    As an aid for myself and perhaps fellow geocachers, I published a small webpage that converts your Pocket Query into a more helpful POI file. I know that Pocket Query GPX files can easily be imported into the POI library of MyRoute-app, but the presentation in the planner as well as in the app is not very informative.

    This is how a default POI looks when imported from a Pocket Query directly.
    It is not telling much 😞

    The script I made combines the GC code, the name of the cache and the URL to the cache into the name field of the POI, and strips the file from all non-standard groundspeak extensions.

    Resulting into a much friendlier presentation 😃

    Of course this is not intended to replace any geocaching app, but if you like to take hikes, walks or bicycle routes, you can easily import a track into MyRoute-app, and import a an accompanying PQ of the same area to see on MyRoute-app the caches that are within reach of your track.

    Free to use for anyone, without any warranty 😉

    Happy caching! 😉

    I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!

        @Brian-McG, huh...? I could have sworn I added a link in my topic, but obviously I did not...
        Well: it is here: https://hennekens.info/PQ2POI/
        Sorry for the late reply, I was cruising the French Alps last week 😉
