.gpx file

[+Hawley152]

A friend of mine uses the .gpx file and I wondering what the .gpx file contained. Does it include the description and the hints and also the size and difficulty of a cache. He has a GPS 60 and so do I.

GPS contains all of that plus the last 5 logs.

 

Your GPS 60 doesn't support all of the data from a GPX file but if you use GSAK you can use your GPS 60 to at least give you the terrain, difficulty, size and type

 

Using smart tags in GSAK you can manipulate the GC name to provide that data. For example if the GC name is GC12345 and it's a traditional micro with a terrain and difficulty of 1, the GSAK will change the GC name to TM12345 1 1.

 

Or if GC54321 it is a multi micro with a difficulty of 3 and terrain of 1.5 the GC name will be changed to MM54321 3 A (letters represent half stars a=1.5, b=2.5, c=3.5 etc.)
