- I think to work the best you need to get the GPX files from the custom queries at GC.com If you use easyGPS to convert the *loc files to gpx files you will be missing a lot of the data that is sent in the gpx format. Maybe BottomFeeder can comment since he actually has and iPaq and i have only looked at his from a distance 'cause he wont let me hold it or anything. :-) maybe if you are using *loc files first, you need to use spinner to spin them into a useable gpx file. But then again, i have a hard time getting a pencil to work properly so..... glenn yes, sitting inside looking at caches on my day off. :-( At 10:34 AM 4/29/2003 -0700, Dan Onstott wrote: >- >FYI..
