+Team MGGPS Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 I just generated a PQ and it returned with 2 files. One of these files is marked with a wpts suffix tacked on to the file name. Both are .gpx files. A description of the additional file is "This additional GPX file contains supporting waypoints for your Pocket Query." What is this additional file for? When I open it using EasyGPS I get nothing. (BTW my EasyGPS is ver 1.2.5) Thanks Link to comment
+webscouter. Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 This new file contains additional waypoints that are added to a cache page. You can look at my cache here to see the additional coordinates. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...5fd9070c6&log=y These will allow you to add parking spaces, multiple waypoints for a multi/puzzle cache etc Link to comment
+Team MGGPS Posted February 13, 2006 Author Share Posted February 13, 2006 OK. So if my additional wpts gpx file contains nothing then there are no additional wpts in any of the caches in the query? How do these files merge when uploading to a PDA. I use cmconvert to get files into my Palm. Thx...MG Link to comment

However, I could simply keep a database of them in GSAK and send them to my pda as a second Plucker file. I probably would not send them to my GPSr, however. I'd rather have more caches in there than have all those coords loaded. I can always enter individual ones on-the-fly just like I've always done. Link to comment
