+chucksplace Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 I have a Magellan explorist 500. When I download the cordinates everything is there but I can not view the hint. Quote
+Jiheffe Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 (edited) How are you downloading your WPs to your GPSr? There is no reason hints should appear in your WP, unless you explicitely configured your upload software to place them somewhere. As an example, GSAK allows me to put the hints in the WP's "message" field on my Magellan Meriplat. Note this only works for the first 200 WPs, as only 200 out of a total of 500 can have a "message" field attached. [Edit] corrected typos Edited August 5, 2005 by Jiheffe Quote
+robert Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 Make sure you are getting a GPX and not a LOC file, and use GSAK to put it in the memo field. Like Jiheffe said, your GPS may limit how much you can put there so experiment a bit. Quote
Keystone Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 I'm moving this thread to the GPS Units and Software Forum. Quote
WH Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 Where in GSAK can you set it up so that the hint is downloaded to my GPS with the coordinates? Quote
+The SuzyQs Posted August 5, 2005 Posted August 5, 2005 Where in GSAK can you set it up so that the hint is downloaded to my GPS with the coordinates? It is one of the smart code, I believe it is %hint. It will put the hint in the message area instead of the cache title. Quote
