Help! Bulk waypoint creation on gc.com

Post by Papa Bear_Left » 25 April 13 2:58 pm

G'Day

I have a new cache where I need to enter quite a few reference point waypoints (as in, more than 100) and I really want to avoid doing this by typing in each one.

I have the coords in text format (and can manipulate them as required) and the name/prefix etc. can be anything.

Any thoughts on a tool to automate this procedure?

Sounds like someone will be busy chasing that one down. Should keep the FTF hounds busy.

Let me guess, A 100 point multi with a mint tin at each point that leads to a final which is a nano... on the back of a dumpster between two buildings (that gets emptied every second tuesday) :twisted:

You let him off the hook for one week...

They're REFERENCE POINTS, not SoaM waypoints! Anyone who visits each of them won't even be a "TF" let alone the "FTF"!

It's looking like I might be doing some repetitive typing, or at least using a macro recorder type program with some hand-made custom entries...
