk

SUBMITTED (25008) - [FEATURE] Favorite Points in Pocket Queries and GPX

http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=286235

 

Please include favorite points in pocket queries and GPX data. It's been requested for quite some time.

 

You will notice that the title of this thread was changed to add "submitted".

 

Also note a moderator's post:

 

This feature (and several other GPX enhancements, such as addition of the nano size designation, personal cache notes, et al.) are underway and will be released soon after the start the of year once the necessary groundwork has been completed.

 

Also note that this is from 2011.

 

Perhaps adding your voice to that thread, instead of starting a new one, would add more weight to the request for action.

The button is there to sort the results of a pocket query. But please implement it bug-free. At the moment, if you click to sort a resultset of a pocket query for favorite points, then there are caches shown completly out of the original resultset range. Seems that conditions in the SQL statement are missing for that criteria. Please check.
