Is anyone been able to register GSAK 6.X under vi$ta?
I keep geting a:
Code: Select all
Access violation at address 0045D4DD in module 'gsak.exe'. Read of address 000002CC.
If anyone knows a good linux alternative that can run with a usb to serial converter I'd like to know about it also.

I'd be lucky to use 10% of what the 6.x has + GSAK is not supported by my preferred OS so for the
foreseeable future I'll stick with 6.x.

<P>One of the reasons why I bought a Dell not a Mac last upgrade. <P>It seems that Macs are not too highly thought of by Garmin, and anyone else involved with Geocaching...

Ok thanks for the answer !mike.
I had no trouble registering it on my old win98 machine.
I may try the GSAK forums and see if anyone is still interested in the older versions.

I have looked to see what the difference is (between the latest and what I am using) and don't think that there is much point in me upgrading at the moment.
The latest version 6 download does everything that I need.

I have tried to find this myself but with 45 pages it got difficult to keep going.
Is it possible to upload a find file from GSAK into GC? I can do it into GCA and it will update all my finds on that website, but I can't find a way to make it work on GC, is it even possible?
Thanks in advance.

I don't think it's possible (or even necessary since GC doesn't list your GCA finds)
You can however write your logs in GSAK in the log section then click the button to log them on GC

That was what I wanted, can I only do that one at a time? The GCA ref was because I can do a whole upload at once. I was wondering if I have to go to each GC cache and upload separately.

There is a GSAK Macro that allows you to log all of your flagged caches onre at a time. It copies your GSAK log to the clipboard, brings up the cache page allowing you to past directly into the page etc etc.
Have a look in the macros section of the GSAK forum

Thanks for that.
Here's mine:
# Filter list to display user flagged caches
MFILTER IF=$d_UserFlag
# Log the found caches online
IF $_FilterCount > 0
SORT By="FoundByMe;UserSort"
GOTO Position=Top
WHILE NOT ($_EOL)
CLIP Tags="%UserLog"
$url = "
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?ID=%gcid"
WEB Url=$url
PAUSE Msg="Was log successfully entered?"
PURGENOTE Type=LogOnly Range=Current
GOTO Position=Next
ENDWHILE
ELSE
PAUSE Msg="No found caches in filter! Clearing and exiting."
ENDIF
