Mapsource will only allow one geocache waypoint at a time

[Pxtyson]

How do I get two or more .loc files to display on my mapsource waypoint tab. everytime i load another it wants to overwrite the existing one. I know this has been asked before but i can not find the thread.

i'm not sure but if this is because you want to transfer info you could always just open mapsource twice

Yeah, you're going to have to either use software that'll combine the files (like GSAK) or open it in MS, save the file, open the next, select and copy all the waypoints, reopen the saved and paste.

 

edit: or like Vlad said, open several MS and copy and paste them into one.

It's kind of convoluted, but you could:

 

1) open 1 .loc file

2) save it to the GPSr

3) open the next .loc file

4) save it to the GPSr

 

Open from the GPSr, and you'll have all the locations in Mapsource...

MapSource has a checkbox on its download screen that says something like "Turn Device Off After Download?" Uncheck that box and the GPS should stay on.

Forget add that info preview post. I did uncheck the box and funny thing is still turn device off. I guess this pretty odds. Thats only thing I problem with this gps device. overall is 100% satifed.
