Silly question. Does anyone know how to build a pocket query by cache owner/placer?? Want to find a certain owners cache.
04/20/2012 at 9:17 pm #1959787This won’t give you a PQ, but it will show you the caches of another: go to: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/default.aspx ,
and enter their name into the “Hidden by Username:” box at bottom left, and then punch ‘GO’. Good luck!04/20/2012 at 9:56 pm #1959788Thanks!!
04/20/2012 at 9:59 pm #1959789I guess I could make a bookmark too…although that would be a chore..Things we do for adventure!

Using GSAK this might be a doable option and then you could autocreate a bookmark list, or pull down additional cache details. I haven’t actually tried it, but I’m thinking it might work.
04/21/2012 at 5:21 pm #1959791Isn’t GSAK great? It works great for downloading caches owned by an individual.
Start with an empty database and click “Geocaching.com access” and then “Get geocaches”. Click the “Advanced” tab and fill in the Owned by field.
I just tested it out for caches owned by CJ. Less than a minuted from start to finish.04/22/2012 at 3:29 am #1959792@Team Black-Cat wrote:

I was thinking you could download the LOC file with 20 caches at a time. Doing this through GSAK though provides a whole lot more options. Great catch on GSAK TBC.
04/22/2012 at 12:46 pm #1959793I have been using GSAK for 5 years and I havent mastered it yet. Where is the geocaching.com access selection???

You need Version 8 of GSAK.

This is a menu option near the right edge of the menu bar.

It has the menu label “Geocaching.com Access”.
04/23/2012 at 9:06 pm #1959797So I made the 5$ upgrade to v8. This is sooo much better now. The only thing I am wondering is if you can narrow your search field by fav points also??? I know I am asking a lot.hehe
04/23/2012 at 9:57 pm #1959798That feature is coming sometime, but I’m not sure if favorite points is part of the API yet.
04/24/2012 at 1:36 am #1959799Geocaching.com access menu, Get caches- from drop down menu, then select the Advanced tab. Bottom choice is Fav point value.
04/24/2012 at 3:48 am #1959800Well, look at that! It just keeps getting better.
