+Lacomo Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I just purchased a TomTom 720 and would like to add geocache waypoints on it. I don't want to take it out of my vehicle to go to the cache I just want it to get me close and then I will use my Garmin Venture CX to find the cache. Can I load sonething like a hundred waypoints at a time using a Pocket Querie? If so how do I do it? I use GSAK for my handheld GPSr. Quote Link to comment
+NOV8TR Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 GSAK has an export option. On my version it has Tomtom POI at the very bottom of the list ("File", "export", Tomtom POI file"). Make sure you direct the download to the map file (in my case it is USA Canada). It works like a charm and I download about 3,000 updated caches a week. I'm not sure what the limit is, but I haven't hit it yet! Good luck! Cache on! Quote Link to comment
+The Unpleasables Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 (edited) I use POIEdit (freeware: http://www.poiedit.com/) and it works fine as well. I've not used GSAK beyond the free trial and was able to get the functionality I needed out of POIEdit. You can import the .gpx file from GC and export a TomTom binary (poi) or itinerary file.

I ran Pocket Query and pulled it up in GSACK and went to the "export to TomTom" and can't figure what to do next. Here is the window that comes up when I click "export to TomTom" I'm just not very good at this stuff. Where do I go from here? Thanks a bunch...Lacomo Edit to add: Got it figured out Thanks all.[/size] Edited March 1, 2009 by Lacomo Quote Link to comment
