Hi

I'm just wondering that is it possible for me to download all my search results instead of download one by one?

Cheers

Hello there.

Hopefully this image will help you out.



After you get the page downloaded, you can go to the next page and repeat this same process.

Hi blue quasar

Thank you for your help.

Can I download all the search results, instead of download one page by one page?

Cheers

It is restricted to one page at a time.

Being fairly new to waymarking I wonder if I can get something like PQs?

This light gpx file download from the page is without descriptions and I'd rather have the description in GSAK. So I have to manually download each waymark, which isn't really that bad in our area, as there are not many of them.
But for a holiday it would be nice, to have a PQ of sorts.

Currently there is not the capability the same as a PQ.  If you want the complete description you have to download from waymark page.  It is time consuming but can be done.  One thing about waymarks once you download them not many get archived, get changed or go missing.

yes, but you can still visit archived ones if you know the 'code', correct?

what does changing have to do with this?

and i have had several of my own 'just disappear'....whats up with that? where do they go? into a secert reserve (with posted comments) never to see the light of day?

a prime example: when we first moved here, there is a large watertower/benchmark/mural.....
the GC BM listing has me visiting when we first moved here, and i find it hard to believe that i DID NOT post it as a BM. it has since been reposted, but still, where did the others go?

but the thing about missing items, they usually turn up. not the case with missing waymarks. once theyre gone, youll never see them again (ie: archived waymarks prior to them still beng displayed in 'my waymarks', where did they go? is there no record of them?)

additionally, how many threads have 'PQ' or 'download more than 1 page' as the subject? if only we had sticky threads/ a good FAQ.....

Sorry for asking....
I saw this thread, but it didn't really answer my question.

I wonder, why it isn't possible to get PQs, I wouldn't need them every week, just now and then. When going on holiday, to get waymarks of those areas would be nice.

The short answer to why there is not PQ for waymarking is that they have not been developed yet.  But to explain further, when Waymarking started most of the effort was to establish new waymarks rather than visiting existing one.  The desires of the community were for ways to create and manage waymarks thus the effort for groups and category management.  It is only recently that the desire PQ like downloads has become more asked for (not saying it was not asked for before just not as persistently)  Geocaching did not have pocket queries for a few years in its beginning and some of us were able to find thousands just fine without them.  The criteria for downloading Waymarks can be more complex than the criteria in a geocache pocket query thus the development of a Waymarking PQ-like down loading will be more complex.  I know that Groundspeak has seen the desire expressed for improved downloading for waymarks.
