Gsak & Mapopolis


Recommended Posts

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 :huh:

 

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....

Huh? What'd'ya say? :blink:

 

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. :lol:
