+MaliBooBoo Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I have been trying to download benchmarks for an upcoming trip to Arizona. For most counties, I had no problems, however for three counties (Graham, Yavapai and Apache) I got the following message after selecting all the datasets and clicking on Get Datasets: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/ds_county.prl on this server. Any thoughts on what is going on here? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment

I could send you GPX files for those counties if I had your e-mail (via a PM). John Quote Link to comment

2oldfarts (the rockhounders) Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I sent you another email. Thanks for your help, John! Received it and sent you the three files. Hope you got them and you were able to use them.... Have fun in Arizona. John and Shirley~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ Quote Link to comment

Hope you got them and you were able to use them.... Have fun in Arizona. John and Shirley~ ~~~~~~~~~~~ Glad 2oldfarts (the rockhounders) got you all fixed up. The benchmark forums have some of the best people. On an aside, if you need an "entire" state of datasheets (and not just individual counties), you can get the state in one swoop. Go here: http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/datasheet.prl then archived datasheets --- monthly archives--- zip file of state you want The directory will show you the last time the state file was updated (I think all states have been updated to 2015), so you'll know how current the information in the zip file is. Don't let the word "archived" fool you. It is just a backup storage of all the active benchmarks at a given time...and not ones that have been put away or something. Once you download the file and unzip it, you'll have the entire state of your choosing....to use the data how you choose. Many people will need to convert the NGS datasheets to a gpx format before being able to import into programs like GSAK or similar, including GPS units. That's where NGS-GPX comes into play. http://ngs.tsqmadness.com/ngsgpx/index.html Edited February 4, 2015 by LSUFan Quote Link to comment
+MaliBooBoo Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 Just wanted to thank LSUFan for sharing that info. I did not know that it was possible to download benchmark datasheets for an entire state at one time. I was just downloading them one county at a time which was quite labour intensive as you can imagine. So thanks for saving me oodles of time!!! And thanks again to John and Shirley for sending me the GPX files for the counties that I was looking for. The folks on the benchmark forums are indeed very helpful people! Quote Link to comment

You do not get a zip file when you go to the datasheet download page. After you select the datasheets you want, you then hit the "get datasheets" button and it will eventually show a list of all the requested datasheets as 1 long text file. You click on the file button on the menu bar and select "save as" and save the page as a "text" file. You then run the file through a GPX file generator. You then open the GPX file with GSAK. I use BMGPX to convert the text file to GPX. John Quote Link to comment
