Thought this would be a good way to introduce someone to the benefits of GSAk and all it has to offer.

Just smile it won't crack your face
The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is
suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best
friends -- if they're okay, then it's you.
Never heard of it but it looks neat. Now I'll have to take some time with it. Thanks for posting this.
Never heard of GASK? Sheesh! How can you go caching without it! It's really a great tool. Worth the price. Get it.Originally Posted by FuddsGirls
that's a really good quick start... but I'm still having trouble exporting files to MS Streets & Trips and to Nat. Geo. TOPO!.... GSAK won't create a file that is recognized by those programs, it comes close, but the extensions are like a letter off *.TRP or somethin goofy like that when it needs be somethin like *.TOP
Once the game is over, the king and the pawn go back in the same box.
I'm not familiar with either program, but it sounds like you're looking for a different file than the waypoint files exported by GSAK. It exports a .TXT file for MS S&T, and a .TPG file for Nat Geo Topo. GSAK will place the file at your preferred location (desktop or documents), and then you import to your program.Originally Posted by Hiram357
Not sure what the problem is...
I must be using an older version of NG Topo, because I have never had any problems exporting from GSAK. I use it all the time to see where caches are located. My version of Topo uses .tpo to save tracks and .tpg to save waypoints.Originally Posted by Hiram357
I thought I only needed a GPS and coordinates. Hey, there's lots to learn and events to learn them at!Originally Posted by WhereRWe?
Once you have used GSAK you will never use anythign else.Originally Posted by FuddsGirls

We're talking about the GSAK cache management software, which alows us to export sets of waypoints to our GPSr, a PDA (if you're a "paperless" cacher) where most of us use Cachemate instead of paper, or to your laptop computers.Originally Posted by FuddsGirls
Then there are the mapping programs - Delorme's Street Atlas and Topo USA are popular, but Hiram is using Microsoft's Streets & Trips and National Geographic's Topo mapping software.
I use Garmin's City Select mapping software on my GPSr - great for routing you right to a cache!
Now are you THOROUGHLY overwhelmed? LOL!
