Using Gsak Program ??

[+GeoGordie]

Hi gang,

 

Question please, I am trying to figure out how to select one / individual / seperate way point from the GASK program to down load to the GPS. The waypoints were downloaded from the cache site here .. works great . loads right into the program ... but when I want to select just one or two seperates points from GSAK to load on the GPS .. without having to load all 12 - 20 points at once. I know you can go in asd ask for 1 to 1 or 4 to 4 depending on the location in GSAK .. is there not a way to just click on the one I want and send it to my GPS ... one at at time if desired ? Does any of this question make sense to any or all?

Thanks again for your patience.

Oh, BTW .. in the near future, my name..handle will change from KW4CZ to "Geo Gordie" along with a profile picture ... think you will like how the new look will be !!

If you have the most recent version of GSAK, it does this.

 

Right click on any waypoint and you'll see an option to "send to GPS."

 

As far as I can tell, you can only do one at a time.

On the right side of the screen, there is a box you can check (it looks like a small person). Place a check in the boxes you want to send to your GPS.

 

Next, you need to filter out everything except those that you flagged.

 

Click on the dropbox called "select a saved filter". You will be given a choice of filters to use...select "User Flag". This will filter all the caches except your chosen ones.

 

Now you can select "send waypoints to gps".

 

Hope this helps

The quick and dirty way to do it is just click on the Send Waypoints menu item under GPS. Then when the dialog to send the waypoints comes up, put in the waypoint you want to send. It comes up usually as 1 to 20, assuming you have 20 waypoints in the database. Change those numbers to the number of the waypoint you want to send, set the other options to your preference, and click Send.

 

You can click the User box, and set the user flag, then set a filter on caches with the user flag set, and then send the waypoint(s) you want. Either way works.

Now that is a good idea for the saved filters but does't he have to have SAVED that filter first?

 

I would suggest you click the find icon (magnifier on paper) and then select user flag set. This filters out all but the ones you checked - then click the lightning bolt to send to the gps.

 

Now the really easy way is to right click and select send now.

 

Suggest you go to the Software and GPS forum and check out the GSAK thread.

You can also just start typing the cache name in the search block and stop when the cache is displayed alone. Lots of ways to get it done.

Isn't the "UserSet" filter one of the default filters, or did I create it so long ago that I forgot about creating and saving it?

 

Cache Well

[+Team Namthcof]

are we the only ones who are having problems? We can download waypoints and get them into GSAK but when we try to transfer to our Zire PDA using CacheMate only 1 or 2 come over.

Why not post this in the GPS Units and Software thread and have your questions answered by ClydeE, the author of GSAK?

I don't have that one - I have last activated and a couple I saved.

 

methinks you must have saved it yourself - I have had several version here and not had that one -

 

it does sound like a default filter tho

[+LordSaw]

I guess I it must have been the first one I saved. I have used it so much it seems like a default.

I also thought the user flag filter was an included filter with the program...

Just to set the record straight, yes it is.

 

I can't remember which version this was added though.

 

Also note, that you only get this on a NEW installation, not when upgrading as we don't want to wipe out all the filters you already have.

[+CompuCash]

ah that makes sense - thanks Clyde - wondered if you might ring in here -

 

either you guys got it as a new install, before I did - or I upgraded through it.

 

So looky looky - a rarity - we are both right!
