New Program - GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife)

FilterAvailableAndSolved

I run the filter FilterAvailableAndSolved on my entire WA database, then load the lot..........do love the Oregon 600

I also had some other refinements, such as if there 3 DNFs in a row I would skip it, but these other methods are good.

I think I have discovered my problem..... I only store the solved co-ords for puzzles back in the GC website, rather than GSAK. Anyone know a way to filter these?

Currently I bookmark the caches, then run a separate PQ, but this method is far from infallible.

Louise, if you have entered new coordinates on the caches in gc.com, you can get the changed coordinates into GSAK and they will show up as corrected coordinates.
You need to identify the caches in GSAK, and do a Full Refresh on them using the
Geocaching.com > Refresh Cache data menu option.

NOTE:- These don't come across in a GPX, only a full refresh

The answer will be somewhere on the GSAK forum

All you need to do is run a PQ to load all the puzzle caches you haven't found in Vic.
There are currently 1086 - your finds in Vic.
After you have them in GSAK, filter them out, and then do a full refresh.

Then you'll have all the ones with corrected coordinates identified in GSAK.

I think a recent update may have interfered with my HTML options in the Tools>Options>HTML tab, which are used to supply the Right Click > Custom URL options.
I now have

Google Map, and Google Satellite are both missing now.
Don't remember seeing a few of the others before GCUK and those underneath.
Perhaps they've been added which clobbered my custom ones.

Anybody else experienced this?

Your best resource for GSAK issues/questions is the GSAK forum, not this thread.

Try restoring your settings from a recent backup.

Thanks Ian, or Penny, or both.
That fixed my immediate problem.

I use a macro called "FilterAvailableAndSolved" that does pretty much the same thing except first I have a filter set for the general area that I load each week.

So, what I do is choose my area filter, run my macro and then load my GPSr. I only throw it out there as it sounds as if it would save you one whole step each time you loaded......

I've copied in this very useful macro too, thanks guys. There are way too many macros to spend time checking them all out!

Ok new query, I've just picked up a tablet transformer running full windows 8. The GSAK has loaded and seems running fine but it won't load pocket queries, I keep getting a time out and problem communicating with groundspeak api. I've tried creating a gpx file from my existing gsak and moving it across but it doesn't like the downloads from GC. Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions?

Or just form an orderly queue to point and laugh

[Cheesy pigs]

I've fixed it. in gc account details your preference needs to show gpx version as 1.0.1

Here's a sensational new GSAK macro to help log Challenge caches.
You set a filter in GSAK to show the caches you have found which satisfy the Challenge.

Then you run this macro, selecting the data fields you want shown for your list of caches.

The macro will place the nicely formatted output onto your clipboard where you can paste it into your log. It even puts in a hyperlink to the cache page for each entry.

It's called CopyFilerToLog.gsk

Has anyone got GSAK on a Surface Pro running Windows 8??? Just want to make sure it works before I upgrade my laptop.

[gmj3191]

I have it running on a Surface Pro 3.
Fantastic machine.
I run it in a dock as a desktop, with keyboard, mouse, two external monitors and a PROBOX drive bay with the four HDDs from old desktop in it.
Then I just pull it out of the dock and becomes a laptop with the magnetic keypad, or a tablet.
It's a fantastic machine, with an i7 processor and a 500 Mb SSD, running Windows 8.1
Pricey but so flexible.
It will run any windows, and runs GSAK with all Aussie caches in it, on its ear.
GSAK works well with the touch screen, or with the stylus in tablet mode.
