+GreyPurrson Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Hello All!!! I am running a Mac OSX 10.4.7 not with the intel processor. Is there any program that I can get that will open up the .loc files on the geocaching cache pages? I am thinking of buying a program called Guest PC which allows you to install windows xp on your mac but wondering if there is an easier way???? Any input on this would be appreciated! Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment
+TomandGina Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 What do you want to do with the .loc files? You can open them in a text editor like TextEdit, but it will not make much sense to read. If you want to use them with your GPS, I would download GPSBabel+. It's a free program that will load the waypoints from the .loc file directly into your GPS unit. It will also convert the .loc to other file types if you need it. Quote Link to comment

Inukshuk94 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Is there a program like GPS Babel that will work with Lowrance? Quote Link to comment
