+4x4scoobydoo Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 Hello all!I am running a dell axim pda with gpx sonar and a dell laptop with gsak.can anyone tell me the best way to log found caches using these tools instead of taking paper notes then logging on and trasfering the paper notes?Ive heard that you can trasfer notes in the field from the pda(gpx sonar) to the laptop with an internet conection (gsak) then straight to geocaching.com to log my visit.Any help would be a great help.We're getting tired of going on long trips and trying to remember what was what with our notes when we have found 40 or more caches. thanks, 4x4scoobydoo!!

+Canadavey Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 When you're at the main GPX Sonar window (the cache listing page) if you hold your stylus on a cache long enough for the menu to come up you'll see a "field notes" option. From there you can choose whether or not you found it, and add notes. To save your work just close the "field notes" window and a little icon will appear in the cache row (green note for found, red note for not found). Hope this helps you out. Quote

When you're done caching, there's an option to export your notes. Just export it to your computer, then in GSAK there's an option [File-Notes-Import] to import your notes. Quote
