  1. What the GPS upload plugins support is mapping symbols based on record type. They're separate downloads, but yes... CacheMate for PPC and Palm OS will handle uploading to Garmin and Magellan receivers over an RS232 connection. Thanks it looks like i will have to invest in cachemate
  2. Thats because some people think of junk as good trade items and take no consideration to protect the media.
  3. You have all caught on to my devioushly brilliant plan to infect the world one cache finder at a time by rewritting viruses then burning to disk and placing in caches every 15 minutes. Sounded like a good idea considering that no one ever reads logs that might indicate that someone elses gps blew up due to a virus caught from Kwitzats' disk(maybe a little exagerated) or that there is no way that the police could track me down thru Groundspeak or my email adress or finding out where i've been recently. And besides as far as efficency goes who ever heard of any thing more efficient than dowloading coords off the internet uploading them to gps and hiking to who knows where to, in search of a hidden box to just to expand my collection of Mcdonalds toys.
  4. Well, that's one interpretation of the license agreement, I suppose. I was looking more at this line: But hey, what do I know. I'm just a contract lawyer. Then i would have to defer to your expert opinion, being just a glorified grunt with a keen sense of direction and the authorization to give terminal guidance to things that go boom. I was just thinking that " unlicensed third parties" meant non members who have not agreed to terms of Agreement. Again maybe gpx files are not a good idea but if you were not afraid of viruses(having the ability to view files without executing them) what would you like to find in digital format, pictures, how to manuals, ect..
  5. it would only apply if you were not able to acess GC.com if you can you are a licensee and i could tranfer it to you as i understand, but i supose others could find the data, even if unintetionaly and would be a violation of said aggreement. As far as viruses if you dont know how those things work and are scared you could just leave cd where it is. So must reiterate the question of what to suggest adding as im assuming the threat of reporting me to Groundspeak means you you dont suggest gpx files.
  6. I am currently in the process of making a signature item to leave at caches. It is going to be a business card cd with geocaching software and my GC name printed on the front. What do you think i should put on the cd I allready am planing to put a massive gpx file from my compiled pqs but what else do you suggest are the any short videos related to geocaching out there. Also staples has 64mb flash drives fo 8 bucks i may get a bundle of those to leave or at least make a few tbs. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
  7. I can't seem to get it to work now my self. I know I used to do it, it may have something to do with gpx to maplet software that used to be necessary when the old version of mappopolis would not see gpx files.
  8. Thanks for the suggestion I haven't tried using sonar to export gpxs guess i'll have to play with it some more just hope it keeps the same icon settings as the original gpx from gsak (i like my custom icons).
  9. as they said I used gsak to export gpx's and used ximage for custom icons but it took several days for me to get it right but it might be easiest to use %type in the info field of the gsak export to get the info at least in the gpsr for your review.
  10. well i finally got g7toce to work ironically it reads garmin output and not nema. Also if you load a gpx generated from gsak it will not alter the icon setting so customs will show up on the gpsr if not g7toce itself. Now my only issue is generating customised gpx exports on my ppc based on proximity from a huge gpx file of the total caches in gsak. gpx sonar wont do ,does anyone know if cachemate will work for this?
  11. Personally I hate mapopolis it is imposible to load the bazillion maps you want into it so you never have to plan before you start a jouney and when seaching for a local point it will search all maps loaded first making it soooo slow. and besides 100 bucks for a years worth of map is insane nowi can only use it for the states i was travelling in at the time since i did not have the forsight to dowload the entire united states before my year was up. on the bright side it does support gpx files and will read them as map items and can warn you when your close to one, so it is good for caching
  12. Drop a bitmap in the same folder as the poi's named the same as the file for example Virtual.bmp . they are only viewable at a certain zoom however and transparecy doesnt seem to work at least has been my experience perfhaps with another firware update garmin will fix this
  13. In the past i have had very little luck with g7toce but i was using rino 120 then i'll try with my 60csx POI (points of interest) are the resturants gas station attractions etc found on the mapsource maps. with a custom poi loader on x series garmins you can load caches as pois with 30 characters of info onto the memory card not gps internal memory allows you to load bazillion waypoints instead of the 1000 supported by the gpsr, however they dont show up except at a particular zoom on the map and the custom icons dont have background transparency.
  14. In the past i have had very little luck with g7toce but i was using rino 120 then i'll try with my 60csx
  15. if there are any tech savy geocachers out there i could really use help. i have a garmin gps map 60csx, ipaq 2215, the serial cable attachment for 60csx and a serial to ipaq cable with charger input. I am using gpx sonar, gsak, and have tried g7towince. i have custom waypoints loaded into my gps to make organizing my search easier from a map screen on my gps but what i really want to be able to do is have all my gpx files on the ppc and be able to upload them by proximity to my gps i travel alot and never seem to have my laptop available when i have time to cache, tried the poi loader and is a adequate solution but only being able to see the caches at a paticular zoom is really annoying besides the invisible background color doesn't work either. is there any way to do this and it would be really nice to be able to use the custom icons by type and status in the upload as well. I hear rave reviews of cachemate but no one seems to mention this capability. help pleeeeease!

  17. Well ive been caching bout two years and have logged bout 20 caches i love geocaching but i am very busy and I've hit bout 20-30 more I never loged cuz usually I wait till i get home from travelling but i always forget the day i was there and feel wierd logging a cache after a month or so. Whats the consensus on late logs.
  18. I see a good amount of cachers in the military but i cache around military bases i'm surprised however there are few people i work with (in the Army) that cache since most of us own gpsr
