Hi All
I have just updated to the lasted GSAK version, now I find I cannot run the macro the show caches in Google Earth.

you can go straight to the gsak web site and download the newest version from there.

If you go into the support forums there is a copy of the new beta version available as well

Hi

Getting a problem with GSAK not communitcating with my Garmin Geko 301 via a USB to Serial Connector. First and foremost this has worked since I got my Geko. Today it decided to not work. I reinstalled the drivers for the link. Set GSAK to COM12 which is the com port shown in the hardware profile and got a can't init. error mesage.

Fire-up Oziexplorer, set it to COM12 and bingo it communicates no problems with the GPSr.

Suggestions?
Andrew

G'day Folks

This question has probably been asked before but i couldn't find it ..... What is the likelyhood of GSAK being available for Pocket PC ? Perhaps even a watered down version if required ?

Thanks

I use GPXSonar. It allows me to have GSAK(like) functionality on my PPC

It appears the latest combination of gc.com changes may be affecting GSAK.

Could someone running GSAK on a computer without a Microsoft Development Environment installed check to see what happens when clicking on the Online Waypoint URL. Best to try without auto loggin on to gc.com

I get an error and the debugger opens on the line
map.setCenter(new GLatLng(lat, lng), 9);
in the javascript loadmap() function. Once I close the debugger GSAK aborts.

It seems effect only the browser window in GSAK.
Opening the cache page in ie doesn't produce the error, just the normal 'not logged in' page with nothing on it for an archived cache a page without coords for an active cache.

I'm running Build 26 of 6.6.1 on a Windows XP SP2 machine. I logged out of GC.Com and tried your issue.
<br>
It worked OK. I got the page minus the usual 'logged in' information (coords etc)

I wonder if someone could please give me a hand setting up a macro to import my PQs.... i'm not too flash at writing macros but have had a go at changing the one posted earlier in this thread but have not had any joy.

I have 5 PQs and generally move the zip file into a desktop folder.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
