Open the .gpx file in GPS babel
http://gpsbabel.sourceforge.net/
Change the output format to TopoMapPro Places File
Have it end with .csv
Process
Open Street Atlas USA 2004 Plus
Go to Xdata
If you already have the file installed and are updating it, delete the file
first.
Then Import
Select Data Source
Select the file you just created
Make sure it is on tab delimited and then select next
In the first column change none to no import
Click the dot in the hole in the 3rd column.
Go to the last column and select URL
Then select next
Select symbol and color
Select next
Then finish
This will give you an icon for each cach with a hyperlink to teh Internet.
This can really clutter the screen and make the computer just to teh Internet
when you try to zoon in. So I import the file a second time like this
Go to Xdata
If you already have the file installed and are updating it, delete the file
first.
Then Import
Select Data Source
Select the file you just created
Make sure it is on tab delimited and then select next
In the first column change none to no import
Then select next
Select symbol and color
Select next
Add -Flag to the name to know this one is the one without the text and
hyperlink
Then finish
This gives you a flag for each cache without the text and hyperlink. Keep
this one on all the time and when you get zoomed in you can also turn on the
one with the hyperlink.
If you need help figuring it out, give me a call (618)259-3642
Once you get it figured out, it is real easy to do. The hard part was
figuring out how best to import it (I spent lots of hours on this!)
