[Az-Geocaching] GGSAK to Pocket PC Export

Tue Aug 28 13:46:25 MST 2007

Debbie,

In GSAK, creat a GPX file from the File Export Menu. Then connect your PDA to the PC. From Active sync, open the folders ICon at and browse to the location you save the .gpx file. Copy the file from the PC to the location you want to store it in the pocket device. i save the file to the storage card.

You should then be able to load it in Cachemate.

Hope that helps.
