    Hello, I just can’t win with these silly pocket query’s. I run my query and it claims it will email it to me, which it doesn’t. I see 2 tabs, active query and query ready for download. How do I get a query ready to download? I have been downloading a page of 20 at a time through the preview query. When I’m trying to download my search of 300, this is a pain. Will someone please school me in the art of pocket queries?

    First click on the tab for Query Ready fo Download, then click on the name of your pocket query. You’ll get a menu allowing you to save it to your computer. It’ll be saved as a zip file that you can load onto GSAK and from there to your gps unit. Hope that helps.

    Or, if you don’t have GSAK (I had to Google it to even see what it was), you can unzip the file from your computer and connect to your GPSr to transfer them. I’m being very “general” here. Specific instructions vary depending on the make and model of your GPSr.

    I’m able to create pocket queries and receive them via e-mail. However my problem is creating GPX files – when I download my query it always wants to create a loc file.

    I found this info and will have to study it and try again:

    CC, you might be running into the lmit on number of caches that can be downloaded via e-mail. If your PQ generates more than 500 results than they need to be downloaded via the GC.com website rather than through e-mail. That’s just a theory.

    It sounds like the original poster is having a different issue, though.

    Causual-Cacher’s PM about the days to generate thing was my problem. Thanks! I don’t understand how or why the days to generate thing is there, or why it was running the report but wouldn’t let me download. Can’t win them all.

    I changed from uncheck the day of the week after the query runs to run once and delete. It finally emailed it to me and showed up in my ready to download tab. Before it would stay in the active queries tab.
    Happy Happy!
