Guest dmdeitz Posted July 28, 2001 Share Posted July 28, 2001 is there any way to get a whole bunch of waypoints of caches in my area in one fell swoop to enter into easygps or do you have to go to each page 1 at a time? Quote Link to comment
Guest geoark1 Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 Appears just one at a time and that Sucks Quote Link to comment
Guest Gliderguy Posted August 6, 2001 Share Posted August 6, 2001 I did the one at a time for about 30 waypoints, (it got pretty quick after I memorized the commands, and I also ran them from their current location instead of saving them to disk) then after I had them all in the GPS I downloaded the gps waypoints back to easygps and saved that as a file... now at least I have a nice archive of all of the nearby caches.

Guest dmdeitz Posted August 7, 2001 Share Posted August 7, 2001 Thanks guys - the brute force method looks like the way to go. Quote Link to comment
Guest Moun10Bike Posted August 7, 2001 Share Posted August 7, 2001 It looks like you can download multiple caches at once now -- the "Nearest Caches" screen is now putting checkboxes to the right of each cache in the list, and it looks liek you can check multiple and download them all at once. ------------------ Jon (Moun10Bike) 27H/71F/3C/2S/2X N 47° 36.649', W 122° 3.616' www.switchbacks.com/geocaching.html Quote Link to comment

Guest dmdeitz Posted August 7, 2001 Share Posted August 7, 2001 wow! what a great improvement! Now, is there a way to combine the 2-3-4 different loc files in easyGPS? I tried cutting and pasting the text files (leaving the header off of the cut and paste), but it didn't work. Quote Link to comment
Guest Sekafetz Posted August 8, 2001 Share Posted August 8, 2001 Thank you! That is so nice! Tried it and works great! Quote Link to comment

Don't take out the "headers". This is XML. I've heard that you can just concatenate multiple ".loc" files into one big .loc file. In DOS, I believe the way to do this is: copy point1.loc+point2.log+point3.loc allpoints.loc But I don't use Windoze, so I couldn't tell you. -- Mitch Quote Link to comment
Guest hgmonaro Posted August 8, 2001 Share Posted August 8, 2001 I've been using DOS's copy/concatination 'feature' for many years! I usually use wildcards to select the files (eg points*.loc to select the files in your example) but I just tried the '+' format and that worked to concatinate the files (didn't actually use .loc files).
