Converting files for my Lowrance ifinder

[+yoteman]

I have a Lowrance Ifinder H20 version. I now know Lowrance uses usr and not loc for data transfer. What is the easiest way to convert the loc files from waypoint downloading off the geocache website into a usr file that my lowrance will like. Thanks.

I have an Guide for that here:

Look at the "Geocaching Guide" Page. Since your a Premium Member I recommend the second article down the page.

Easy, just use GSAK. You can do all kinds of neat things like designate different icons for different types of caches and more. Neat program!

Thanks for the help. For some reason I am not getting the email file sent to me. I don't know if it is an ISP deal or what. I was able to use the part for non PM and was able to make that work for me just fine. Why can't all gps makers play by the same rules?

 

Anyhow, thanks again

Well, now, wait a minute. It's not the GPS manufacturer's fault that you aren't receiving your pocket query. In fact, all of the GPS manufacturers require some type of conversion to read the pocket queries on their receiver. None of them (the GPS manufactuer's conversions) are that difficult, but you do have to have the base data first.

 

It sounds like your problem is with your ISP or GC.com rather than the receiver. This has been a topic that has been discussed on a few occasions on the website forum section, so you should check that out for some help.
