SatSync Version 1.201 further update released 20th May

Gibbo10

If you are into geocaching with your satmap you should head back over to http://www.satmap.com/software.php where you can download v1.201 of satsync released today.

It includes a few tweaks to the information that is imported into Satmap from Pocket Queries.

Namely,

1)Short Descriptions added which were missing in 1.200
2) GCxx number is now added
3) The name of the cache and the owner is now included in the description not just the title
4) The date last found added at the top of the page
5) The log type e.g. Found it - added after the log date

In addition you should now be able to import pocket queries over 1mb.

My first observations about import of large PQs is that ,yes they do ...but.
As a test I imported a pq with about 1600 caches (having compiled into gpx file using Gibbos latest GSAK macro). Although one single gpx file Satsync splits them into a number of seperate .map files ,each less than 1mb ,with the same name and a numbered suffix.
At least that is what shows up in the Satsync box on the PC , but only the last one shows up in the POI menu on the Active 10 and only those are visible on the Map page.
Any offers? or anyonelse found the same . Like the new style of the description

Hi OFOB, once it has been through my macro it is no longer in the same file format of a PQ. When I was told about the splitting of 1mb files by Satmap they said it would only apply to PQs for gc.com directly. Has any tried importing a gc.com PQ as it came from them in the zip file.

It seems to be not possible to load the PQ .zip file directly, but if they are unzipped the two resultant .gpx files can then by loaded. One contains the cache details and the other seems to have the additional waypoints, ie parking etc, not totally conveinent,
I shall continue to use GSAK to edit the caches I want and then use the macro.

Yes , I've imported the unzipped PQ files as Daveweth , I ended up with 2 cache files designated part1 and part 2 respectively and an additional waypoints file . And they all show on both the Satsync box and the Active 10.
So that works OK.
But it still seems strange to me that when using your Macro to generate the file , the Satsync shows them as being downloaded (as split files) but they dont show up on the POI menu on the unit It also counts the total number of waypoints on the counter on the download progress bar Confused
