[Az-Geocaching] XML Tool

[Team Cache-Quest]

Jason:

You're right of course.  I had forgotten that you guys had already done
that, but the gpx format is a little limited from a geocaching perspective.

The XML files from geocaching.com's pocket query extend the gpx schema with
their own groundspeak schema.  It includes all the geocaching related data
like terrain, container, difficulty, etc. It even includes the full
description and recent logs.  I don't think you guys have that on any of the
format on AZGeocaching.com

For personal use the Pocket Query would be great if:

1. Wasn't tied to within 500 miles of a set location.
2. Wasn't limited to 500 caches (although I don't have that many, some do)
3. Had options for what logs to include (recent, all, or only mine)

All I really want is all the information on all the caches I've logged in a
format (xml) that I can play with.

Thanks,
Jerry (Cache-Quest)
