I use the same macro as Todd with a Nuvi 300. I did try the macro that you use this afternoon, but it was the latest version. It generated the gpx files but I did not try to load them to the GPS. I don’t think I’ve installed the Garmin POI loader since I got my new computer.

Give us a little more information. What macro, what version and which Nuvi model are you using? Does the macro use a filter that may be excluding traditional macros? Is the macro being called by another macro that may be setting a filter?

Finally found it!!! Just like this one on Amazon. you will still need a serial adapter.

Let me know if you are still interested and we can work out the details. you can contact me through my gc.com profile gkrone.[/url]

I think I have an extra one. You will still need a USB to 9 pin adapter. I picked one up off the internet a few years ago for just a few dollars.

Poke me in a couple days if you do not hear from me.

I don’t have the attributes or the notes loaded. I’ve never really thought they were needed.

I do have the include user notes checked, but I don’t really know where this data comes from. I have a final location to a puzzle on my GPS which was loaded as a child location and the logs include the comment from the child waypoint comment.

I don’t have the GC Attributes checked so they wouldn’t show up for me.

I’ve tried to use the proximity alert but I never got it to work.

I have 67 macros in my run of which 14 I have never run, butI have 4 macro buttons configured that I use weekly:

1. PqLoader – Load Pocket Queries.
2. myCachEye – Map.
3. GarminExport – Load the GPS.
4. BadgeGen – this calls FindStatsGen44Beta which calls several plugins.

I also have a startup macro defined when I open any of my databases and several other utility macros that I use every once in a while.

Seems like updates or ‘build versions’ come out almost weekly/daily. We try to stay on top of them, but can’t speak to the wisdom of that…perhaps more likely to put you in a beta-tester mode. Probably better to wait for a more official update, but don’t really know how often that is. Our last update was triggered by finding a macro that seemed to require the move, so we made it.

Here’s the thread with the updates……go to the very end of the thread. http://gsak.net/board/index.php?showtopic=23309&st=80

Good luck! 🙂 🙂

I’ve had very few problems with the update cycle. It does sort of make you a beta-tester, but if something does get nicked in the update they usually have it corrected quickly.

I don’r remember having trouble with the switch, but I have had a few as yet unexplained problems. I’m not sure if it is a problem with GSAK or with the office network. I turn on the setting that will check for a new version every time I start up GSAK. Just the other day I realized I hadn’t had an update message in quite a while. When I checked the site I found that I was over 100 revisions behind. Now I am going to keep my eye on the web site to see if there is a bug in that feature.

The only way to do that consistantly is to download a MyFinds PQ every once in a while. That should make the data the same on both systems. The next thing to do is to sort on the Found by me column.

Hope that helps.

We haven’t found an archived cache, but we did find a cache on a log next to a trail that was .1 miles from where it was supposed to be hidden. We were headed in that direction so we took it back and rehid it after signing the log.

That is an interesting item.

I’ve tried all three. The other two sites are so seldom used that I was able to get most of my FTF’s (6) off of them. In fact my first FTF was a virtual Terracache, A Contemplative Stroll, 4138 miles from home that had been listed for 3 months without a find.

People also went to these sites when GC.com started changing rules and dropping cache types. Virtual caches was the big one.

What macro are you using?

I’m running GSAK 8.1.1.124 and loading my NUVI 500 using the GarminExport macro.

The techies ‘down under’ told me this one isn’t intended for use with a NUVI after I tried it…I almost thought I had it working, to a point. They gave me a couple of other macros to try…so far no luck. It’s a slow process dealing with them…Australian time zone difference.

To Averith and Todd300…I’m surprised you have to manually run the POILoader…I’ve never had to with GSAK 7.

Seems strange that it works for one version of the NUVI, but not for another. Could be that your NUVI has a different software revision that the macro doesn’t recognize.

What NUVI version do you have?

Welcome. I’m from Pleasant Prairie and have been doing this for close to 7 years now.

There are a couple local geocaching groups that get together for coffee every week. I haven’t heard much out of the Kenosha group in quite a while. They usually meet on Thursday mornings at The Daily Dose, 6010 40th Avenue.

There is also a very active group that meets on Saturday mornings at Wilson’s Coffee & Tea, 3306 Washington Ave. If you are on Facebook, and who isn’t anymore, look up the BCCC (Belle City Coffee Clutch) and ask to be added to the group.
