+Images4U Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I've been using an Explorist 200 for geocaching, but upgraded to the 210 so I could download waypoints instead of entering by hand. Is there a way to download multiple waypoints, without using pocket queries? I'm using the Magellian Geocache Manager. I also tried GSAK, but the learning curve seems higher. Here's what I do: 1. Find a cache I like. 2. Print it with 10 logs. 3. Bring up a map & print it. 4. Save a GPX file. In Magellian Geocache Manager I can load these files one at a time. Is there a way to combine these caches into one file or load multiple files into Magellian Geocache Manager? Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment

Check out this post about appending the list of caches sent by Geocache Manager. Ack. Misread your question. Have you tried using pocket queries? Those are available to you as a premium member. You can specify certain attributes, characteristics, and proximity requirements for caches, and get up to 500 caches per GPX file. Edited August 25, 2006 by geognerd Quote Link to comment
+parker313 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Definitely do the pocket queries. Then you can send that whole file directly from GSAK right to your Magellan. Quote Link to comment

+The Mail Man Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I use the bookmark feature to make a list of candidates for the day's hunt. You can then download that list of bookmarked entries to a .loc file. Geocache Manager can read in that file directly and, of course, upload to your 210. Quote Link to comment
+letmein Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 I now use the geocaching.com premium member pocket queries and GSAK and am never going back. But to answer your question, yes you can use the Magellan Geocache manager to load up to 200 caches per file you upload to the GPSr. That is if the geocache manager is the same for the 210 as it is for the 600 that I use. Download each .loc file individually. Open the Magellan Geocaching Manager, start to open a .loc file. Before completing the open of the .loc click the radio button that says "Append to existing list". It annoyed me every time I used the program that the append was not the default option. Permium member Pocket Query and GSAK are worth every cent if you are even mildly serious about geocaching. Quote Link to comment
