Excellent, pretty much the same as my workflow, except I've automated mine a bit.

For gca caches, simply download the GPX file from the link listed in the related thread in this forum and import into GSAK (you'll need an up to date version).

If that doesn't work for you, let us know how you get gc.com listings into your PDA.

Thanks - I have plenty of time before our next trip "south" as we have only just returned from 5 weeks down there :)


I am learning by playing with my (my husbands) Palm M515 - and I arent really up with the tech talk. I get my info through GC - premium member queries. Then I save, open in GSAK - generate HMTL - grab with ISILO X and pass to the Palm which then shows the pages as I would view on the home PC!!! Pretty cleaver, especially for me :lol: :lol: :lol: a lot of playing got me there and at last it seems to work. It was absolutely fantastic on our last trip - I could even read the last 5 logs. AND no reams of paper to scour through. :)
You can do much the same with the gca caches. GSAK will read the gpx file from gca and the rest as as you do it now..

Sorry this seems to be a bit late but what with work and storms since the find, I didn't realise the significance of the SECOND (I'm not going to argue) find of a gca cache. Thanks to all those who congratulated me and I'll just keep on looking.

BTW I'm trying to plan a real Bu..er of a cache on the Central Coast (a BIG cache along the lines of A_Z of Canberrra). Stay tuned.
