Topo9/PN-40/60 users: Topo9 geocache file management in gpx format is supported satisfactorily in both Topo9 and in PN-60 or PN-40 with 2.9 firmware. This situation is clarified on the Delorme dot com Support pages. DO NOT upgrade to PN-40 2.9 firmware if you are still trying to work with Topo8 in combination with the PN-40. Either method will require updating your PN-40 from 2.6 to 2.9 firmware tp support file management in gpx, not proprietary, format. Either switch to GSAK or just use Windows Explorer to copy unzipped PQs in GPX file format to your PN-40 SD card. Topo8/PN-40 users who have never used Topo: It is not worth the trouble to try to learn Topo8 merely for geocaching at this point in time. I downloaded the GSAK App for limited experimentation as well, but never educated myself in many of its features and filters.Ĭache Register I/II use: Those days are gone, unless you happen to be one of the lucky geocachers who has not updated a computer or tried to change a password and thereby disabled automatic connection to Groundpeak PQs after Groundspeak changed the game. I had a premium membership for a year merely to download a few PQs to test the process.
I keep thinking Topo would be really good for something, just not anything I need to do.ĭisclaimers: I am a Delorme Topo fan who lurks on Groundspeak Forums occasionally, but does not actively geocache. I was only using Topo to download PN space images while I had the free map subscription, but even then I copied the maps manually to the GPSr.
And, too often, what it decided to do wasn't at all what I want it to do. I tried using 8 and 9 to manage my PN-40 and PN-60, and everytime I clicked the button, I never really knew what it was going to do. I've never used GSAK for that, but my understanding is that it should work as well for PNs as anything else - and I hear it works pretty well - now that the PNs support copying files (as of 2 years ago). I've always just copied the GPX files manually, although GSAK will probably do a better job for you. I feel for you, I really do, but I have to laugh at the download button going to a page describing a workaround. The download link goes to a page with the info in the OP and goes on with instructions how to load up PQs with Topo.
