JROFam Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Hi, I have a new Garmin GPSMAP 66st; I'm playing with the custom filters for Geocaching. I'd like to be able to create a filter for: Available during winter Abandoned structure Etc, however, I don't know what codes to use. Here's a sample file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <GeocacheFilter> <Settings> <Version>1</Version> <Types> <Type>0</Type> <Type>1</Type> <Type>2</Type> <Type>3</Type> <Type>4</Type> <Type>5</Type> <Type>6</Type> <Type>7</Type> <Type>8</Type> <Type>9</Type> <Type>10</Type> <Type>11</Type> </Types> <Sizes> <Size>0</Size> <Size>1</Size> <Size>2</Size> <Size>3</Size> <Size>4</Size> <Size>5</Size> <Size>6</Size> <Size>7</Size> </Sizes> <SizeMin>1.0</SizeMin> <SizeMax>5.0</SizeMax> <DifficultyMin>1.0</DifficultyMin> <DifficultyMax>5.0</DifficultyMax> <TerrainMin>1.0</TerrainMin> <TerrainMax>5.0</TerrainMax> <AwesomeMin>1.0</AwesomeMin> <AwesomeMax>5.0</AwesomeMax> <Statuses> <Status>0</Status> <Status>1</Status> <Status>2</Status> </Statuses> </Settings> </GeocacheFilter> Quote Link to comment
+31BMSG Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 (edited) Read the documentation for the Garmin, does the sample file show the only filter parameters you can specify or can you add to them? I would hate to see you brick a new GPSr because it wouldn't digest a XML file it wasn't intended to use. The ID for available in winter is 15 and 54 for abandoned structure but attributes have to be in their own section, for example: <Groundspeak:attributes> <Groundspeak:attribute id="7" inc="1">Takes less than an hour</Groundspeak:attribute> <Groundspeak:attribute id="13" inc="1">Available at all times</Groundspeak:attribute> <Groundspeak:attribute id="25" inc="0">Parking available</Groundspeak:attribute> <Groundspeak:attribute id="27" inc="1">Drinking water nearby</Groundspeak:attribute> </Groundspeak:attributes> Edited November 22, 2018 by 31BMSG Quote Link to comment

What 31BMSG posted was what the attributes look like in a GPX file, which doesn't directly apply to what you're trying to do other than indicate the attribute IDs. Are you sure that the device can filter on attributes? I'd expect that any available filter options would be those shown in the filter options on the device, so if you can't create a filter based on attributes on there, then there's a good chance that you won't be able to make a custom XML filter that will. 1 Quote Link to comment
