Downloading waypoints


RV CREW

Recommended Posts

Please help, I am going nuts.

I am a Premium member, also I downloaded and registered GSAK and CacheMate. When I do a pocket query and receive it by email and export it to CacheMate everyting turns out great. I use a Tungsten C.

 

The problem I am having is when I try and DOWNLOAD WAYPOINTS I am not getting all the Info to my Palm like I do when I perform a pocket query. The Hints and Past Logs to not get downloaded to the Palm I will list the steps I do for this

 

1. From Find page I click on more than one box in the far right column.

2. I click DOWNLOAD WAYPOINTS

3. I Save to my Documents

4. I open Documents and Double click on what I saved

5. This open GSAK and I click OK

6. This Downloads the data and it appears

Why is the Last Log and Last Found column both empty?

When I do a pocket query these column have info in them.

7. I then Export to CacheMate, without all the info I would get if I did a pocket query.

The Download Waypoints option on a list of caches downloads a .loc file not a .gpx file. The loc file just contains the coordinates, the gpx file has all the good info in it. You can either download a gpx file for an individual cache (there is a link at the top of each cache page), or you can use a PQ, those are the only two ways to get gpx data. Hope this helps.
