    Is there a way in GSAK to show a pocket query of caches on Google Maps that INCLUDES the names of the caches? I can do it with other programs but I’m thinking there must be a way to do it on Google Maps and I just haven’t figured it out.

    Easy GPS will show the cache names and icons but not the streets.
    GSAK will show the cache icons on the map but not the names of the caches when running the Google Maps macro (as far as I have been able to discern).
    MyGeocachingManager will show the cache icon, names, and Google Maps all together, which is exactly what I want. I’m just hoping to do it in GSAK instead since GSAK does so much more.

    Here’s what it looks like in MyGeocachingManager:

    Hold down the shift key when starting the Google Map macro to get an options dialog box. The lower area is for Text Labels. Be sure the “Show Text Labels” box is checked, then pick what you want displayed (name, code, etc) and the size of the label text. Labels will show up next to the cache icons.
