OK, thanks for the info. Very curious.
I manipulate PQs before downloading them to my 66 just as I've been doing for 8 years without any trouble with my DeLormes. I believe other people produce PQs using GSAK.

Excellent.
I'm not sure what you're saying. I've already found that PQs update each other with the cache logs taken from the newest PQ, so I assume when you say "exists on the GPSr in GPX format", you're not talking about older PQs. (Wow, that would be a huge hassle!) So are you saying that if I download caches via GCLive, they'll live forever with the old logs no matter how many PQs I download with newer information? I wasn't finding GCLive that useful, but that would make it positively counter productive.gpsrchive wrote: ↑Mon Apr 29, 2019 10:05 pm As for PQ's you have downloaded disappearing after a week, I have never heard of this issue before, nor have I experienced it. I can tell you that if any Geocache in any of your PQ's already exists on the GPSr in GPX or GGZ format, it will not be downloaded as part of the PQ. The Garmin GPSR gives priority to the Geocaches manually loaded on the device, always.
I don't know about "deleted", I just know I don't see them.How are you certain geocaches have been deleted after a week?
What I'm seeing appears to be consistent with exactly what I've been saying: a week after I download a PQ, all caches in it disappear except for any that have been supplanted by a newer PQ. In addition, if instead of download a new version of the PQ, I only "touch" the existing PQ -- i.e., update it's modification date/time stamp to "now" -- the caches also reappear.Is it just a few individual geocaches? Or an entire PQ?
One of my theories for why I see it while more seasoned Garmin users don't is that I do not do weekly downloads. Instead, in the morning I download PQs for wherever I might go that day. It's quite common for me to download a PQ and then not go back there for a few weeks, hence not updating the PQ and giving it time to "time out". Perhaps no one else lets the data sit that long without refreshing it?If you have a PQ running once a week at Geocaching.com, and you freshly download it once a week, that will likely overwrite the previous contents of that PQ with the new updated PQ data. This is the only way they could make it possible to enable/disable specific GPX/GGZ/PQ files on the device.
Yes, quite certain.Are you certain you have not simply disabled some of your GCLive data?
