Maybe we should wait to hear from a few others before we decide on a certain night. I think whenever I’m on, I’ll try to always have a window open with the chat thing going…see what happens..

Actually, I would say that if this is something that the govt. felt it had to to in order to enhance the war effort, I’m all for it… On a TEMPORARY basis only that is…

Call me nuts, but lets get this thing over with..

Thanks a bunch. Looks like I’ve worked out a couple of bugs.

Maybe someday I’ll just give up on the Netscape thing and go along with IE…Time will tell!

Thanks again for all your help

First, when prompted to ‘save’ the asp file, don’ save it, but rather click on ‘open’ and click okay. you will then be prompted again to ‘save’ or ‘open’, but this time you will see that its a .loc file, so go ahead and save it.

Third, you do not need to load the .loc into EasyGPS and convert it to a .gpx. Gpsbable reads .loc files directly. Just open the .loc file you downloaded with gpsbable and convert it to a csv for S&T.

Hope that helps!

Is this another example of the differences between Netscape and IE? I’m a Netscape user and probably always will be… In Netscape, I’m not given the opportunity to Save/Open. Just save. AND it has this “.asp” extension on it… I have to “manually” drop it off of the xxxxx.loc.asp filename before saving it..
If I’m not mistaken, I could have saved the file the first time around instead of the extra open step first…

I’m learning all the time!!!

I got the rest of it now!
Thanks!!

But, what do you use EasyGPS for then?

I’ve been reading and re-reading what you have been talking about and I’m getting the feeling that I’m missing something… Maybe a little nudge in the right direction is in order…

First off, when downloading a “loc” file from geocaching.com I can’t make Easy GPS open up to “view” the data. My browser prompts me to save the file. The file would be something like “xxxx.loc.asp” So, what I do is go ahead and save the file but, I drop the “.asp” part.. This much I can deal with ok. Still, it’s kind of a hassle to have to download each page for a 25mi. search and then have to merge them..

Second, I take the “loc” file in EasyGPS and have to convert it to a “.gpx” file

The “.gpx” file then goes off to gpsbable and gets converted to a “.csv” file…

Import that into Streets and trips…Save the result as an “.est” file…

This is what (I think) it takes for me to do it…..
Have I added a couple of steps?

Thanks for any help!!
