Gpx Files For Pocket Pc

[+gsm_family]

Hope this is the correct forum for this..

 

I looked at the FAQ, but didn't find anything...I'm new to the premium membership and want to use its features..

 

I can dl an LOC file for all the caches within my search.

 

Is there a way to dl the GPX files for the pocketPC without going into each cache and saving?

 

I'm using an etrex GPS and a pocketPC. I'd like to save all the GPX's to the pocket PC and all the LOC's to the GPS for a particular search - say 10 miles within a zip code, so I don't have to print out ahead of time and when out, can just read the GPX's when on the hike - I'm kind of a spur of the monment type of person and want to search waypoints on the GPS by closest - then look them up on the pocketPC.

 

I guess my flat out question is - how can I easily download all the GPX files for a given search?

 

thanks!

Dom

I use GPXSonar to achieve the goal you seek. You can find it at the resources section of gc.com:

Happy Caching!

yes, I already downloaded that... can't figure out how to get all the GPX files for a search though?

 

can you offer any guidance?

is the only way via a pocket query?

Yep, only way to get .gpx is via pocket query. Once you have it, xfer it to ppc and away you go. I love it. The files on my ipaq look just like they do on gc.com.

The GPX files carry a whole lot more information. So the PQs are limited to 5 per day and run on non-peak server time.

 

What you seem to be looking for is getting a PQ "on the fly" - and given Jeremy's past responses and some of the complaints about server issues recently, I doubt that this will EVER happen.

 

Go ahead - let the PQs come to you by e-mail. It's usually good enough.
