+YeOleImposter Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 Thought I should share the wealth. GSAK has been so helpful I thought I would try to post how I am setting things up with different programs so that 1) Others don't have to reinvent the wheel and 2) Other Others can show me how to build a better wheel For Mapoplis I export a GPX file named sample.gpx the "Waypoint Name (code)" does not really matter - I put in %Code with the following "cache description format (real cache name)" %Name %Typ1(%Dif/%Ter) Then I run the following batch file with the gpx file as the first parameter gpx2mapopolis.bat sample rem -- start of file REM - output geocache Mapopolis csv file gpsbabel.exe -s -i gpx -f %1.gpx -o mapconverter -F %1.txt echo . echo %1.txt needs to be converted... echo Please type in %1.txt when the Mapconverter box pops up then hit 'begin' echo . REM - Convert the csv file to Mapopolis file rem - command line arguments ignored mapconverter.exe Rem - Install file %1.pdb rem - end of file hope this helps someone.... Quote Link to comment

+Alan2 Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 (edited) Huh? What'd'ya say? I've been using gpxtomaplet. It converts the gpx file created by GSAK to a Mapopolis maplet that I copy into my PPC. For a computer "wizard" like me it's about all I can handle. Alan Edited May 22, 2004 by Alan2 Quote Link to comment
+Rosco Bookbinder Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 I'm not sure why the complicated batch file and all that when all you have to do is save out the .gpx file, double click the GPXtoMaplet.exe file and your done. Anything more to me would be over kill to get the same result. IMHO Quote Link to comment
