Explorist 500 200 work around

[+Pop's Posse]

Is there a workaround for the 200 cache limit in the explorist 500 gps?

Just keeping multiple GC files stored on the card rather than trying to do it all in one large file.

 

I haven't seen any solid work-arounds for actually exceeding that cap in one file though, sorry.

I have a macro that will automatically split the geocaches into multiple files, based on distance from GSAK center point, which in my case is my home coordinates. It names the files 2-23-Local, 23-45-Local, 45-67-Local, etc. The "Local is just my designation for my local area caches (GSAK database name). The numbers are the distance. Sometimes it's a pain to have to switch files as I move away from my home coordinates, but it's the best workaround I've found. It will take thousands of geocaches & split them into 200 cache files in a couple of seconds. I didn't write the macro, but found it on the GSAK form, I think. I did modify the macro to change the destination folder. Let me know if you need the macro or need further help.
