snatiep Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 (edited) Hello Everyone! I have both GSAK and cachemate downloaded and installed on my desktop and my Sony Clie. The paperless part is going awesome, but my question is how can I download all 500 caches to my 60csx without having to individually "send to GPS" each listing? I hope you understand what I'm trying to ask. Thanks! Edited August 11, 2008 by snatiep Quote Link to comment
+Miragee Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Once you setup GSAK for that GPSr, you can send all 500 caches to it at one time using GPS/Send Waypoints. You can also send individual waypoints from the right click menu. Another thing you can do is Export a .gpx file and use Garmin's POI Loader to send the caches as Points of Interest. Those have more characters in the names and description, so using GSAK's "smart name" codes, you can get more information, including the hint. Quote Link to comment
snatiep Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 Thanks Miragee! I'm downloading Garmins POI loader right now.....Do I then individually export the .gpx files from the geocaching.com website using the POI loader? Quote Link to comment
+Miragee Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 If you are using GSAK, you can Export a .gpx file of the entire database. I send more than 1700 caches in my Default database at one time. I put an Unfound.gpx and Unfound.bmp file in the Update folder I point the POI load to. The .bmp is a "Treasure Chest" icon. Check out this thread for some ideas. You don't need to rename the files. Just put all the .gpx and .bmp file in one folder for the POI loader to update. Quote Link to comment
snatiep Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 Thanks again Miragee! I did get GSAK to download all cache waypoints to my 60csx. I hate to ask one more question though................. The caches come up in my 60csx under their descriptions, is there a way to download them from GSAK using the cache code, the GC####? Thank you very much for your patient help! Quote Link to comment
