Ok, so I'm not sure what to do with this... I originally set up two pocket queries: One to give me a radius around work, one to give me a radius around my home. Problem is, the two intersected, and I wanted a larger search area. So I changed it to be a weekly list of all caches in the area and a daily list of "not found" caches, in an attempt to get a daily list of new caches. Problem is, that hasn't really worked out the way I wanted it to, because that makes too much work(saving, converting, and then transferring cache files every day). Is there a better way to do this?

You could always move the queries 'base' coordiantes farther away from each other to where they just touch. The results from queries are in a circular pattern, so you could move the center of each circle away from each other and gain more search area in the process.

. . . without a cache.

This brings up on of my pet peeves about the PQs and searches. In my case, I'd like listings of the caches within 30 miles of me, but only to the east, west, and south. Not north. North includes the Atlanta area and there are always a multitude of new caches there. I'd like to see a directional selection, i.e., within 30 miles east of zip code.

My guess is that that would be pretty tough to program so I just [sigh] and move on.

See ya on the hunt!

Well, my other problem is that my palm is very low on memory, and I can't really update it until I can get a new one...

I just generate one ever Friday from base cords in north Atlanta and put a thirty mile radius and limit to 200 and have only new/update caches come back. I dont even bother with one for my home town because our last new cache was back in september, but i intend to change that one weekend. And then create one occasionally for the special occasions, ie. Savannah, Challenge, etc
