+Seay me Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 (edited) I just got my 60c. Using GSAK and my GPX files I was uploading the cache information. In the name fields of GSAK I put %drop2 %dif1/%ter1 . If I understand right this should put the Geocaching.com waypoint name minus the "GC" at the begnning, a space, and the single digit difficulty/terrain rating. I get the screenshot below on my gps using this configuration. Some of the ratings are 7 when it shouldn't go over 5. The highlighted cache in question is rated at a 4/5. Any clue what I'm doing wrong? Any suggestions on how to build my variable fo hte name area to get what I want? Edited February 22, 2005 by Seay me Quote Link to comment
+mrking Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 (edited) Don't put the %drop2 at the beginning, put it at the end like this. I %dif1/%ter1%drop2 Hmmm but it mgiht screw it up too. hmmm, try it and let us know if it worked. I had a similar issue when I was trying to cut the GC and add the cache type and cache container size to the front of the name. I had to have the %drop2 at the end, even though you think you would need it at the beginning. Edited February 22, 2005 by mrking Quote Link to comment
+Stunod Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 %dif1 & %ter1 convert the scales so 1=1, 1.5=2, 2=3, 2.5=4... Quote Link to comment
+Seay me Posted February 22, 2005 Author Share Posted February 22, 2005 I got ya stund... I just didn't read the pattern out. I assumed (that bad work, assumed) that it just rounded the half difficulties up... Thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment
+Team DEMP Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 See http://www.gsak.net/help/hs10300.htm for a list of the tags and what will likely be displayed. Specific to your situation: %dif = Difficulty in full %dif1 = Difficulty reduced to 1 digit (dif * 2 -1), so 1=1, 1.5=2, 2=3, 2.5=4, ... %dif1a - Difficulty reduced to 1 character, so 1=1, 1.5 = A, 2=2, 2.5=B, 3=3, 3.5=C, 4=4, 4.5=D, 5=5 %ter = Terrain in full %ter1 = Terrain reduced to 1 digit (dif * 2 -1), so 1=1, 1.5=2, 2=3, 2.5=4, ... %ter1a - Terrain reduced to 1 character, so 1=1, 1.5 = A, 2=2, 2.5=B, 3=3, 3.5=C, 4=4, 4.5=D, 5=5 Quote Link to comment
+Sputnik 57 Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 (edited) So you have to add 1 and then divide by 2 to change the GSAK output number to the GC.com scale. %dif1 = (%dif x 2) - 1 MOPH 57 looks like a 3/4, not a 4/5 Edited February 23, 2005 by Sputnik 57 Quote Link to comment
