Pish Pash!
That will not be cold weather.
Me and my 9 yr old were out in the cold saturday afternoon hiding a couple new caches and we we’re very close to the lake. You walk around, you get warm. We even came upon a older lady (I’m guessing 60+) going for a walk, which surprised us … she couldn’t find the regular trail (not sure why SHE was bushwhacking), so we walked her back to the main trail.P.S. – We stopped first and picked up some cross country skis, and just had to hide some new caches while in the area. Anybody ever looking for an excellent deal, email me, as we’ve found a totally great and responable “word of mouth only” place.
Cool!
Maybe the secret is to paint our ammo cans the brightest white known to man.quote:

Stop rushing me! I’m looking for new spots, that are close by.
Happy Birthday from my “team”!

Unlike Auntie Nae, I have met them … over lunch, not lerking in the woods. I hope the rest of you get to meet them too … when they come to some future event (which they better do, or I will not eat at Cousins any more!).Merry Christmas to All!
Keep warm too … if at all possible.On the 3rd day of Christmas …

If I came and went in with naked feet …. do I count each sharp rock I step on as a find?

ok. now i think i figured it out doing some trial and error….at first i was just clicking save as and I get the .gdb (Garmin Data Base). but If I click on export then I can save it as a .mps file and then transfer it to babel… alot of bouncing around, but it worked.
I solved this mystery of GDB vs. MPS files … I’m still running on version 5.4 of Mapsource, which uses the MPS file format, which is supported by babel. In Garmin’s upgrade 6.1 (which I’ve not installed) they switch to a GDB file format, which unfortunatly babel doesn’t support. However this newer version of Mapsource does allow you to export to the old MPS format, so that babel can handle it. For me, I’m going to wait for them to add a LOC file export, then I’ll upgrade.

I just looked at my Wisconsin Atlas & Gazetteer…Cnty A and Hwy 28 are the same road at the point you’re looking for. At the intersection w/ School Dr the co-ords are:
N 43 35.658
W 088 03.023
Hope that helps
GROUSETALES … I don’t see them as being the same in my software, but Linus’ observation is logical, since otherwise Hwy A would just come to an end otherwise. Make the change indicated above to the Sheboygan file I sent you, under the waypoint name of Batavia. Thanks for the correct Linus; see it was a bad day yesterday, not the s-word.

Energysaver.Here is what I did. I started adding my waypoints in the mapsource. and when im done I click on save as and put the county name. Now it saves as a .gbd file. I looked for the .file as you listed and it doesnt show. Do I need to change anything in setting or something??
Waiting for help…

Wow! I’m out of my league.
I never heard of a GBD file.
My Mapsource software makes MPS files.
Can you save as a MPS file type? That’s what you need.Anybody else?

Teach this young jedi on the arts of babeling…I tried as instructed and when i click process i get in the box “MAPSOURCE:This doesnt look like a mapsource file” and doesnt convert. I am using the files from mapsource.
any help old mentor….
Strange … I’m assuming your source (Input) file that Mapsource generated ends in .mps right? I’ve tried other options for you, like exporting from Mapsource, but the only choice creates a file that Xcel loves but Babel turns into Null (blank) coordinates.
If you wish … send me the .mps file (indicating what county it is) and I’ll see if I can process it from my end … but I can’t see why it would work for me and not you. I’m at infox -at- nconnect -dot- net
