+h2o z Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I have a week old Oregon 450 and really like geocaching with it so far. I usually do just a few caches at a time so I just click and "send to GPS" from my Macintosh computer. But, I have solved some puzzle caches and would like to upload the regular information into my Oregon and then go in and changed the coordinates. Right now I just put it in as a waypoint but I lose all of the geocache info and the recordkeeping. Can someone help me change the coordinates of a geocache? Quote Link to comment

If you use GSAK you can edit the cache coords with the final location before you upload them to your GPSr. If not, you'll probably have to stick to making a waypoint for the final then after finding it, 'go to' your geocache and mark it found.

+Triple Crown Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 GSAK is a no go with Macintosh. It's ok, even though you're a Mac user, you're still probably a good person. Not sure if Boot Camp would work, but there are probably some Mac users that could help. Quote Link to comment
+trondkj Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 GSAK is a no go with Macintosh. I am a Mac user, and I am a GSAK user, on my Mac. I use VMWare, it gives me the best of both worlds. An alternative is of course the MacCaching application from www.maccaching.com, but it is not as versatile and useful as GSAK is. Quote Link to comment
+CortandTrent Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 GSAK works in CrossOver on Mac as well. Quote Link to comment

As a last resort, if there's no other way to do it, you can edit the GPX and correct the coordinates. A GPX is a XML file, so any XML editor will work. If you don't have an XML editor, any text editor will work. Quote Link to comment
