+Nuwati Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Could someone help me out with the Draw Layer concept. I want to export cache waypoints to my PDA. There is not anything in the Help section that deals with this. Could someone pass along a step by step description? Thanks in advance for any help you can pass along. Cache on!

+Blaidd-Drwg Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Hopefully, someone will be able to fill in holes I'm sure I'll leave. First off, in my situaton, I have TOPO USA v5 on my computer, and Streets and Atlas Handheld 2005 on my PDA. Once I have all my waypoints in TOPO, I then click on the Handheld Tab and follow the prompts for Exchange of waypoints. Once you've completed the Exchange process, you then hotsync your PDA and the waypoints are displayed in SAH2005. My issue with this process is that once you have the waypoints placed on your PDA in SAH2005, there is no way to manage them. You can delete waypoints, one at a time, but this is a very time consuming process if you load a PQ of 500 points. Another issue is that if you modify the waypoints on your computer and then Exchange them again, then a second instance of existing waypoints will be added, resulting in the same waypoint in SAH2005 being labeled twice, and requireing two delete processes to remove it. I have asked the tech help at Delorme if there was a method for mass updating waypoints. There answer is that it can only be done, one at a time. Hope this helps, but I find it frustrating.

+Nuwati Posted February 22, 2005 Author Share Posted February 22, 2005 Do I have to have Topo or the streets program to accomplish this? All I have is the desktop for the Handheld version. Are you starting to see my problem? Nuwati Quote Link to comment
+Blaidd-Drwg Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 My understanding is that you have to have one of the desktop programs, either TOPO or SAH in order to create the waypoints. My procedure is to export the waypoints from GSAK loaded with my PQ, and then to import them into TOPO Quote Link to comment
