Andys101 & Redfrock Posted July 20, 2005 Author Share Posted July 20, 2005 cachemate - but not sure if i have even got that far yet!! am soooooooooooo stuck! Quote Link to comment
Andys101 & Redfrock Posted July 20, 2005 Author Share Posted July 20, 2005 gsak keeps telling me 'you can't create a folder here, that folder does not exist' ????? Quote Link to comment
+Mad H@ter Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 gsak keeps telling me 'you can't create a folder here, that folder does not exist' ????? I assume you are using a Palm, unfortunately my knowledge is with an iPAQ but I assume it is similar. I will ask the obvious, is your PDA connected to the PC - can you browse to the folder in Explorer? Quote Link to comment
Andys101 & Redfrock Posted July 20, 2005 Author Share Posted July 20, 2005 yes definately connected. and yes is a palm Quote Link to comment
+Mad H@ter Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 If you can browse to the cachemate folder using your PC you can create a GPX file using GSAK saving it in a convenient place then copy and paste it into the cachemate folder on the palm. Quote Link to comment
Andys101 & Redfrock Posted July 20, 2005 Author Share Posted July 20, 2005 right - will give it a try - only can't seem to browse cachemate. think i will try again in the morning when not so tired - thanks! Quote Link to comment
Deego Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 When you click the export to cachemate. browse the location and put it my documents (or a folder that is easy to find) .Before you click the generate button, make sure you put a tick in the box that says something like "export to palm after conversion" then click generate. When the palm box comes up select done, then hotsync your palm (press the button on the cradle) it it will transfer the data Quote Link to comment
Deego Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 For more information see GSAK help file for cachemate You can click on any screen section for more information about that feature. Quote Link to comment
+magicboy Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Export the filtered list from GSAK... File menu, export and export as type "Cachemate .pdb file". Another dialogue box will appear with a variety of options. I always untick the "decode hints by default" option. Now depending on how you want to do it, there are two ways to continue. I always keep my Cachemate databases on an SD card, so I untick the "export to palm device after conversion" and save it to My Documents. I then copy that file onto my memory card. If you're doing it that way, it needs to be saved in the following folder: \Palm\Launcher\xxx.pdb (cachemate .pdb file). If you're just copying it direct to your Palm, then leaving the "export to Palm device" box ticked should be OK. Hot Sync your palm with your PC. Fire up your Palm, and open Cachemate. Hopefully it should detect the new file(s) and ask if you want to update your database... Quote Link to comment
Andys101 & Redfrock Posted July 21, 2005 Author Share Posted July 21, 2005 thanks for all your help. i think i found the glitch and have now successfully loaded the palm so that we can go caching in n.london on sunday Quote Link to comment
