TEAM COOLMAX Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 What program should I select to open easy gps, for downloads? Quote Link to comment
Eric O'Connor Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 and/or www.geobuddy.com You install EasyGPS, run it once, and then let it load when you "open" rather than "save" the selected waypoints off the page. Geobuddy can open the file that's saved when you just "save" off the web page. Easily combining many of these and exporting the info to other formats like Mapsource.

+Bodoni Posted March 15, 2002 Share Posted March 15, 2002 And the files are just text files so you can open and edit them in any text editor. When you download the file it'll have waypoint names in the GC format. I change them to more friendly text before sending to my GPS. Quote Link to comment
+TresOkies Posted March 16, 2002 Share Posted March 16, 2002 Cho, Remind me to kill you later. Ah, nevermind, the cat's out of the bag anyway. That JPG is the new GeoBuddy logo. Pretty cool, huh? The answer to the original poster is... EasyGPS is a freeware program by TopoGrafix. Go to easygps.com to download it. It's the kid brother to their commercial products--ExpertGPS and Panterra. The files that geocaching.com generates can be read by EasyGPS (and GeoBuddy). If you have a reasonably new and/or reasonably popular GPSr, those files you get from geocaching.com can be downloaded to your GPSr with EasyGPS with no other software necessary. The drawback to EasyGPS is that it doesn't do mapping. For mapping, you need MapSource, MapSend, Streets & Trips, OziExplorer, ... Getting the .loc files to those formats is where GeoBuddy comes in. It's not a waypoint manager so much as a data converter. -E -- N35°32.981 W98°34.631 Quote Link to comment
