Just an FYI, You still get the unique error message when using a macro and exporting to Mapsource. Tom (WU8C) Thanks This should have been fixed in 6.0.2 Your quote refers to 6.0.1 Are you saying that 6.0.2 has still not fixed this issue or do you not have the latest release of GSAK? Nope, I have the latest version and now working as expected - Great! BTW, I, as others have requested, also would like a way to modify the HTML pages as can be done in GPXSpinner. Thanks in advance!

GSAK uses GPSBabel for the conversion to MapSource MPS file (another undocumented proprietary format from Garmin). In order to track this down I need to know if this is a GSAK or GPSBabel issue. I don't have MapSource, so could someone else with the skills run this conversion using GPSBabel outside of GSAK and confirm that it does or doesn't work doing this. Easiest way to to this is just generate a GPX file with a single waypoint in it (you can use GSAK to do this) Now open the GPX file in your favourite text editor and change the <sym> element to "Danger Area" (without the quotes) Now use GPSBabel to do the conversion to MapSource - sample syntax: gpsbabel -N -i gpx -f bugtest.gpx -o mapsource,mpsverout=5 -F "c:\temp\test.mps" Now load the test file into MapSource and confirm the results It appears that GPSBabel is the problem. I did it slightly different because when I followed your steps utilizing Notepad as the editor, it blew up GPSbable. I took one record from within GSAK and set the Geocache symbol as Danger Area. I then used GSAK export to output a GPX file. I used EASYGPX to view it and there was a Danger Area symbol as the icon. I then created a batch file for GPSBable with the parameters you specified utilizing the newly created GPX file. Upon opening the new test.MPS file in Mapsource, the symbol was changed to a Box with Diamond inside. I hope I did this correct. Tom (WU8C)

Another issue: When exporting to Mapsource, if using the Danger Icon for Archived, it sends the Marine symbol, Box with a diamond inside to Mapsource instead. I tried this on the Not Found with the same results. A FYI. Tom (WU8C)

Another issue I discovered: I am using Mapsource 6.7. When exporting a Mapsource file using the .MPS filetype, it sets the Waypoint Proximity Unknown box. When saving a .GDB filetype it un-checks the Proximity Unknown box. With this box unchecked. it forces an update of the Proximity section of the GPS. This is a problem when sending to a Street Pilot III in that it does not accept this command. On the GPSMap 60CS it runs out of Proximity memory. Type .MPS files work OK whereas the .GDB files create errors. Any workaround (Macro?) to ensure the Proximity Unknown remains unchecked? Tom (WU8C)

Hmm, I haven't had any other reports of the Cemetery icon not showing up on the Legend - anyone else with a legend can confirm this? For the reason why the - (hyphen) not going down to your GPSr please see this post Go back into Change Waypoint Icon/Symbol and reselect the archived icon. You will find it points to blank. Select the Cemeteary Icon and it will work fine from then on. Tom WU8C

Could you please take the option "Tools=>Send debug into to Clyde" and then email me the tracking number Email sent Just curiious, did you try going into Control Panel/System/Device Manager and reconfigure the USB to Serial adapter to Com1:? I use a USB to Serial adapter and work fine but I had to do what I described above. Tom (WU8C)

I would like to compose a Waypoint Name to my GPS utilizing GSAK that is something like this: The 4 characters after the "GC" (Yes, the %drop2), then a hyphen, Then 5 characters of the Cache type code such as; LetBx, Virtl, Multi, etc and these 5 characters would be replaced with "Micro" if the cahe is a Micro. e.g. 3Q3S-LetBx, 4ABC-Virtl or 5XYZ-Micro Is this possible? It was with GPXSpinner before they upgraded and dropped the Micro override
