    Default Benchmark Querys

    Is there a way to make a Benchmark Pocket Query? Thanks!

    Question I don't think so.

    I don't think you can do a pocket query for benchmarks the way you can for caches.

    You can enter a zip code or a Lat/Long point and get a listing of benchmarks. The boxes to the right of the page can be checked and downloaded as a *.loc file.

    Each cache page also has a "Find nearby benchmarks" point that you can click on. Again it gives a list of banchmarks that you would have to check the boxes and download as a *.loc file.

    I have never downloaded a benchmark file so I don't know whai it would look like. Being a *.loc file it would not have all the information that a *.GPS file would have.

    On the contrary you can download a benchmark GPX file and all the info you need is contained here: http://www.craiggiven.com/gc_bmgpx.htm
