Show hidden geocaching children waypoints
Declined
Hi,
some geocaches come with hidden waypoints children waypoints for stages or the final, which Locus does not import.
Only the parking waypoint, which has coordinates, gets imported.
In most cases this is no problem, but there are children waypoints with important details like Rot13-coded hints for these stages.
For example:
The Final Waypoint "FN54243" has Details which are important for the geocache.
Is there a way to import these hidden waypoints as well?
Not for showing them on the map, because they dont have any coordinates.
But for having these hints in Locus.
I like this idea 
Hi Martin,
how do you import this Geocache to locus? please discribe it.
For me it works, all WPT´s are visible in list tab of cache disciption
As i know decoding Rot13-code inside WPT list isn´t possible.

Hm, i See ... it makes a difference if i use the API or PQs to import caches.
But why arent the children waypoints imported if i choose the PQ way?

Hi Martin,
i think this is a special behavior of this Geocache (Listing)
I have created a PQ with 5 caches arround it, and only from this cache the WPT´s are not loaded after installing the PQ, after update cache they are visible
in all other caches the WPT´s are visible without cacheupdate
I think menion can take a lock on it, try attached PQ

Maybe the problem is with waypoints (eg Final) that are visible ONLY to the owner. And the owner is the one trying to see those waypoints.
I've noticed this. I'll be looking at a cache (mine, a puzzle), and see nothing in the Waypoints tab. Tap the puzzle-piece icon at the bottom, "Update cache", same result.
Does the API not return these "owner-only" waypoints, or is it perhaps a G4L issue?

Im not the owner.
Owners have the option to show these waypoints to the cachers, or to hide them.

In PQ waypoint file there are only waypoints with real coordinates.
If you open the normal waypoint file, not the one for additional waypoint, you will find a list of additional waypoints.

result after some tests:
- downloading geocaches with GC4L, all WPT´s are available
- downloading gpx file from cachelisting, all WPT´s are available
- in created PQ´s , only WPT´s with coordinates are available.
So after importing a PQ, run "update cache" to complete PQ caches, after that all WPT´s are visible in listing tab

@ Martin
so make directly cache update after PQ is loaded for complete folder
@menion
GS never insert data of wpt´s without coords to PQ,
so my proposal, please provide a option for "cache update" for complete PQ direct after it is loaded.
