+J+L Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Hello, I recently had to reinstall my operating system and have come across a recurrance of an old problem once i reinstalled Garmin Mapsource. For some reason it always missed the geocaching.wlx weblink plugin that allows me to right click on the map and find close geocaches, which is really handy. Last time i managed to find a copy via google, but for the life of me i cant find one to download this time around. Would be great if anyone has a copy they could send me or a link to somewhere i can download. Many thanks (apologies if this has been asked alot, i did search but it kept timing out) Quote Link to comment

+jarry Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Open notepad. Copy/paste the code below. Save as geocaching.wlx --------------------------------------------------- What about searching just Trad caches for example? And a question - do exists something similar to use it at Waymarking.com same way? Quote Link to comment

+contax Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Tried to Copy/paste the suggested code in Notepad. But when i tried to install it in Mapsource I got a message that the file was not a Garmin web-link file. (when I stored it in Notepad a got the message that I had to store it in Unicode). What have i done wrong? Quote Link to comment
savant9 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Sorry, I missed the replies to this. It can give you problems if the text is in a font/language that you dont have installed on your computer. Here is a simplified one with english only... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <weblink xmlns="http://www.garmin.com/xmlschemas/WebLinkExtensions/v1" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.garmin.com/xmlschemas/WebLinkExtensions/v1 http://www.garmin.com/xmlschemas/WebLinkExtensions/v1/WebLinkExtensionsv1.xsd"> <displayName> <token xsi:type="LocalizedLiteral_t"> <content language="ENU" string="Find Near Caches on geocaching.com"/> </token> </displayName> <wlxNamespace>www.garmin.com/xmlschemas/WebLinkExtensions/geocaching.com</wlxNamespace> <version>2</version> <supportedLanguages> <supportedLanguage>ENU</supportedLanguage> </supportedLanguages> <url> <token xsi:type="Literal_t" content="http://www.geocaching.com/seek/nearest.aspx?origin_lat="/> <token xsi:type="Value_t" format="LAT_DEFAULT"/> <token xsi:type="Literal_t" content="&origin_long="/> <token xsi:type="Value_t" format="LON_DEFAULT"/> </url> </weblink> Open notepad.... copy/paste that text... save as.... then select File name: geocaching.wlx Save as type: All files Encoding: UTF-8 Should work just fine like that. As far as one for Waymarking.com.... you should be able to look at the format of the file and the format used at Waymarking and make the required changes to the file. Quote Link to comment
savant9 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I made one for Waymarking.com.... posted in this thread... http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=219958 Quote Link to comment
