Is there any way I can download all my found caches to GSAK

When I checked my Profile I found three different numbers for my found caches:- Total Found Record 1709 Profile Shows 1710 Download to GSAK 1708 Which one is correct?

My profile shows my finds as 1625, I did a download of Pocket query of my finds and the download was 1615. Anyone know why there is a difference the 1625 is correct.

When I import waypoints from GSAK I am able to associate icons to some of the waypoints to show what the waypoint is. Gsak uses with permission GroundSpeaks icon/graphics. I have put a link to a list of Waypoints in this case the icons are to the left of the waypoints name showing the type of cache. http://www.geocaching.com/map/default.aspx?lat=50.290333&lng=-119.2632#?ll=50.290333,-119.2632&z=14 Hope this helpful.

The icons I am referring to are used to show on maps points of interests for example a park shows a tree, a trailhead shows a hiker, an airport shows an airplane.

I am trying to fine tune my waypoints using Map Icons, I have a list of names of Groundspeak Icons from GSAK but I am unable to find a link to actual images so I can see what they look like, any suggestions?

If you select "Are available to all users", or "Are for members only", you get that one selected group. Don't checkmark both. And if you leave them unchecked, you get both groups. It is obvious when you know how many thanks.

I am trying to get pocket query to list ALL users. If I click the ALL user box I do not get the Members only, I click the ALL and Premium Members I get nothing. What am I doing wrong.

According to my GSAK program my found count is 1124 according to my Pocket Query my found count is 1124, but according to my profile the count is 1122. Not a big deal just something that is enough to annoy, how can it be corrected.

The link below was bought to my attention concerning a cache that had been placed in proximity of a wooden hydro pole. http://johnnygeo-blog.blogspot.com/

It is possible that there is interference between the units being close together. I would suggest repeating the experiment one unit at a time.

When I was using an explorist 600 WAAS satellites would show as a "W". Now I am using a Legend HCx there does not appear to be any indication I am receiving WAAS. At the moment I am receiving 9 sats with an accuracy of +/-3m but no indication if any are WAAS sats. Apart for the fact I have WAAS enabled in the set up is there anyway of knowing that I am actually receiving them??

Am I missing something here. I have an Ipod touch and bookmarked Geocaching.com and can get all the info I would normally get on my desktop. what would the new app get me that I am not getting already.

I asked Garmin support if a UK Topo SD Map would work on my Canadian eTrex Legend HCx GPS. Their answer was "it should". I would like to know if it does with a simple Yes or No answer.

Thanks to all replies, now why couldn't the manual explained that? Thanks again.

Just purchased a Legend HCx and finding it works great, I have one question which is not answered by the Manual. When I zoom in a blue circle appears around the position icon. What is the circle and can it be switched of?

Yeah, it probably lets it see the new WAAS satellites, instead of searching endlessly for the defunct ones. Norm P.S. : I'm thinking every eXplorist owner should check "Secret Menu '03'" regardless of the model number and see what satellites their unit is looking for! Mine, and at least one other XL can't stop looking for PRN numbers 122, and 134. I have an eXplorist 600 and upgraded the firmware to 2.57. Just checked the secret menu #03 and it shows I am tracking sats 138 and 135. For more info goto http://members.shaw.ca/pdops/WAAS.html

More to the point, why do people assume their co-ords are correct!!

When doing a search from "your account" page the search is done from your home co-ords and if you filter out finds the result for me limits the results to 80km. If there is away to increase this distance from the account page I would like to know what it is.

Had a similar problem and found in my case when downloading updates instead of saving the file to the hard drive I thought I would save space and run the file from the website. When I went back to saving the file then running it the problem was solved.

Without rules there is no control, but there will always be exceptions, for example if a cache is relocated and retains the same name.
