The problem arises when I go caching with non-iPhone friends that take PQs and edit them into a trip with a specific cache order in GSAK, with the end result being a GPX file that any GPSr (or Android phone running the official Geocaching app) can digest and use. The app does a most excellent job with standard PQs.

Plus version 3 will most likely be getting Live API support.

But it's rare I ever need to do that (at most, a home PQ download per day has enough 'live' info to cache with). The only thing, IMO, Geosphere doesn't have over the official app is the ability to do a live search to the geocaching database. Or, you can even directly bookmark the PQ download link if it's one you consistently run (like a close to home PQ). Yeah, ngrrfan, bookmark your Pocket Queries page in Geosphere and download them right from the website. though these days it makes much less sense than to link directly to the files. You can also set a script to deal with email attachments, and so on.
You could say it saves you having to return to the website to deal with responding to notifications. until I started just downloading off the site. Not for the iPhone or gsak or geosphere.strange.Įmailing, for me at least, used to be useful for importing to GSAK, older versions. I have yet to find a use for th emailed PQ. Why do you email yourself the PQ? Geosphere downloads it directly from the site. I use Geosphere and what I do to load a PQ is to mail it to myself and then use the app to retrieve it. Edited ones or those created by friends to lay out a specific trip are worthless. Is there a workaround - other than buying an Android or using a "real" GPSr?Īs far as I can tell my iPhone can only see raw pocket queries. Should it also say: "Except if you have an iPhone. Once the data is to your liking, you can upload it to the website so that it may later be downloaded by your mobile device." "A popular use for this feature is to first download a customized Pocket Query, followed by a massaging of the data in your preferred third party waypoint manager. I quote a paragraph from the "Saved GPX files" tab on the GC.com website: Go to My Maps and type your locations into the search bar.Am I missing something? Is there no way to upload a GPX file created by a friend into an iPhone? Or one I just created from one of my own PQs that I massaged and edited down to a manageable size in GSAK? I just did this and resaved it as a new GPX file, then uploaded it to the "Saved GPX file" tab on GC.com, but my iPhone can't see it.You can add your destinations and tweak the map any way you’d like. It may be easier to just create your own Google Map. Once your file is uploaded to Google Maps, you can share it and perform any actions that you normally would on Google Maps.This extra step will ensure that nothing is lost in the upload to Google. After your file is converted, download it and follow the steps for uploading a file to Google Maps as detailed above.In seconds, you’ll have a KML file available. All you have to do is upload your GPX file, select Google Maps as the output format, and then select Map it.GPS Visualizer is a very lightweight and free converter. You can convert GPX to KML using a variety of software, but the most convenient way is to use an online converter. To make sure that all the data from your file gets properly uploaded into Google, first convert it into the preferred format, KML.
