+StarBrand Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 First I would advise you to spend $3/month to be a premium member then you can run Pocket Queries and get files with all the caches you like as a GPX file whice works with GSAK. Then you simply load them into GSAK and the hook up your cable and transfer to your legend - be sure to set the right com port you are using. (way oversimplified but try it!) As a "regular" member you can download a page of .loc files from any search page and then use EasyGPS to get them to your GPS. Link to comment

+Kai Team Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 There is a main GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife) thread here: GSAK Thread It's monitored by the author (ClydeE) and a number of experienced users. Although the discussion gets esoteric (macros, et al) beginner's questions are always welcome and quickly answered. Link to comment
