old thread, but I'll ask here unless you'd prefer this question go into a more general thread?
Once I've solved my puzzles at home and created a corrected-coordinates for that cache - the answers are now sitting in gsak. On my PC. Typically I export a gpx to my Garmin and all is good in my world. Just occasionally though I'm out and about without my garmin handy (![ohmy.gif]()
) and I resort to using my android phone. No special preparation, just an opportunity that arises in the day as occasionally happens to me.
Today for example found myself in that situation and I resorted to remote logging in into my home PC, on the phone's screen![wacko.gif]()
, running up gsak and writing down the coordinates of a puzzle I knew I'd solved ages ago. And then just navigating to it as a set of co-ordiantes. Bit of a rigmarole.
c:Geo etc would use gc.com's corrected coordinates fine IF I'd put them on the website first - of course I haven't been doing that for the puzzles I've solved, they are all in gsak.
Options ... always correct gc.com (either manually, yuck, or perhaps a macro if such an api existed).
...update the gc.com cachenote with corrected coordinates via a macro (I think that can be done, not sure exactly how yet though)
... backup my gsak to a cloud and spend twenty minutes downloading the 150Mb database to gdak
... remote logon to my home PC on demand and do it that way (hey, it worked today).
.... other ideas?
