Download waypoints to your GPS
How do you download waypoints into your GPS'r?
Are you a Premium member of Geocaching.com and receive weekly or daily pocket queries?
Do you use GSAK or any of the other software waypoint management tools?
I have for a long time been a premium member and received daily pocket queries for Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. I now have a total of 19 PQ's that run each week to cover all of my unfound caches for the 3 states. I have preferred to use GSAK Geocahing Swiss Army Knife to manage the waypoints. The ease of getting the downloads and use of filters to load only 1000 waypoints, the capacity of my MAP60CSx, into my GPS'r has worked just fine for me.
Being that there are others out there who do it differently. Please use this thread to enlighten us on your tips and, to the others please ask questions.
There have been other recent threads on this topic, but I did not want to relate this to any one brand of GPS. So lets hear from the Magellan, DeLorme, Nuvi, Tom Tom, Garmin and anyone else who wants to post.
Remember, I'm not a Premium Memeber...
So like I posted earlier, I have 900+ caches loaded right now and have a couple questions. I am headed to the SMR on Friday and am wondering if GSAK will actually help? I can't run PQ's because I'm not premium so I just tried loading what I had in the GPS into GSAK. Doesn't really help as none of the fields are populated the right way. Is this tool basically useless if you aren't premium?
I also keep everything thats loaded into the GPS saved and current in MapSource. I only plan on making this trip once and due to the cell coverage, wont be able to do this paperlessly the way I normally do if I need a hint. Next question, Is there a faster way other than editing the Note field for every cache in MapSource to add the hint (just in case)?
PQ's, downloads, premium membership.....
