+m1brown Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Hi , i just bought a 60csx manily for the atv, but i ended up downloading some geocasches on the unit and now i am hooked. When i go out looking i sometimes need the extra help such as the hint i was wondering if anyone could give me simple step by step instruction to get this much needed information to my gps, i am a premium member and i have gsak , but i dont have the knowledge to do this, much needed help.

+Gitchee-Gummee Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 (edited) Not for sure, but I do not believe the 60CSx will load more than what you already have. i.e. no hints or logs. Later arriving GPSr units are true paperless, the 60CSx is just a touch to early. Sorry. Edited April 12, 2010 by Gitchee-Gummee Quote Link to comment
+Knight2000 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 (edited) You can edit the GSAK tags when you upload the info. This controls how your GPSr will display that waypoint. I do not have that GPSr but a friend does and he has it so he can get the hint. You are limited by the number of characters though. I don't know what the 60csx limit is. http://www.gsak.net/help/hs10300.htm *edit to add that he only gets part of the hint sometimes. It looks like the tag is %hint = The decoded hint Edited April 12, 2010 by Knight2000 Quote Link to comment
+IBcrashen Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 (edited) You can put the hints in as POI`s using this GSAK macro and Garmins POI Loader. Run the macro in GSAK and it will create a file, as always know where you are saving the file. Then just run the POI Loader and point it to that file. When you need the hint just hit find/POI and it should be the closes one. I turn everything off except the hint on the macro. Edited April 12, 2010 by IBcrashen Quote Link to comment
