  1. Well, after much gnashing of teeth and banging of head against the screen... I think I can say with some certainty that the SAFE character limit for the 200W is only 1000. Had it set to 2000 and noticed that some[\i] caches caused it to either turn itself off, or lock up its screen. I started examining the offending caches and noticed their entries were JUST over 1000 characters. (I loaded them to an SD card, opened them with wordpad and pasted the entry to word and did a character count). So, it appears you can reduce the count (at least for the 200Ws) down to 1000 in your next version. PBH
  2. As an interesting (or not) side note, I've taken to putting all my geocache POIs on a seperate SD memory card. When I insert it into my GPSr, it asks me if I want to make them available in case the card is removed. I answer "No", so my GPSr is never "cluttered" with old caches, and a simple new download to the card takes care of any unwanted caches.
  3. First of all, FANTASTIC!!! Thank you so much for your effort in creating this macro. I changed the buffer value to 2000 and it worked perfectly on my Nuvi200W. Second, I got to poking around a bit in your macro. It occured to me that if you made a couple of small changes that it would be easier for each user to "adjust" it to his/her own Nuvi. So, with that in mind, I made a couple of small changes. You may incorporate them if you desire, as it is your creation. Change 1: Added to the declaration subroutine $Nuvi2XX = "2000" $Nuvi3XX = "8000" $Nuvi4XX = "8000" $Nuvi5XX = "8000" $Nuvi6XX = "8000" $Nuvi7XX = "8000" Declare Var=$GPSr Type=Numeric I set a variable of each model to an appropriate buffer length. Change 2: Added immediately after your declare sub #################### # # Replace value below with your Nuvi model type # #################### $GPSr = Val("$Nuvi2XX") Setting the model number as the GPSr value allows for a quick and easy way to modify the macro to each person's GPSr. Effectively it creates a constant so you only have to make a change in one place near the top of the macro. change 3: Made at the bottom of the macro where the buffer data is created # Nuvi contact section only supports 3150 bytes using 2000 to provide a buffer for html formatting etc. $HintLen = Len($hints) $LogsLen = Len($logs) if len($combdesc) + $HintLen + $LogsLen > $GPSr #If total string too large, dump the logs. $_special = left($_special, $GPSr - $HintLen) + $hints else $_special = $combdesc + $hints + $logs endif Substituting the variable $GPSr for the hardwired data makes the above a quick change. Again, these are just suggestions for ease of use. You have done a great job of creating the macro and it is much appreciated!
