Importing old pocket queries

Post by nomad_penguin » 30 August 10 10:39 am

Okay, I am not done with you clever GSAK users yet. I should be able to work this out, but ...

I had a close call with accidentally deleting my GSAK database (see this topic), and now I'd like to import some old pocket queries to fill in any gaps that might be in my database.

How do I import older logs for waypoints that are already in my database (and have newer logs)? None of the database update options in the Load window seem to do it.

Thoughts? Thanks!

Just drag and drop the PQs in to GSAK and it'll add all the old logs

When I did this using the Database Update Option 'Always', some caches have logs only from November 2009, even though there are more recent logs online. It remains unchecked whether there were updated logs in the PQ I imported. Perhaps I should check that first ...

CraigRat, I reckon you are correct. I think the column 'Last GPX' has confused me---it appears to mean the date of the last GPX file imported (which makes sense, because that's what the column is labelled :oops:).

Thanks.
