It's interesting to see the contrast in the photography posted on this thread... You guys are posed so nicely along the river while in a previous shot Russ is raising hell in the desert!

So glad that you didn't crunch yourself. Let me see now, one crunched truck, one crunched PDA, and one crunched pair of sunglasses. That leaves your cell phone, your GPSr, and your laptop to go. Maybe a new thread is in order for crunched Geocaching equipment. ... but are y' havin' fun? Harmon Quote

+Miragee Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 *** This Just In *** - Rocket Man is no Longer Paperless - Crap - Read Story Here: Bummer. That is a painful picture to look at because it looks like the same model Palm I have. Now you can add your story and picture to the Palm Graveyard. A few years ago, I found a hard metal case for my Palm -- for cheap -- at BigLots! Since I have dropped the Palm a few times while juggling it, my walking stick, and the GPSr, I have been very thankful for that now-dented and scratched case. The good news is, you can get a new Palm on eBay for a relatively-small investment -- less than an insurance deductible for replacing more expensive units. Quote

In the past two weeks I've set up paperless caching for a neighbor and for a relative. Both of them bought a Garmin 60CSx GPSr. One problem is that GSAK hasn't been updated to support the modified USB protocol of the CSx. Result is that GSAK can't transfer data to the CSx. The problem is acknowledged on the GSAK web site. Quote

+Miragee Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 You can Export your filtered caches from GSAK to Mapsource format, then open that file in Mapsource and send the caches from Mapsource to the CSx. I did that from my laptop to fisnjack's new CSx and was suprised it worked because I thought I needed an updated USB driver. It takes less than a minute to do that, and you can preview the caches on the map to make sure the filter is correct. Quote

The author of GPSBabel, the program that translates the .gpx files, is working on the fix. His program is what Clyde uses "under the hood" in GSAK. I think it has been hard for him to get the necessary information from Garmin in order to make the progam changes. - - - - - - - - - - DaMoores, Congratulations! Now you have a Backup unit.
