+McBack Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Hi Bought the GSAK software and is importing my caches into it, but the GPX file only has the latest 20 logs in it. Is there a way to get older ones too? It's not so many so I don't think it chould be a problem. Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 In short - no. A single GPX brings in the last 20. A GPX via a Pocket Query file for up to 500 caches contains the last 5. Link to comment

+McBack Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 Yes, works. Thanks Link to comment
+pengi Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I don't know if I'm right, but this macroscript for gsak fetches one page from geocaching.com for every cache in the database to retrieve the logs? wich for a single pocket query is usally 500 pages? My thought is that if a couple of people use this script regulary, this will end up in almost a constant DDoS to the server... And a lot of people complains about the slow page... I can't se any connection... (not just this script I guess) Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 That and I just gotta believe it violates the TOS by using a program or script to "scrape" information from the pages. Link to comment
+McBack Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 I had only 38 logs in one cache so I could have edited the GPX file myself, but it was easier this way. Don't think the 18 extra logs did any harm in my case. Or??? Link to comment

Don't think the 18 extra logs did any harm in my case. Or??? I wouldn't recommend that you or anyone else uses that macro until TPTB weigh in on the issue. To me, it seams like a clear violation of GC.com's ToS. I did a quick scan of both threads on GSAK's site and couldn't find a mention of that process actually being approved by TPTB. I'd hate to see any of us booted because of something that was suggested on another site. Link to comment

+klossner Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 To sbell - I hate ? Hope you will get better. Sorry for your mental health. Good luck. You misunderstand. "I'd hate to see any of us booted" is idiomatic English for "it would make me unhappy if any of us were booted." Link to comment
