+sarhound Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I had read in the forum the other day about using ST2GPX to convert a route in MS S&T to a form that's usable with the GSAK poly filter. I did find the file, but I'm having trouble running it-- I can't get to the command line to run it. When I double click on the executable, I get a quick flash on the screen that it's been called up, but it blips off immediately. Bear in mind that command lines and I are not friends. Can someone give me a heads-up on how to call it up? I know, I should be able to figure this out on my own, but I'm a GUI/visually oriented person. I get a little dyslexic when a lot of text is involved. I also have a C> phobia. I'm trying to work a route to Branson, MO by Friday -- planning a cache raid along the way. It's a real pain to work with MapSend; S&T makes it a lot easier to get a decent route. Slowly plugging my way thru the software maze... Quote Link to comment

+PDOP's Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 The new beta version of GSAK can read route points from S&T files and use them to filter for caches along a route. Poly/arc filter load file now supports MapSoursce GDB route files, S&T EST route files, and AutoRoute AXE route files Quote Link to comment
+Pez Tonto Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Here are some simple, step by step instructions: -- Open "Command Prompt" from your "Accessories" folder; -- change to the directory where you installed st2gpx; -- at the command prompt enter: st2gpx filter.est –G filter.gpx where filter.est is stored in your current directoryand filter.gpx will be created in your current directory.

+sarhound Posted November 22, 2005 Author Share Posted November 22, 2005 Aha! Thanks for the help! I did finally get a result from the command line, but I think I'll just go ahead and download the beta. I was waiting for it to go to a final, but since I need the functionality now, I'll take a chance that it won't break on me. Quote Link to comment
