+msudave Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I plan to show my step son geocaching so I set up a new pocket query and it shows it ran this morning but still have nothing to download? Is there something I am missing? Quote Link to comment
+niraD Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 It sounds like you created the PQ, but you didn't actually run it. There are three basic steps to using PQs: Create the PQ - this defines the criteria for the caches you're interested in Run the PQ - this uses the defined criteria to save a copy of cache data on the server Download the PQ - this transfers the data from the server to your device A lot of people miss the "Run the PQ" step, but you can't download anything until you run the PQ. Generally this is done by selecting a day of the week to run the PQ. I have a few PQs that I run every day (e.g., solved unfound puzzles). This way, I can always download the PQ and have fresh data from when the PQ ran less than a day ago. I have a lot of PQs that I run only occasionally (e.g., caches near certain vacation destinations). For these, I select today's day, and then then they run right then so I can can download the PQ and have fresh data when I need it. Here's a good reference for the PQ process: http://www.markwell.us/pq.htm Quote Link to comment

Is there something I am missing? If it did really "run," be sure you don't have conflicting criteria, e.g. a cache can't be both Found and Unfound by you. Selecting both "That I found" and "That I haven't found" does not give you all the caches; it gives you none. Before you set a day to run, you can view the results to be sure you will get the caches you want. Quote Link to comment
