Child waypoints

[+sydnsue]

I've checked all the posts I can find on this but the answers don't seem to go far enough. I use a Dakota and when I download the Pocket Query I get both gpx files. Normally I transfer just the main gpx to the Dakota. If I also load the wpts file, will this automatically associate with the caches in the main file? I look at the wpts file in EasyGPS and it is just a long list of waypoints that appear to have no association with the caches. I suppose I could just suck it and see, but I don't want to foul up what is already in the GPS.

You need the .wpts file for the stages of multi caches and things like parking co-ords.

 

The cache is called GC1234 the waypoint for it will have 2 letters to replace the GC part and the 1234 will be the same as the cache number.

 

For example:

cache is GC1234

parking will be PK1234

Stage 1 will be S11234

stage 2 will be S21234

Trail Head will be TH1234

and so on.

the additional waypoints are also listed at the end of each cache description, regardless of whether the -wtps file was loaded or not.

 

personally i change the descriptions of the additional waypoints to tell me which cache they belong to via a script. check if your software can do that - GSAK probably can.
