zemiak 1 Report post Posted June 18, 2021 Hello, before trying to implement a new GPX/XML format variant, that is suitable for Cachly, I would like to ask, if there is sth like that already in place. gpsbabel uses LOC for geocaching format, and it can be imported by L4C, but not by Cachly. I am talking specifically about gpsbabel, not GSAK. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nic Hubbard 631 Report post Posted June 18, 2021 LOC files do not import into Cachly. What was your other question? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zemiak 1 Report post Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) There is no other question. Then I have to dive in into C/C++ after long time. Thanks for the answer Edited June 18, 2021 by zemiak typo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the answer Cachly does use custom XML tags such as the ones that GSAK uses. Would that be helpful? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zemiak 1 Report post Posted June 18, 2021 Frankly, I have no idea. I have no access to GSAK, I’ve been just told, that I can prepare my Cachly lists there. But I’m on a Mac and have no access to GSAK. Anyway, I will try to generate something close to geocaching.com’s Pocket Query GPX and see whether that works or not.

Nic Hubbard 631 Report post Posted June 18, 2021 I am on a Mac as well. What is your end goal here? Are you wanting to get caches into Cachly from somewhere? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zemiak 1 Report post Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) Ah. Sorry, I did not want to bother you with this request, for sure. This is something, that 99.9% of the Cachly users do not care about. There is a Czech page, https://labgpx.cz, that is able to generate GPX files out of the Adventure lab caches - one artificial cache for a LAB stage. I live in a big city (this is relative :-D when compared to other countries), I like to go out and hunt for multiple LAB series, so I would like to have a single list for 2-3-4-whatever LAB cache stages. My friend used to use GSAK for importing the GPX and generating nice GPX files for Cachly out of it, but I have discovered gpslabel lately and wanted to try it out. As I said, nothing important and worthy of a true feature request, therefore I asked here in the forums. I can see now, I should have put it in General Questions, not here :-/ Edited June 18, 2021 by zemiak Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nic Hubbard 631 Report post Posted June 18, 2021 There is also this site: https://gcutils.de/lab2gpx/ Those GPX files can be imported directly into Cachly and you will then see all the stages and starting points. No need for GSAK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
