darwinmay Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 A while back someone posted a program for shrinking down cache pages and printing maybe 5 or 6 on one page. Where is this? I can't find it with a search, and need it for Monday. Thanks, Blue Quote Link to comment
robertlipe Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 There are a couple of them around. If you use GPSBabel's 'text' format, omit the logs, then pull the results into a word processor with about three columns and a smallish font and printing double sided, I remember averaging something like 18 caches per piece of paper. See other posts in the threads at: http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php...=0entry922952 http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php...0entry1030733 for other options. Quote Link to comment
+Jamie Z Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 And as an extension of GPSBabel, you can use the Condensed Print option in GSAK. When I occasionally go paperless, that's what I use. Then I print four pages per sheet, double sided. That way, I can get eight pages of caches on one sheet of paper, and each page will have 5-7 caches on it. That's around 50 cache pages on a single sheet. Jamie Quote Link to comment

Dang words and their meanings. Of course I meant... when I occasionally use paper (as opposed to paperless). Ninja, on your print menu (the box that pops up when you print something), you should have an option to select the number of pages per sheet. Depending on your printer and the driver software you have, you might not have this option, but I'd be surprised. Jamie Quote Link to comment
+wandererrob Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 I'll have to check these out. I don't have the toys to go paperless right now and I've really ramped up my caching this year, so I'm blowing through a lot of tree. I've got a stack of probably 30 pages sitting here igth now for the week. Anything to cut down on the paper I use, not to mention the clutter, is a good thing. Quote Link to comment
+wandererrob Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Holy crap! GPSBalel will do Vcard format which I can then upload to my iPod! I always grab my iPod and take it with me anyway, why not put it to work? I'm CAN go paperless! Quote Link to comment
darwinmay Posted July 12, 2005 Author Share Posted July 12, 2005 Well, I used JamieZ's method, worked pretty nice. However, it was a bi*ch to find the cache corresponding to the code on my GPSr while we were driving down the street, so I'm buying a Zire 21 today Quote Link to comment
+Jamie Z Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 BN.. yeah, that's a drag. I was always sure to print them in either alphabetical order, or in the order I intended to search for them. Sometime I had two or three sheets with 30+ caches per sheet. Hard to find what you're looking for sometime. Jamie Quote Link to comment
