+KaiserKlan Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Our "found" list of geocaches spreads over many states and all the way to the UK. I would like to be able to do a pocket query for them all, but how can this be done? If you request it by by zip, or coordinates you can only do 500 miles out, is there a way to get the entire list without reverting to multiple queries? Link to comment
+yumitori Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 You can't do a single query for both caches in the United States and other countries due to the radio buttons used to select the area of the query, but you can select multiple countries or multiple states by holding the shift key down when you click on the second one. All those in between are included. Since you want to download your finds, this shouldn't be an issue. Link to comment
Jeremy Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Yes, it takes 2 queries, one to select all countries and the other to select all US states. Unfortunately (right now) if you have over 500 in either area, you can't get them all. However, I am looking at new features for Pocket Queries to allow you to get all the caches you found in one PQ. I haven't worked out the logistics but that is my goal. Link to comment

+Corp Of Discovery Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 It would be nice if we would get any found caches that have been archived etc. with a PQ also. Link to comment
Jeremy Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 It would be nice if we would get any found caches that have been archived etc. with a PQ also. Thanks. We'll definitely be including the archived caches. I mean, you found it. Right? Link to comment

We'll definitely be including the archived caches. I mean, you found it. Right? That would make quite a few people happy. Link to comment
+Byron & Anne Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 I really like the idea of a PC to include all my found caches. Thank you Jeremy in advance. Link to comment
+IV_Warrior Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Thanks. We'll definitely be including the archived caches. I mean, you found it. Right? THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. Looking forward to it. I keep a .gpx of my finds, and it's missing about 10. I think they're all archived caches, but haven't taken the time to go back through and make sure. Link to comment
+The Wet Coast Explorers Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Thanks. We'll definitely be including the archived caches. I mean, you found it. Right? Thanks a heap! That would answer my question about Pocket Queries and Archived Caches. I can't wait for all of these new improved GC.com features! Link to comment
+IV_Warrior Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Thanks. We'll definitely be including the archived caches. I mean, you found it. Right? This is still a great idea, and I'm looking forward to it. Any idea what timeframe we're looking at for this? Link to comment
Jeremy Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Any idea what timeframe we're looking at for this? Nothing specific, but I am currently working on Pocket Queries as we speak. Link to comment
+Draegon Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 ... I am looking at new features for Pocket Queries to allow you to get all the caches you found in one PQ. I haven't worked out the logistics but that is my goal. I've been meaning to request a PQ feature to include Travel Bugs found or unfound. It'd be real nice for us TB hunters. Link to comment
+sbell111 Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 (edited) Even breaking them down between US and non-US caches, you are still likely to run up against the 500 cache limit. When I ran my PQs for found caches, I further broke them down by date. This allowed my to get all of the info (except archived); I just had to use more PQs to get it. (Edited to fix some of the many typos.) Edited January 10, 2004 by sbell111 Link to comment
+Logscaler and Red Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 THANKS JEREMY!! I have been dreading trying to find all those found caches and then trying to get them all into one file. One little thing I would like to see with a "Found it" PQ. Would it be possible to also include the specific cachers "Found it" log for the cache? What I am looking for is if I do a PQ search for all my found caches, instead of having the 5 or 6 latest logs, I would just get my log entry only? If it is not tooooo much trouble that is. logscaler. Link to comment
