Uploading Hints to eXplorist 400

[+iTwix]

I'm trying to get the cache hints to upload to my gps unit.

I'm presently using GSAK and a pocket query of local 100.

I'm sure I read a post earlier about how to get the hints to upload, but I cant find it now.

 

Thanks for the help.

If it is the case that everything else seems to be uploading, but you're missing hints, then it is probably the case that you need to download your pocket queries in gpx format rather than loc format.

 

If you're having a hard time getting anything from GSAK to your 400, then check here.

 

Edit: be aware that the Explorist will display only the first 50 characters of a hint.

Thanks but I have tried to downloading both .loc files and .gpx and neither allows me to view the hints. Any other suggestions would be most helpful.

Can you see your hints in GSAK? Or is it the case that you can see them in GSAK, but not on your Explorist?

Have you use Magellan Geocaching Manager? You can write your hint in that software, but only those mentioned 50 characters. After you have open and choosen a geocache, edit it. In this edit mode, you can choose to show hint, and write it.

This may sound like a dumb question, but what folder are you loading the caches into
