Just wondering if would be useful to allow either a dynamic PQ from a selected cache ie Centered around a location.
eg Link= Download PQ centered about cache (5 Km ??)
or created (PQ) Query centered around Cache - which would generated a My Query for GCA caches centered around the selected Cache.
This would allow people to quickly generate a PQ.
Some other ideas would be like the GC Map to generate a PQ based on Google map ie create Query with Map Center and Zoom level.
These are just some rough ideas to make it easier.
thanks

Re: Link to create PQ Query from cache
You can do that on GSAK now - using the GC API / Get Geocaches - it centres on a cache you select !!
It's like generating a PQ from within your database without having to do all the PQ criteria !!
Just a pity you can't do it with GCA caches as well........

Given the area mtrax is posting in I would guess he's not talking about GC or GC's apiroostaman wrote:You can do that on GSAK now - using the GC API / Get Geocaches - it centres on a cache you select !!

Re: Link to create PQ Query from cache
Correct, this is just for GCA caches only

Re: Link to create PQ Query from cache
You know what would happen?
I want 5km around a cache.
Then, oh can you make it so I can exclude ones I found.
Oh, then only traditionals and maybe multi, but no puzzle or moveable.
Oh, then terrain 1 or 2 and maybe difficulty 3.
This is what the MyQuery generator does.
I know you're looking at speed to getting a file, but once you get beyond '5km using this as a start point' it becomes quite a challenge to maintain. Maybe it's something as simple as a new link on the GMAP cache where it instantly fires you at a new MyQuery with some stuff populated and you can just change whatever else you want.

Yes that would be great, something that populates the query, thankscaughtatwork wrote:You know what would happen?
