  1. Hello all!

     

    Currently I am getting lost with the following issue: In case a wrong answer is provided to a question (input), this question must be shown again automatically without letting the user to go out and back into a zone.

     

    I think it must be something with a loop until a task is complete (providing the correct answer sets a task to complete (this works)).

     

    Thanks for your help!

  2. Hello,

     

    I make use of GSAK including an certain macro which exports my grid in a csv file for each geocache type.

    Then I use Poiloader to upload those files to my gpsmap 60csx.

     

    I have over 4000 geocaches in my gps, and even more is possible. Ofcourse, the limit is the memory level of my SD card (2Gb in my case). My device can handle it without performance issues, so you do not have to be limited by the number of 1000 caches.

  3. Every week subscribers receive the Groundspeak Weekly Notification with different general topics in it. It starts with a list of items under category "In this Issue".

     

    In stead of scrolling down to the part with the new caches in my neighbourhood, my suggestion is to add hyperlinks to those list items to go quickly to the chapter you want to read first. Additionally a "back to top" can be added.

     

    This is easy to implement and means a nice step forward to raise the quality of the newsletter.

     

    Thanks for giving it a thought!

  4. GPX is an abbreviation of GPS Exchange Format. This means those files contains information related to GPS, like a list of waypoints, routes, tracks,...all with their corresponding coordinates.

     

    Example:

     

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
    <gpx xmlns="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1" creator="MapSource 6.13.6" version="1.1" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.garmin.com/xmlschemas/GpxExtensions/v3 http://www.garmin.com/xmlschemas/GpxExtensions/v3/GpxExtensionsv3.xsd http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1 http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1/gpx.xsd">

    You see things like

    <trkpt lat="50.2279530" lon="5.5994740">
    	<ele>533.6689453</ele>
    	<time>2008-04-27T14:07:57Z</time>
    </trkpt>
    

    Which means a point with corresponding coordinates, heigth (ele) and time when it was recorded. Those details can be used in several solutions like mapsource to view those waypoints or tracks.

     

    A possible use of GPX: If you sync your digital camera with your GPS, you can put your gpx file together with the picture and create a (google)map with the track you have followed. On that track you can see where you have taken those pictures. This process is called GEOTAGGING (click)...

  5. why removing POIs if you could have more than 1000 on it??

     

    I am using a macro in GSAK to export the caches to POI files. Then I start Garmin POILoader and export them to my 60csx. Currently I have +3000 caches (all belgian caches) in my device.

     

    Little desadvantage: they are not marked as geocaches

    Littel advantage: they are in different categories (multi, trad, mystery,...)

     

    More info: see my blog.

  6. With a budget of $300 your best way out is the garmin gpsmap 60csx. Toplisted device with all required and fancy features. Best signal reception compared with the little fellows of Garmin.

     

    Maps, tracks, waypoints and routes can be up/downloaded through a USB connection.

     

    Must have!

  7. When you are logged in as a premium member, you see in the right menu (below premium features) the link "set up notifications".

     

    That's the place to have look :-)
