+wyrdsister Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 H there I have just started using GSAK - I have paid for a membership. When I download my pocket query it is not taking the cache data with it i.e the previous logs, hints. I was under the impression that the paid membership enables this to happen. Any ideas (Newbie response please anything to technical and im a goner) Quote Link to comment
+SSO JOAT Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 So, when you are looking at a cache listing in the GSAK window, you do not see a section (default on the right side under the map) that has the recent log entries? What GPX version do you have your PQs set for? You should use GPX 1.0 and not the 1.0.1 version. This is set in your gc.com profile. Quote Link to comment

Is there a reason you think attributes are a bad thing to have in GASK? Just so the OP has a variety of opinions I would recommend using 1.0.1 just so you get everything. The next question is how do you download the pocket query? 20 at a time on the review page or via the Groundspeak.com access for pocket query download? Quote Link to comment
+Kacher82 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Do you get the cache description? If you're getting the pocket query in .LOC format, all you'll get is basically the cache name, number, and coordinates. A .GPX file should have the description, along with the last 5 logs and any hints. Quote Link to comment
+SSO JOAT Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Actually, you are correct on GPX version. It is the GPS that cannot read the 1.0.1 file, not GSAK. I've gone away from all the 1.0.1 stuff because of that. Loading that version to a GPS makes the file unusable. Quote Link to comment

But I'm not sure if GSAK exports them on a send to GPS if they are present. Quote Link to comment

Its set for 1.0 Edited May 28, 2013 by wyrdsister Quote Link to comment

AA single load from the website goes to gps ok. Quote Link to comment

Don't want to drag this way off topic, but when I moved from a Garmin that required individual waypoints to the newer OS that could handle GPX files, the Garmins would NOT recognize a gpx file in version 1.0.1 and that was just last year. I switched to using 1.0 and everything started working fine. Never looked back. If Garmin has put out firmware upgrades that correct the 1.0.1 issue, that would be great and I'll have to look into it and see if this is really the case. Quote Link to comment
+SSO JOAT Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 OP wyrdsister... Can you post a screenshot of what you have in GSAK? I don't see any way that you can shut off logs in the PQ setup at GC.com or strip them while importing your PQs to GSAK. You certainly can strip off logs when you export from GSAK, but you are saying that logs are not arriving via the PQ in the first place. I don't understand how that can be. Quote Link to comment
+Manville Possum Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I have never used GSAK, and I find this topic interesting. I am following a few different threads, some in the GSAK forums. My concern is Garmin's new GGZ file format on the new Oregon 650's and how GSAK works. The only way I can download to my Magellan Triton 500 is via Vantage Point. When I try downloading from here the unit will not connect to my PC. Quote Link to comment

Screen shots on the GSAK forum are fall down easy. You will probably get better advice over on the GSAK forums. Edited May 29, 2013 by jholly Quote Link to comment
