I use to use EasyGPS but this is the process I just went to.
Start at the Geocache page by selecting the caches you want to down load by putting checkmarks in the boxes on the right side of the screen.
At the bottom of the page select the Download Waypoints.
Next I convert the file that I just downloaded from loc to gdb using GPS Babel. This utility is located at
GPS Babel
You can also download this utility for free.
Now open the converted file in Mapsource, walla - there are the waypoints!
From here you just add the waypoints to your GPS.
If you look at the waypoint properties you will see that there is a URL to the cache page.
I keep a Geocache.gdb file to manage my “to find” and “found” caches. By having two Mapsource sessions open I just cut and paste to add new caches to my Geocache.gdb file. I also use two categories to help manage the found and unfound caches.
In text it might seem like a lot of steps but it actually works pretty nice and its all free!
In Mapsource I do not see an export filter for GPX. How do you do this? Also, if I could create a GPX file, how would I get it back in to Mapsource, I didn't see an import filter for GPX either.
Thanks
Is there a way to convert a route to a track?
Or is there a way to create a track in Mapsource?
What I'm trying to do is set up different walking routes (tracks) of different lengths in my neighborhood.
So far all I can't figure out to do is create the route in Mapsource and use that. The problem is that I don't like all of the directions I get when I use it.
You do this at the actual coordinate location, right? I know this may sound silly, but I tried averaging the waypoint for my home at work and noticed how the coordinates changed dramatically.
