Who is aware of the north american time zone the pocket query servers work?

Wed, 26 Jul 2017 11:01:44 +0000

In my case it was not possible to start a pocket query on a certain day, because the pocket query servers in the USA follow their own time zone.

Example: here in Germany we are 9 hours "later" than in the pacific timezone and this leads to:

All queries which are started on a saturday morning before 9:00 o'clock and checked for execution on Saturday will not execute before saturday is reached in the pacific timezone. This is the case at 9:00 o'clock CET. When knowing this helps you to overcome the problem: you simply must check the box to execute these queries on friday.

My additional idea is to speak with geocaching.com, to explain this problem, and ask them for a workaround.

create pocket query or export cache list for one degree in 360° challenge

Is it possible to create a pocket query or export a cache list for one degree in a 360° challenge?

Or is there any other possibility to get the caches in the one degree sector?

GPX of recently archived caches (for GSAK)

Thu, 26 Nov 2015 18:33:32 +0000

Hi!

Would it be possible to create GPX files of archived Caches (Filter criteria should include a date range for the archive log, or something like "archived during the past 3 months")?

It would be helpful to get these caches in an GPX, as they are not included in Groundspeak PQs, and archived caches stay in my GSAK until I find them with some filter, refresh them, and delete them.

If I had a GPX file with archived caches, then I would import the GPX into GSAK, and as a result GSAK would have the update.

A wonderful extra feature would be, if I would get an archived GPX on all PQs that I receive regulary from Groundspeak. All I would have to enter is the time frame (e.g. caches that have been archived during the past 3 months). So the filter of my PQ would be read, and from that filter I would get caches that have been archived in the past 3 months. That would make it really simple to update GSAK!

Possible to add to created GPX

Since GSAK and also c:geo supportting the "<gsak:FavPoints>" -tag it would be nice to include this in the GPX files created from the Virtual GPS so the number of favorite points can be shown directly in c:geo, GSAK, (...?), not only in the first log entry.

I asked the same thing a while ago in the forum, but there the question is still unanswered.

Caches needed to fill "hidden by month" to a bookmark list (or pq or export)

Thu, 13 Aug 2015 08:26:59 +0000

As the title says: It is very easy to get a list of caches needed to complete something, but I can only get it "to screen". I am not seeing a "export this list to file", "generate PQ from this" or "generate Bookmark List" or similar.

Any hint?

Is there any option to create PQ for whole country and then PQ caches publicate after a date?

Mon, 29 Jun 2015 10:38:24 +0000

Like in topic - I like to create PQ for a whole county 24000 caches and then I want to create PQ for a caches publicated after a date I make this first PQ.
I dont like to go for spontanic trip and dont have all caches on road and on my place where I stay for a while :)

In addition to .gpx-, .csv, could it be possible to make PQs from VGPS?

I am often using an iPhone with the official app, and it would be very useful to be able to download a PQ generated from VGPS
