    I downloaded the different icons of geocaching like not found, found, virtuals etc. onto my Csx and use them as waypoints with Gsak and icon macro. With %name,%hint,%size% last 4 found,days from last found terrain and diff.

    Is it normal for the FTF to take 70% of the SWAG?

    I'm glad that I was not the FTF in your cache. I know it's a real bummer what happened to your swag. You don't have enough proof to accuse the FTF in my opinion. I have place several caches and am prepared to get my swag stolen somewhat, not even trades and other. My caches are for people to have fun, but I hope they will last for a very long time. Your swag sounds awsome, good job. Some people steal, some give, some trade.

    You also may want to consider using the map screen instead of the compass screen. I changed the data fields on the map screen to show me the pointer and the distance so I essentially get the same information as the compass screen AND a map of the area to help me navigate around obstacles.

     

    Nice find! Thanks. Love it!

    What do I do with a *.LOC file

    Please explain in detail why gpx is better than loc for pocket queries. I've been using .loc files, and it creates "Waypoint" entries with matching "Geocache" entries. I only care about the "Geocache" entries right now...don't want the "Waypoints".

     

    With GPX PQ, I use GSAK with csx macro and get only geocaches with: name, GC number, container, diff/terrain and hint in the note section.

     

    LOC Files

     

    .LOC files are the simplified waypoint descriptor XML files that Geocaching.com uses for basic members in order to be able to transfer waypoints to their GPSr. They are very small and contain very little information. This is just enough information to find and navigate to a paricular cache, but may not be enough to actually complete the find. Puzzle and Multi caches, in particular, can be very difficult using only this format. Either a separate paperless solution or paper printouts of the cache descriptions are necessary in most cases.

     

    GPX files

     

    .GPX files are the robust waypoint descriptor XML files that Geocaching.com uses for premium members in order to be able to transfer waypoints to their GPSr and/or paperless caching application. Quite a lot of information is included in these files. Everything shown on the cache's page at Geocaching.com is available through this file format.
