Recommended Posts

I have an explorist 500 and gsak and downloading from geocaching .com. When I download thw cach info to the gps I can not receive any info on the hint section. Could someone please help me. I am wondering if it is possible to do this.

The .loc file doesn't download the hint or description. You have to download the .gpx file (you must be a premium member). I ran into this very same problem and it works beautifully witht he gpx......

If you're downloading gpx. files into GSAK, the hint info is there. You may need to look at how you're loading the info from GSAK into your GPS. When you go to Send Waypoints to GPS there's pull down box, be sure and put %hint in the waypoint description format box. You'll get as much of the hint as your GPS will support (ie, as many characters. )
