You just need to copy the GPX file into your sync folder. Then when you open GPXSonar on the PPC you open the file there.

I am using a P910i, just joint as premium member. By using pocket querry and receiver via email. On my PC I just copy the file.gpx into p910i folder. Files.prc in the email attachment. I just click on this file.prc then the mobipocket transfer screen pop up, I click ok and the file.prc will transfer into my P910i. I do encounter error open file.gpx on my P910i. My solution was just open the file.gpx with easygpx and save it then transfer back into the p910i and the problem solved. With pocket querry it save me a lot of time for paperless geochching. My probem may different with your PPC. Just to share if you encounter any problem on .gpx file, try my method. I have no problem on file.prc.

Since you have GPXSonar installed you can get rid of Mobipocket, most people don't like it, myself included. You should copy the .gpx file to your sync folder before opening it in Easygps as Easygps strips out most of the information from the .gpx file. Save the file to your hard drive before opening it in Easygps. Then, if you do open it in Easygps, don't save the file after loading the waypoints to your gps. Otherwise, Easygps will overwrite the complete .gpx file with an abbreviated one.

One other thought. Sometimes active sync will convert the file to something not very desirable. Maybe try to copy the GPX file to a memory flash card from the PC and then use the memory card in the PDA. This will bypass active sync.

1) Unzip the file.

2) Copy the fresh virginal file to your PDA.

3) Then open the original in EasyGPS and load the points into your GPS.

 

Don't ever, ever, ever, save the GPX file with EasyGPS. It read them fine, but it can't save them correctly.

 

That could be your problem. If not we need to look somewhere else.

I think JPatton is right about EasyGPS messing up the GPX file. There is a lot of information in the file as it comes from geocaching.com, that isn't used by EasyGPS.

 

A suggestion: get GSAK and forget about EasyGPS.

Thank you so much for the instructions! I was having the same problem.
