family*5 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I have a Tom Tom one (3rd addition) I hit the link that says load to GPS and all that comes up is Garmin or one that starts with an "L". Is this not available for Tom Tom? Quote Link to comment
+wesleykey Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I hit the link that says load to GPS Are you referring to GSAK? If so, look under export where you would export the files for PDA use. You should be able to export to TomTom. I have tried but never suceeded to make this work. TomTom and caching are not very compatible. Quote Link to comment
+The Blorenges Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Big Wolf has written an excellent macro for GSAK that creates POI files for the TomTom that display cache icon types and includes child waypoints. All you need is your PQ loaded into GSAK. I've written a simple guide (pdf document) that explains how to do it including searching for the caches on the TomTom. You are welcome to read it.

+tek428 Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 That pdf is no longer available. Anyone else willing to share? Quote Link to comment
+Shobra Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Oh man!! I wish that someone could post this pdf again. I have the TomTom 630 Go and have the same problems as above. It seems to be sending it the the L: (or gps) but I can't find it anywhere. I like the TomTOm better than the Nuvi in the car but maybe I should switch back to the Nuvi??? Quote Link to comment
+NOV8TR Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I export weekly all 1,000 (999) caches to my Tomtom ONEXL that I load into my Garmin Etrex Vista HCx. If you have GSAK it is a simple export. You can also load all the "paperless stuff with a bit of "tweaking" to the Linux platform that the Tomtom is operating on. Many say it is a waste of time (and now that I have found the macro to get all (most) of the same stuff loaded on my Garmin I tend to agree). Here is a Linky to what I did. Quote Link to comment

+The Blorenges Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 (edited) Ah... I incorporated it into my resources site and removed it from my other website! Sorry about that.
