It sounds like your security software is seeing the update of GSAK as a new program and not allowing GSAK to perform certain functions. This can happen with some security software even if you've previously added GSAK.exe to the "white list" of trusted programs in your security software.

Open your security software and try adding GSAK.exe to the trusted programs list. If that works, you may have to do this each time you update GSAK (this is an issue with your security software, not GSAK). If adding GSAK.exe to your security program's trusted programs list does not fix things, please restart your computer in Safe Mode (with networking) and test running the exports in Safe Mode (with networking). If it works in Safe Mode (with networking) we know some other software is getting in the way and can continue to troubleshoot down that road. If not, we can look at other possible causes.

PS The current version is 8.7.1.55 - if you have 8.7.0 you'll need to update (Tools>Check for Newer Version of GSAK) once you get things working.

Nuvi_GPX_v2.Gsk v2.33 - Maintenance and Special Requests

Requires Nuvi_GPX_Icons.Gsk v2.1 or later.
  • Fixed a problem reported here regarding too many messages displaying during both startup and normal processing. To accomplish this I have included a new option (on the General Options form) 'Set Speedmode On'. This option both restricts messages and removes some processing holdups. The downside is that you won't see the current cache type that is being processed displayed on the grid.
  • Fixed a problem reported here affecting Autoruns only.
  • Removed a variable from the main form left in from testing.
  • Changes to the Corrected Coordinates export (see below).
  • Several cosmetic changes.

Corrected Coordinates Export
Previously the Corrected Coordinates export only exported caches with a single icon on the Nuvi. In further consideration of the recent request for an option to not run this export I liked the idea of exporting these caches with a regular icon, but at the same time, I missed the Corrected Coordinate indicator.
This release retains that option and includes code for when the Corrected Coordinates Export is checked to run, to export SOME caches - at present only Traditionals, Multi's and Mystery caches, with a standard icon to indicate the cache type with a Corrected Coordinate indicator.
Other cache types will be added to the Nuvi_GPX_Icons.Gsk file when I get the time, and when added they should be automatically selected for use. Until then the old CC icon will be used.

For queries or problem reports with this macro please see this Forum thread

I am using
GSAK 8.7.1.55
Nuvi_2 2.33
PoiLoader 273
DriveSmart 60

1. I have noticed with the latest Nuvi_2 build that the USE CURRENT FILTER check box behind the PROCESS START UP FILTER is gone. Does checking the START UP FILTER box use the CURRENT FILTER?

2. While running the PoiLoader (manual) I get a message:

The File C:\users\j...\AppData\Roaming\GSAK\PoiLoader/Midwest 2018 Ken/OtherTourguide.GPX is invalid. Do you want to Continue Yes or No

I pressed Continue and the file loaded 123 caches less than in the filter. However, there were 3 caches in the OtherTourGuide on the DriveSmart60.

3. If I use ALLRAID with normal cache types, what does that output? Are the flagged caches only in the Allraid list or are they listed in the individual types also?

Thanks, Joe

Thanks. It works fine now!

The only point i see is when the cache has the wrong Country, even if the coordinates are inside the County polygon it will not return the County (but I can understand why...), the issue is the Country polygons has much less detail than the County polygons, so is easy to have the wrong Country info and then null result for the Country...

For geocaches, the Country is provided by Geocaching.com, and the State (Groundspeak's version of it) is usually provided as well. It's possible to have the same County name in two states or countries (e.g. there is a Madison County in NC, NY, OH and TN and a Washington County in AK, OR, MN, NY in the US). So it may be just be that the wrong country was supplied by the cache owner or Geocaching.com (I have a couple of caches in my database that are listed in the US but are actually in Canada, and vice versa, when you view them on a map). smile.gif

Yes, you are correct, this is a possible source for this problem. But is also true when you use the GetCountry and it will return the wrong Country tongue.gif

Let me chime in with issues with POI Loader. I've used this macro in concert with POI Loader for literally years. Today, even after updating the macro, I've gotten the following message during POI Loader's run:

"There was an unexpected error during the creation of the Custom POI File." The only option available to me at that point was to "Finish," or Exit POI Loader.

No idea which way to jump at this point.

GSAK v.55
POI Loader v2.7.3
Windows 10, which is different from my last run. Previously Windows 7.

So, after updating the macro today to 2.33 and using GSAK 8.7.1.55, the icons for the caches in POI are not showing on the map. I have verified that the POI's exist and I can choose and route to them. However, no icons show.

Did I miss something in one of the updates?

Import von Childwaypoints ? by V60 - 2018-04-08

Für das Chachen benutze ich c:geo oder GDAK. Nun kommt es häufig vor, dass unterwegs neue Childwaypoints erzeugt werden. Oder zu existierende Punkten werden Anmerkungen geschrieben. Bisher übertrage ich diese Punkte später immer von Hand nach GSAK (Falls ich es nicht vergesse)

Gibt es eine Möglichkeit Childwaypoints, die ich in c:geo oder GDAK erzeugt habe, in GSAK zu importieren.

Viele Grüße
Uwe

1. The '$Use_Current_Filter' checkbox was left in the last release inadvertently from testing. It is set automatically when a filter exists at startup and cleared if not, when the option 'Retain the state of the Process Startup Filter only' flag checkbox is set on the General Options form. The checkbox is in fact still there (along with several others) - but only visible in development mode.

With POI Loader - who knows? ph34r.gif . However... at a guess - there may be a problem within your data. Try running the same export with fewer or no logs to see if it makes a difference. If it does you have a problem log(s) otherwise try exporting your caches in separate but smaller runs to see if one of your caches has a data problem.

3. If I use ALLRAID with normal cache types, what does that output? Are the flagged caches only in the Allraid list or are they listed in the individual types also?

Thanks,  Joe

3. This export only exported caches that were flagged, but ran two exports.
I will have to do some testing in relation to 'AllRaid Export of User Flagged Plus Normal Cache Types'. My initial thoughts on this is that as a result of the change in export allowing a cache to only be exported once, only the AllRaid part will run.

No - you haven't missed anything tongue.gif

After the next 'Build GPX Files' run and before you run POI Loader, check the GPX Output folder (press ALT G) for Icon images - you will have to select the database folder to see them. If they are not there, then there is a problem but if they are there it is most likely the speed of the nuvi.

Ok - latest Windows, latest GSAK and latest POI Loader.

All Ok - but I'm no expert with POI Loader. As I have suggested to C3GPS, try splitting your data up a little to see if there is a problem within.

I have found what appears to be an arbitrary limit of about 41k caches with POI Loader, but testing is quite tedious

I have found what appears to be an arbitrary limit of about 41k caches with POI Loader, but testing is quite tedious

So, this morning, just as an experiment, I built .gpx files for each of the four databases I usually use, but this time, crossloaded them after each .gpx build. IOW, each database had its own load into Nuvi. Each one worked like a charm. The next step would be to go back and build all the .gpx files, then transfer them all at once, like I had done before. But, I probably won't do that before next week.

To your point of a 41K limit, I'm well below that. My typical load is about 24K, across four databases. I think there are two or three that show up in two different databases (My Finds and My Hides), but curiously, I haven't had any display issues with any of them. Each of them are caches I had found, then later adopted.

GPS-SEND WAYPOINTS-CHANGE SYMBOLS by Artemis&Apollo - 2018-04-08

I recently bought a GARMIN DRIVE 50LM to replace my broken NUVI 54LM. I must say I don’t like what I’m seeing with the new device.

I load caches to the device using the GPS-SEND WAYPOINTS menu. I add parking coordinates as child-waypoints when I feel it is necessary. I use the NUVI map to see where caches are and to determine my route to them. When I find the cache I delete the waypoint from the NUVI so that my NUVI only contains unfound caches.

The problem I’m have with the DRIVE 50 is that everything I load (cache, parking coordinates, everything) appears as a green heart. I can’t tell a parking coordinate from a geocache. My old device at least had parking coordinates as an airplane and I was able, through trial and error, to use a few of the other symbols (limited as they are). With the new device I’m getting nowhere with my guessing. Everything is a green heart!

Maybe someone has gone through this and can advise me what to do. If not I would appreciate it if someone can go into some detail about how the choice of symbols work. i.e. how the GSAK SEND-WAYPOINT symbol get associated with a symbol on the GPSr itself.

I’m lost as to what to do. All of the newer GARMIN DRIVEs work like this. I would really appreciate any help you can give me.


P.S. I’ve been doing this for over 10 years and have not found a way that works better for me. I’m not interested in a discussion on alternate ways of loading waypoints at this point (I believe I’ve tried them all). I’m just interested in help with Changing Symbols; at least enough to allow caches and parking coordinates to have different symbols.

Too bad you are not interested in alternative ways to achieve what you want.
For years I use the Nuvi_GPX_v2 macro which gives each cachetype its own icon, including separate icons for child waypoints (like a P-icon for parkings) as well.
Works great on my Garmin Nuvi!

When you use GPS>Send Waypoints the caches are treated as "Favorites" by the unit. AFAIK, favorites always have the heart icon (you cannot change it).

If you're not interested in alternatives, then you will have to live with the green hearts. If you are open to other approaches, The CEO's suggestion is the best option to have control over the symbols (that macro sends the caches as Points of Interest, where you can have, and control, different symbols).

I've gotta say, if you've always used the "Send Waypoints" menu item to load Nuvi, you've always had one particular problem: You can't delete all those waypoints at once. They have to be deleted/edited INDIVIDUALLY. Each deletion takes three or four steps. What a pain in the rear. This I know from painful experience.

I highly recommend the Nuvi_GPX_v2 macro. Yes, it has a fairly steep learning curve. But if you can dedicate a day or two to learning the most basic of its tricks, it will serve you well, way into the future. Plus, when you want to update it, you can delete your entire previous load of caches with just one file deletion.

I typically load 24000 caches every week into Nuvi. That represents a 12K database covering four counties around me, where I never know where I'll be on a given day. It also includes 4K or so cemetery caches over all of Texas, plus it includes 6K My Finds DB (what can I say - I like to see where I've been). All these caches are contained in one file in the POI folder, and in a week, when I update everything, I just delete that file, and they're all gone.

Best of luck to you.

I think that you can, in fact, change the icons to something else. You have to select one, either from the list of Favorites/Saved locations, or by touching one on the screen. Then you have to "edit" that waypoint, and one of the things you can edit is the icon that shows up on the screen. There are quite a few options for icons to show up at any given waypoint.

Drawback (you knew this was coming, didn't you?): You can only do this with one icon at a time. You can't edit a class of waypoints. IOW, you can't, with just a few touches, change all your parking waypoints to a different icon. It's still a pain in the tuckus.

Yes, that's a good clarification. I meant that that I don't know of any practical way to change the icon for a large number of waypoints. wink.gif
