<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Finally, the answer to all of life's questions! Thanks Brian! haha<br><br>Wow, that is a tough question which probably would need a long tutorial to properly address. I would recommend that they jump on the forums at
<a href="http://gsak.net" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">gsak.net</a> and do some research, then post their questions in there. A quick answer for one of the questions though is "NO", GSAK does not have an automagic way of determining what caches in your database are archived. That being said there are somewhat automated ways of cleansing your gsak database(s). I would again recommend
<a href="http://gsak.net" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">gsak.net</a> for that information. I myself just try to keep the nearest 500 caches up to date by updating a few times a week and then checking those caches where the "Last GPX" date is less than the date on the most recent
GPX file I've loaded. It's rather manual, but there are better ways.<br><br>Good luck,<br>Jared of AZBliss02<br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span class="q">

<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">For the last few years I've been using various methods of
translating GPX pocket queries (PQ) into HTML which allowed me to take my GPS
and palm device and go geocaching without a bunch of paper. Last year I
got GSAK which really improved the whole conversion process and added cool
features to the process. Then I got a laptop and decided to show my wife
the whole process of converting GPX to GSAK to HTML to Plucker to Palm
device. She laughed so hard milk would have flown out her nose if she had
been drinking milk. Then simply said, "I have a laptop. All I
need is that and GSAK." </span></font></p>

</div>
<div>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Now that I'm GSAK centric I've been wondering about how the
best way to manage the GSAK database. In the past I've had different
database for every PQ. One for home, one for Long
Beach , one for Portland ,
one for the route from SEA to PDX … It seems to me that one monster
database might be an easier way to go, I just need to figure out how to filter
properly. Also, I typically PQ only for active caches that I haven't
found. I'm only interested in the caches I can find (I learned my lesson
of making sure caches were active after doing a multi hour multi cache to end
up in the owners front yard with him telling me the cache was inactive for the
winter …) But I'm not sure how GSAK handles a cache that goes from active
to inactive or archived - do they get removed from the GSAK database if they
aren't in the GPX or does GSAK synch the database with the GPX by updating the
caches that are in the GPX and leaving the caches that aren't in the GPX
un-updated? </span></font></p>
</div>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Anyway,
this whole question boils down to what are best practices for using GSAK?
One big database? Multi databases? Is there a CQ set-up that will
improve my GSAK usage, like should I set the PQ to show include my found,
inactive, and archived caches so GSAK can tag them properly? </span></font></p>

</span></font></pre><pre><font face="Courier New" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">versions match; I know my older laptop has USB 1.0, and a lot of newer </span></font></pre><pre><font face="Courier New" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">
things use USB 2.0). If that's affordable for you and you can get the </span></font></pre><pre><font face="Courier New" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">laptop to last long enough, you could transfer the data to one of these
