+turner774 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I have a yellow Garmin ETrex and I am having problems getting my waypoints to download to Easy GPS. After going to Geocaching.com and retreiving waypoints, I want to send them into Easy GPS, but when I hit download, it wants to send the waypoints to GSAK. How do I get Geocaching.com from hide and seek to Easy GPS? Thanks a lot in advance for all the help you can give me. I am new at this. turner774 Quote Link to comment
+El Diablo Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Find the GASK file to where ever you saved it. Right click on the file. Click open with, then choose EasyGPS. El Diablo Quote Link to comment
+Chuy! Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 (edited) I think El Diablo means find the gpx or loc file, then, right-click, hit "Open With", then "Choose Program", and finally, select EasyGPS. There will be a box asking if you want to always use this program to open this type of file. I would click the box to avoid this procedure every time. You can also open up EasyGPS and open the gpx or loc file. If you have MapSource, it can open up loc and gpx files if you have a current version - I think it started with v6.9.

+PDOP's Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 IIRC EasyGPS forces LOC file association every time it's started so if the OP starts EasyGPS before he downloads waypoint it should work. Quote Link to comment
topografix Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 IIRC EasyGPS forces LOC file association every time it's started so if the OP starts EasyGPS before he downloads waypoint it should work. That is no longer the case. The EasyGPS installer will associate .gpx and .loc files with EasyGPS if no other program is currently associated with them. Otherwise, it leaves your computer settings alone. If you hold Shift while right-clicking a file, you can click Open With, Choose Program, and check "Always use this program for this kind of file..."

+Chaos Team Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Why have GSAK loaded on your computer if you want to use easyGPS then you only have one option Quote Link to comment
+Bad_CRC Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 are you downloading the file to your computer and then trying to open it? or when you try to download the file it's automatically opening? if it's the second, you may need to check your firefox or IE settings to allow you to download the file before opening.
