ImpalaBob Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 If you are looking at an idividual cache page, Click icon to download: Choose GPS eXchange File (*.gpx) If you are doing Pocket Queries just choose the same output format. We run pocket queries... then use Cachemate's cmconvert utility to convert them to the Palm database format which Cachemate uses. ImpalaBob Quote Link to comment

+mb3 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I can see download .gpx on the cache page but if I try to download a set of 20 or so waypoints from a search the only choice I seem to have is .loc. Is this true? Quote Link to comment
+Freebee & 007 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Please try the Build Pocket Query function. Trust me you will prefer it to running individual search. You can view the PQ results while the Gpx. files are on their way to your email. Extremely fast. What the heck..it's part of your Premium Membership..Enjoy it. Quote Link to comment

I was specifically wondering about the days between pocket queries. I guess there aren't that many new caches to deal with and I could download each .gpx individually. Quote Link to comment

Is this true? Yes, the search pages only allow LOC files. To get GPX you either go to each page and download, or create a PQ. Quote Link to comment
ImpalaBob Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Ok how do you down load the cachemate cords into my GPS. Once you receive and save the pocket querey .gpx file. You run the cmconvert.exe program that came with cachemate. This program outputs a .pdb (palm database) file that goes to your pda with the next hotsync. As for the gps ..... you need to open the .gpx file with easygps, or gsak, or MapSource (as we do) and then do the normal transfer to the unit. Cachemate is strictly for Palm based PDAs ..... GSAK is for GPS .... Trix is for kids! ImpalaBob Quote Link to comment
