+HaLuMa Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Hello! I create small windows commandline tool for converting set of PQ GPX files into one GGZ file. It is good for Garmin Oregon 6xx holders. So, you can use any your favourite software for generate PQ GPX (or download it directly from the geocaching.com web) and convert it into one big GGZ file. See: GGZgen Quote Link to comment
+kookabean Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Hi --I have a Oregon 600 and can load the GPX files , but the unit does not see the files as geocache files. I now assume one needs to convert them to GGZ for this unit. Is this correct? , if so this is a dadgum nuisance and naughty of Garmin to impose this new format with NO reading support. I down load your converter , unzip , but the application does not run - it runs for a fraction of a second then closes ..PLEASE help , leaving on world trip and need to load many geocache to this GPS ..PLS assist --anyone can help , will be appreciated --regards dave my mail james1@mweb.co.za Quote Link to comment
+Red90 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 It is a command line program. You need to run it from a command line. GSAK will also make GGZs for you. Quote Link to comment

If you want to convert them to GGZ files, then GSAK can do that easily. Easily means.... just how? Plug your Garmin in, run the standard export macro and check ggz. Much easier than a DOS command line interface and if you already have GSAK it is a breeze. Quote Link to comment
