Help with Loading Waypoints

[+msnake]

Tried MapSource and EasyGPS. Both only allow me to upload one waypoint at a time. While this is still better than doing it manually, I cant figure out how to do a batch upload. EasyGPS is definitely easier though. Thanks!

One more issue with this upload onto the Legend aside from only doing one at a time. It names them all by their GC**** name. Not the name I gave it when I downloaded them.

I feel this thread is getting off topic. Should this newb start a new one?

I split it out for you.

Have you updated your software yet?

Become a premium member for $3 per month and then setup a Pocket query to use a program like GSAK to shuffle them into your GPS any way you like.

(You can actually just copy the coordinates from the geocaching.com listing, and paste them directly into the Position box.)

 

To make things easier let me suggest you to save the geocaching.loc file to your computer and open it directly with mapsource, that way you don't have to enter coordinates manually, you have a bunch of waypoints you can transfer at once to your unit.

True. I have to remember not to give advice when I'm doing three other things at once.

bring in a .loc into Mapsource.

save the file as a .gdb (say NewGdb.gdb).

load .loc file number 2.

highlight the waypoint, right click.

select 'Copy'

open your .gdb file (NewGdb.gdb).

right click in the left pane and select 'Paste'

'Save'

 

repeat.

 

now all waypoints are in one file and can be batched down.
