Bashaw Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 I'm using GSAK to load 34 local caches onto my Garmin 60csx for a demonstration. I have found 26 of the caches. Gsak is sending only the 8 I haven't found! I need them all, but can't figure out what i'm doing wrong. Can anyone help? Quote Link to comment
+Miragee Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Are you looking in the list of Waypoints, or the list of Geocaches? Since the ones you found should have the open Treasure Chest icon, they are probably in the Waypoints list. Quote Link to comment

Aha, they are in my waypoint list, but for the purposes of the demo I want to do can i get them into the geocache list? Quote Link to comment

Hmmm, don't know how to do that... Quote Link to comment
+Miragee Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Select the Waypoint and navigate up to the name, then left to the icon area. Hit "Enter" and then you should have all sorts of icon choices. For the demonstration, you could also create a new database in GSAK and Copy the waypoints to that database. Then change the status from Found to Unfound. Then Delete the waypoints from your GPSr and resend them from the new database. I have customized the icons for the waypoints I send from GSAK. The Found ones go over to the GPSr as the Open Treasure chest, but if it happens to be Archived now, it goes over as a little tombstone . . . My Owned caches get sent as the little camera, since there is usually a nice view at my caches. Quote Link to comment
Bashaw Posted July 8, 2007 Author Share Posted July 8, 2007 Brilliant! I hadn't discovered that I could change the icons on the GPSr! Thanks for all the info! Quote Link to comment
