First steps

[GPS Sax]

I just installed GeoGet and had trouble loading my GPX file. I tried
File>Add by file then selected my GPX file. GeoGet did somthing, but
didn't show any caches in the database. I tried messing around with
the filters but still nothing. Finally I went to File>Import>Import
Files..., selected my GPX file, and GeoGet loaded it.

This wasn't very intutitive. You've got to expect most people are
going to want to load a GPX file and view it right away, so why not
make that the first thing under the File menu? I shouldn't have to
mess with filters unless I want to view only a part of the file I just
loaded.

It is because you are never working with GPX files. You can just
import GPX file to database. Each import add new caches and update
existing one in the database. So, your are working with the database,
not with a file! This is reason, why you cannot 'load GPX file' and
must use import instead. And you must use filters for view database,
because program is designed for large count of caches an the
database.

Why to see full database? Are you a robot and you are capable to read
thousands of lines in the list?

Classic save/load operations working with "working set". It is set of
points displayed in main window.

And finally, "Add by file" is operation, where you show caches from
the database by a some GPX file. But not import it!

Example usage: You are plan a trip with the friends and you wish to
see caches, what are not found by all your friends only. So, filter
caches in the area, and grab MyFinds PQ from his friends. Then use
"Subtract by file" for each MyFind PQ. Rest caches are not found by
all your friends and you can plan a trip. ;-)

Changes in the menu to some more intuitive order is possible. I
thinking about it.

I had the same problem originally.

Best way to go about importing of caches, click the following:

1. File
2. Import
• Import file or folder
• If you have saved Pocket Queries from Geocaching.com, these should be in zip format
