Or just copy them from the right hand side of the map (have the output set as CSV) and paste them directly into the "Arc/Polygon points" box in GSAK

Can anyone tell me why GSAK says my last GPX file was 13/7/2009 ("Details are from the offline database last updated on 13/07/2009") but I know I've done heaps of PQs since then. And the data in GSAK has all the recent logs from Jan and feb 2010. What's gone wrong??

My guess is that the particular cache you are looking at hasn't been included in any of your recent PQ's.

There are many reasons that this could occur, the prime one being that the cache has been archived. (Archived caches are not included in PQ's).

What's the date in the "Last GPX" column of your GSAK grid?

Does this particular cache have logs in the database dated after 13/07/09?

Yep, there are HEAPS of caches that say the last GPX date was 13/7/2009 and I've checked online and the caches are all active. Plus the GSAK records for these particular caches have all the current logs (as per online at GC) including the 2010 logs from a week or so ago - when I actually DID do my last gpx. weird! I don;t understand how the last gpx could be 2009 but the most recent records are for 2010.

Hmmm, better ask the experts then.
You should ask your question on the GSAK Forum

All I can think is you may have accidentally imported an old download that was on the computer. Check the last GPX column, as long as that looks up to date it should be all OK.

Just a very quick question,

Is there a way with GSAK to combine your user created child waypoints and have them on your GPS device i.e Dakota 20 show up on the cache listing as part of the listing and not as a SEPERATE WAYPOINT.

Because on my Dakota 20 i cant see the waypoint is have created unless i go into Waypoint manager

Re: new 7.7.1.34 version (to be downloaded).

Have anyone had a problem as per below?

"The publisher could not be vertified.
Are you sure you want to run this sofware
Name: GSAK771B34.exe
Publisher: unknown Publisher"


After clicked above and below box appeared

"The Setup files are corrupted.
Please obtain a new copy of the program
Internet Explorer - security warning"


Above was appeared first time after had successfully downloaded for several years.

How do I solve this? Thought I would ask first before I send to GSAK Forum

Thanks in advance

Yes I got this but it's ok, it won't harm your computer.

no didn't get this but i use firefox so it could be a program that IE doesn't recognise.

I downloaded the newest version a few days ago, no problems with it using Firefox, see my notes above.

Thanks.

In the end, I sent the same message into GSAK forum. Clyde (GSAK) solved it by provided the another alternate link to fix it. It worked ok. It has also helped clearing out before the latest (7.7.2B10) version can be downloaded. All is well. =D> \:D/
