| First Question: GSAK can't tell from a PQ which coords I've changed on the cache page (using the pencil icon), correct? Right now when I solve a puzzle I change the coords on the cache page but once that cache is in GSAK I still "correct" the coords even though they are already correct. I do this because I want to see the corrected coord symbol so I know which puzzles are solved in the database. I'm guessing GSAK can't tell from the PQ which are solved because I would assume there's no notation in the PQ. |
Correct. However, the geocaching.com corrected coordinates are available via the API (please see this post and the one immediately below it).

| Second question: Is there a better way to mark solved puzzles than going through in GSAK and one by one marking corrected coords (even though they are already correct) so I can see the symbol? It's not that I solve tons of puzzles, I'm just wondering. |
There are two macros that might meet your needs. SetCorFlagCurrent (here) will set the Corrected Coordinates indicator on the current cache. If you assign it to a tool bar button (click here for instructions) you can set the corrected indicator with a single click. SetCorrectedFlag (here) will set the Corrected Coordinates indicator for ALL caches in the current database.

| Third question: Is it still true as mentioned earlier in the thread that icons cannot be changed to be loaded into a Magellan? |
AFAIK (I don't use a Magellan GPS), yes.
| QUOTE |
| Fourth question: If the Magellan icons cannot be changed what is the best method for somehow making a notation so that in the gps I can see which ones have corrected coords? I've read through the ideas in this thread and weren't sure if given the age of the thread those were still the most efficient. I also haven't used smart names, so wasn't sure how to implement some of the suggestions yet. I don't really want to only load caches with corrected coords in case there are caches with field puzzles. |
You could use %mtag (click here) and "Extra information to show as first log" on the Magellan Send to GPS dialog to add a corrected coordinates indicator to the first log on your GPSr. The macro %mtag would refer to would be something like this:
| GSK |
IF $d_HasCorrected $_Special="*Corrected Coordinates*" ELSE $_Specia="" ENDIF |
