Hello

 

I am going to get the GSAK but I am getting a new computer in a couple of weeks and the operating system is going to be Vista, Will gsak work with vista, I certainly hope so. After I purchase gsak can I download it to more than one of my computers?

Second question will a dell axim m5 be ok for paperless caching: and any leads to a tutorial is appreciated

I'm using GSAK with Vista without problems. In fact, I'm using it with the 64-bit version of Vista, so I doubt you'll have any problems at all.

On second thought, I did experience a minor glitch when opening PQs, an error screen saying it couldn't find my temp directory. I clicked "ignore" for a while and everything worked fine. I eventually changed a setting that stopped the message entirely. If you experience something similar, email me and I'll explain what I did. It may have simply been something to do with my computer and you might not experience it.

Here is a rudimentary GSAK tutorial that might give you a little start with it. You can install GSAK on as many computers as you use. I think your Dell Axim will work fine and Cachemate is a great program. There is both a Palm and PPC version.

Your best bet is to go over to the GSAK Support Forums and ask Clyde. He's wrote the program and is very helpful. He will answer your questions without treating you like a clueless n00b. (Which is great for folks like me!)

I can't remember the link, but one of the Florida Geocaching Clubs have a website with excellent information on paperless caching.

Thanks for the plug, Lizzy - here's Clan_Barron's article on going Paperless

Just switched GSAK over last night to a new vista machine. The only suggestion is to place it into C:/GSAK instead of C:/program files/GSAK. You have to aprove it each time it is run from the the program files location.

OK, so I am feeling really stupid right now. I just downloaded GSAK and I am trying to run an initial pocket query, but I keep getting a message that no data is selected. Obviously I have missed some step but I am at a loss as to what.

 

This is a new Vista Business machine and I haven't ever tried GSAK before. Help?

You have to run your pocket query and have the resulting file e-mailed to you. Then, when you run GSAK, you need to select that file location to initiate your query. I am currently not at my computer with GSAK installed, but if you need step-by-step intructions, e-mail me. Or, I'm sure someone else will be along to help.

Or you can save the PQ file to your desktop, then just drag it to the GSAK icon. Just make sure you have the appropriate database selected.
