    Download Gpx

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted

    I have tried to download my caches from geocaching.com to GSAK in GPX but everytime I check 1 or a few caches & hit the download button it as says

    name:geocaching.loc

    type: gsak 354,bytes

    from:www.geocaching.com ...

     

    I am trying to load under GPX not LOC ...I have even run a PQ & got an e-mail I clicked on the results & then tried to either load them to GSAK or save them to files & I still get that screen that says

    name:geocaching.loc

    type: gsak 354,bytes

    from:www.geocaching.com

     

    the only way I have been able to do it is by going to each cache page & clicking on GPS eXchange file (gpx) & save it to a file ....then I candownload it to GSAK

     

    Thanks in advance

    Well Pocket Queries (PQ) is the best way to get lots of Caches down at one time, but if you want one at a time you can go to the Cache in question, and if you are logged in you should a link .. that says GPS exchange file (*.gpx) near the top of the listing ...

     

    Click on that and save the file ... it should be namded with the Waypoint name plus the extention .gpx

     

    Then in GSAK select menu FILE and then Load GPX/LOC

     

    Browse to the downloaded file and hit Ok

     

    that will load the cache into GSAK

     

    hope that helps

    OK I tried that & I thought it would work but when i click ok it says there r no matching files to load???????? <_<

    In order for them to be the treasure chest icon you need to download the gpx files not the loc files. The easiest way to do this is to go to www.geocaching.com/pocket/ and create a pocket querie of the caches you want.

    I have downloaded the pocket quieries & Easy GPS still doesnt show the treasure chest when I move to my GPSr .....I need to change the icon manually ....I know this isnt a big deal I was just wondering if I can make the closed treasure chest the default icon

    Sounds like you have EasyGPS set up for the wrong GPS. In preferences you can select the type GPS you have. This sets what type of icons EasyGPS uses.

    I have it set up for the 60CS which is what I have .....thing is that when I download caches from geocaching.com to EasyGPS i would like to set the closed treasure chest as default icon .....can it b done////
