GSAK: Geocaching Swiss Army Knife

This looks like it has the potential to be a very nice piece of software. It is still in beta (5!) but it works pretty well on my XP box.

There are still a few things it does not quite do; my main thing being downloading individual waypoints to my GPSr (this is really nice in EasyGPS). ClydeE says this is comming, along with other nice improvements. It does generate MapSend waypoint files, but I guess you need 1) a Magellan GPSr, and 2) MapSend software. I'm 50% there (you can probably guess which).

This should be a winner!

Update to previous post about GSAK.

The software is up to Version 2.03, and it is really terrific (and keeps getting better). Now supports waypoint download to GPSr, and it does the "Spinner" bit getting caches ready to send to the PDA.

I really recommend this piece of FREE software; with it and Plucker (also free), cache management is really a piece of cake. (This assumes you use GC Pocket Queries). With a cheap PDA, you are set.

I recently acquired a Palm V (given to me); everything works smoothly and I am now paperless.

This is a great piece of software!!
