+BountyHunter1 Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 Hi I have microsoft auto route on my pc. I have been copy and pasteing OS gr points into the find box, and saving them to a map. is there any way of getting lots of them onto the map in one go or maybe importing them. cheers bpountyhunter1 Quote Link to comment
+The Hokesters Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 Yep - get yourself a copy of GSAK which is great anyway and you can import a GPX file from Pocket Queries on GC.com. When you have tinkered with them in GSAK you can then export them as a CSV file which you can import into Autoroute and it puts little pushpin icons onto your maps - great Quote Link to comment
+The Hokesters Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 forgot to mention that you need to be a Premium member to make (good) use of Pocket queries. Si Quote Link to comment
+BountyHunter1 Posted November 13, 2004 Author Share Posted November 13, 2004 wow what can i say, absolutley fabulous (good name for a tv prog) just downloaded GSAK and 200 waypoints around Ilkeston Derbyshire and converted to CSV files then imported them to autoroute brill. would this work with fugawi mapping if i had that cheers Bountyhunter1 Quote Link to comment
+The Hokesters Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 I have Fugawi (Midlands) and haven't been able to get on with it. If you want to pick it up from my work just off Junc 25 M1 then you can have a borrow. If you like it we can come to some agreement ;-) Si Quote Link to comment
+The Gecko's Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 Hi You can download a .csv file from GeocacheUK and import it directly into Autoroute. Works really well. Dave Quote Link to comment

+tyrog Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 GSAK exports well to Fugawi. I have the north of Britain maps and would not do without either Fugawi or GSAK when it comes to planning and mapping out Geocaching trips and routes. Quote Link to comment
+1100f Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 Fugawi- named after the race of pigmys who live in the long grass region of central africa. Consequently they wander round saying "We're the Fugawi" Quote Link to comment

+BountyHunter1 Posted November 19, 2004 Author Share Posted November 19, 2004 (edited) I have just come across a problem, ive loaded waypoints from gsak after converting to csv on 1 occasion but now every time i do it or take a csv download from geocacheuk i get "bad format" when i try to import into auto route. Help please. Edited November 19, 2004 by BountyHunter1 Quote Link to comment
+BountyHunter1 Posted November 19, 2004 Author Share Posted November 19, 2004 sorted, i was trying to open the file instead of importing it thanks sorry Quote Link to comment
+wigglesworth Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 I export the file from GSAK and load into autoroute. By changing pin format you can have the URL of the cache linked to the symbol. Just doube click the pin and if you are online up comes the web page. In theory you can also have an offline link to a set of stored GSAK exported HTML files. I can't get this to work correct;y though! Peter Quote Link to comment
+BountyHunter1 Posted November 20, 2004 Author Share Posted November 20, 2004 Have just got the got the d-click on push pin sorted now takes me straight to geocaching.com web page for that cache, thanks for that one Quote Link to comment

Dave I always use GCUK for my uk caches, but as I'm off to Paris in a couple of weeks for a Romantic / Caching weekend, think I had better download a copy of GSAK Good timing this post Quote Link to comment
