NEW TUTORIAL: Use Micrsoft Streets & Trips to create Geocaching.com Pocket Queries returning maximal coverage and density.
We live in a cache-dense community and many of us have large caching territories. So it can be difficult to download all those caches into GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife database). The Pocket Queries (PQ's) from geocaching.com are limited to 500 entries each, only 5 PQ's can be run each day, and no more than 20 total PQ's can be defined. But if you build your PQ's carefully so that each produces maximal returns, you can have your cake AND eat it too! I’ve written a tutorial that explains how I used Microsoft Streets and Trips (MSST) to plan my PQ's to return maximal results. This article also covers the building of the PQ using date-based criteria.
