Hike and Seekers

PilotSnipes thanks for all your work!! I have been using the macro for the past couple of weeks and it works great with my Nuvi 350. I love the proximity alerts. Since I have young kids, when we go out as a family, I am only interested in caches with easy difficulty and terrain. I like to have others on the Nuvi for when I go out without kids. I made the following change to the V1.2 macro to have it display the difficulty and terrain encoding into the waypoint name. From: $waypointnamesmallscreen = "%ShortName=7/%typ=3/%found/%code%bug=* " $waypointnamewidescreen = "%ShortName=14/%typ=3/%found/%code%bug=* " To: $waypointnamesmallscreen = "%ShortName=7/%typ=3/%found/D%dif1/T%ter1/%code%bug=* " $waypointnamewidescreen = "%ShortName=14/%typ=3/%found/D%dif1/T%ter1/%code%bug=* " I used the %dif1 and %ter1 to encode the difficulty and terrain as 1 digit with 1 = 1, 1.5 = 2, 2 = 3, 2.5 = 4, etc. This works well on my Nuvi 350. The GCxxxx typically will get cut off the screen when selecting "Custom POIs", but it is there when you display the details.

Robert, Thanks for the suggestion. I poked around a bit and found a site but the drivers did not work. I don't know how I missed it, but the drivers are at: http://www.gilsson.com/usb_drivers_download.htm.

In preparation of a trip later this week, I just ordered a Gilsson USB to Serial DB9 (RS232) Adapter Cable (Garmin compatible) cable from NavSphere. I want to be able to download info from MapSource on my laptop to my eTrex Legend. The cable showed up today (good), but the driver CD is warped (bad) so I cannot install the adapter. I cannot find anything on Navsphere's or Gilsson's site that would give a hint as to where I could try to download drivers. I will contact them tomorrow. I was wondering if anyone might have this adapter and know what chipset it used or where to find drivers for it online.
