Txering hints/notes via GSAK

[+Team Teague]

Is there a way to transfer the hints of notes to GSAK and then to our Garmin Map60CS????

 

Thanks!

You can use the special codes offered by GSAK to get a useful Waypoint name and also get the hint in the Comments section.

 

This is the waypoint code I use:

 

%smart=6 %con1%typ1%dif1%ter1

 

That gives me the first six letters of the cache name, the Size of the container, the Type of cache, followed by the Difficulty and the Terrain, based on a 10-point scale.

 

In the comments, I use this code:

 

%Name=10 %hint

 

That gives me a litle more of the cache name followed by the hint, up to the character limit.

I use this code:

 

line 1: %smart=20 %code

line 2: %typ/%con $dif/$ter %last4 Lf:%datelf by " + $By

 

which means smart name of length 20 with the gc code.

on line 2 you have the type, container, difficulty, terrain, last 4 tries, last found date and placed by.

 

If you want a hint there is another code which I don't know by heart. I don't use that as I have all necessary information on my PDA.

On the "send to GPS" dialogue box, there is a a blank where you can "build the waypoint name . . . " That is where you put the codes for your Waypoint name.

 

The place for the hint code is in the blank for the "Waypoint description format (comments)."
