One of the most useful tools available to GSAK users is the ability to create a cache list to GPX Route file. This is extremely handy when attempting a series of caches where the most efficient route between each is not easy to determine. The resulting GPX file can be loaded to most navigation or handheld GPS receivers and the device will guide you from cache to cache.
Here’s what you need:
- GSAK installed on your PC
- Route2GPX GSAK macro installed (Download it here)
- GPX file compatible GPS unit
Here’s what you do:
- Load the caches into GSAK
- Run the Route2GPX macro
- Type in the File Name
- Select the folder where you want to save the file by clicking on the yellow folder icon
- Click OK on the Route Saved window
- Locate the file you just saved and load it into your GPSr by one of the following methods:
- Drag and Drop from the source folder to the GPX folder on the GPSr
- Use a program such as BaseCamp to transfer the file to the GPX folder on the GPSr
- Select the route on the GPSr and follow it to all the caches
