I like to use sound notification when Geocaching, set to increasing frequency of beep the nearer I get.

However, this only works for the one point I am guiding towards. I'd like this to work for all geocaches, whether I am guiding to them or not. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks.

Importing the PQs direct from Locus works... thanks again Balloni55, I did not know about that option.

Thanks, will try these alternatives.

Thank you Balloni55, that is the perfect answer!

I looked into this a bit more earlier and have discovered the following

What I wanted to do was to create a Pocket Query that is centred in Oslo and to then export those results into Locus. I did this by exporting a GPX file and then imported the file into Locus. Then I tried to sort the data by favourite but it did not work. I think the reason is that the exported GPX does not contain favourite data.

I have previously imported a Bookmark List into Locus by using Geocaching4Locus app. This appears to bring in the favourite data. However, you cannot build a Bookmark List that will search like a Pocket Query.

In summary, the way to do it is:
1. Create Pocket query to search exactly the way you want
2. Export the GPX
3. Import the GPX into Locus, put in suitable folder
4. Look at the Points in the folder, click on Spanner symbol, then ^ symbol and Update caches
5. Click on middle button on bottom row and select Geocaching and Sort by Favourite

Thanks to you Balloni55 for your help!

Hi Balloni,
Thanks but I already tried this and it didn't work. Attached is a screenshot of what happens when I follow your instruction... caches are just listed in reverse- alphabetical order.
Any other ideas?

Hi All,

I am going on a trip and I wanted to import geocaches into Locus and then sort them by numbers of favourites.

There seems to be any option to do this but it doesn't work properly. Geocaches are still in alphabetical order.

I can sort the caches by favourite in a pocket query on the geocaching website but this order is lost when I import.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you Arcao, that worked perfectly.
Are there any plans to make gallery images available in the future? Sometimes they give extra clues to geocache locations, which is why I need to go to an internet browser from Locus sometimes. Keep up the good work, Rob.

Hi,
I love the geocaching add-on, but I did something that I can't seem to undo.
The www button that appears when a geocache is selected used to ask which application to open. I selected the wrong option once, and ticked the box for locus to remember my choice, now I cannot change the choice. How can I undo this?

Thanks, Rob.
