Dan & Dave
Thanks for the help.
One question I do have are you running a querey first on the geocache site if
so what kind of querie do you run on geocache? One for the whole state or what?
We are finding it impossible not to go anywhere without looking for a cache on
our way there and back. LOL
We are thinking about going to Arkansas and this will help us on our trip also.
I will try your suggestions out later and see what happens.
Thanks Again,
Jen

I don’t know if this is the easiest to do, but this is how I can do it.
1.) using gsak, export your waypoints as a csv file. To do this in gsak
go to…File, Export, Microsoft Streets and Trips CSV file.
2.) Save it to My Documents, or somewhere where you will remember it at.
3.) In Microsoft Streets and Trips (2005 is what I am using) select Data,
Import Data Wizard, and choose the csv file you just created
4.) The wizard will then ask you whether or not you want to use tab, semi
colon, or comma (I choose tab) and then choose matching records to latitude and
longitude, then click finish
5.) You will then see a whole lot of pushpins pop up on the map
6.) Go ahead and create a route… i.e. Sullivan to Pevely with the route,
route planner tool
7.) Calculate get directions and then do a find nearby places, by
selecting Tools, nearby places, select along entire route and choose how many
miles your diameter is, and click search.
8.) Tahdah… Now you have a selection of caches along your route from
Sullivan to Pevely.
a.. P.S. there probably is a easier way to do this, but I just sat down and
did this this way, so I know it works.
b.. If you have any other questions give us a yell.
Respectfully,

We are planning a trip to Pevely the weekend.
Wanting to know how you use Streets and Trips to help you figure out caches
that are along your route?
I have seen this done, but don't know how to do it.
Thanks
Jen
