Pocket Queries

[+Kelbylew]

Hi,

 

I have a pocket query that runs once a week and updates my location with any new caches etc. Nothing too special at all. These are then loved to my Etrex 30.

 

However, each cache that it saves only has 5 logs saved to each one. Is there a way of increasing the amount of logs that the query provides please?

In a PQ, no.

If you use the GPX file from the cache page, it will include the last 20 logs.

 

If you use GSAK, then every time you download a new PQ, it will save the older logs.

OK - thanks, doing a GPX for each would be very time consuming, and as a Mac user GSAK isn't an option.

iCaching has an option to download the past 10 or 20 logs, though I've found it to work with mixed success. For most caches, five logs are enough to determine if your DNF is on a missing cache, or you just can't find it. For the few that you need a longer log repository, just use your phone to access older logs.

You can run GSAK on a Mac. Best results are with Parelells, but others do it in other ways. There's a GSAK forum for discussing using GSAK on a Mac.
