+Hawkbit Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Ok... probably been asked before (I did try doing the forum searches) but I need some help. What I would like to do is take a gpx file and get the info for the cache, including the full text description and not the logs and be able to print out the info for selected caches... I've downloaded and looked at the gpx results in GSAK and clayjars "watcher", but I don't see how to get it done (I could be dense... so pointing out the obvious will not offend me). Markwelling responses are happily accepted. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+YeOleImposter Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 If I am understanding you want to be able to print out the cache page without any logs - just like it is possible to do online from geocaching.com if you choose - 'printer friendly with no logs' I can get GSAK to print it with 1 log - but seems that there is no option for 0 logs. That may be the best solution for now. Just go in to Tools / Options / HTML / Number of Logs. Change it to 1. Maybe you can ask Clyde to add a 0 logs option? Quote Link to comment
+wolf452 Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 How about: Highlight what you want.. Right Click... Print... Selection Quote Link to comment
+Hawkbit Posted May 26, 2004 Author Share Posted May 26, 2004 How about:Highlight what you want.. Right Click... Print... Selection Well... that's fine for individual caches, but when you are trying to put together a binder so you can have the info available when you are out and about is a different matter... and yes I know that putting it out to PDA is just as quick a solution. I'm not a script writer or I would strip the info my self... I was just curious if anyone had already done something like that Quote Link to comment
+Cherokeecacher Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Currently it is not possible to print an entire database worth of descriptions. But you can print just the description part by going to the "Split Screen Format" dropdown, and changing it to "details only" GSAK help file Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Can't you just print the first page? That should chop off logs. It's what I do off the site. I actually like the lay out of the regulare page more than the "printer friendly" page. Quote Link to comment
robertlipe Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 The 'text' and 'html' output formats of GPSBabel do not output logs and have a very dense format that works well for printing. If you are on an OS that doesn't natively have tools for multi-column output, you might consider sucking the result into a word processor and settting multi-column before printing. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------GCJB4Q N36 15.793 W86 42.273 (16S 526539 4013184) 1-800-MY-PUPPY by Bulli the Wonder Dog, Traditional Cache (1/1) This cache is basically a "drive-up and go" as well as wheelchair accessible. This is in tribute to all the effort that went into the Dalmation series. I, Bu lli the Wonder Dog, love this series and wanted to help out where I could. I was looking for a place to contact all those Dalmatians that have been on the loose and I found it. You are looking for something small and black-it will be obvio us when you drive by. There is only a log so bring your phone book and a pen. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- GC3479 N34 35.664 W86 59.267 (16S 501120 3828065) Go Fly A Kite by Marco..adopted by La Paloma, Traditional Cache (3/1) This is a micro-cache in a field. This field is visited by Kite Flyers whenever there is a breeze blowing. Do not step on their kite strings and they are easy to get along with. Hint: The film canister is buried with only the top showing. Try walking around bare footed and you will step on it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I just pulled 422 caches this way into staroffice, set it for 8 points and two columns. Print preview says it's 59 pages, so that's about 7 caches per page. Quote Link to comment
+Hawkbit Posted May 27, 2004 Author Share Posted May 27, 2004 GPSbabel looks promising for this purpose... on XPpro... I'll give it a try and see what happens Quote Link to comment
