Gsak For Mac

  1. Gsak For Mac 2019
  2. Gsak Macro County

GSAK (if not already running) will start and you get a window titled 'Open a GSK file'. You want the 'Install the macro' option which should already be defaulted. Click the 'Go' button. The 'Run Macro' window will now open.

UPDATE: iGeoKnife is no longer available from iTunes. This page will remain for historical purposes.

  1. C:geo is an open source, full-featured, always ready-to-go unofficial client for.
  2. If you are unwilling or unable to use GSAK, for example if your computer is a MAC, then the simplest option is to email me the zip file of the Pocket Query of your finds. More on this below. Note: Although these notes were produced in support of my Explorer 146 Challenge, they should be able to help you with any of the Explorer challenges.

Install iGeoKnife. You’ll arrive at this window

iGeoKnife is an App available from iTunes ($3.99) for your Apple device that allows you to have your GSAK database with you wherever you go. If you don’t use GSAK (Mac users) you have the ability to import GPX, LOC, ZIP, and DB3 files into the App and have powerful sort, filter, and search capabilities on the imported data. Import data using the iTunes filesharing feature or directly from other Apps on the device such as a mail client, Dropbox, Safari, etc. The Dropbox method is versatile since you can share database files with other cachers and have your own database available on all your devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod, PC).

iGeoKnife will give you access to detailed cache information, and permit you to log caches;

Open Dropbox. Tap the Filename. Tap the Action Icon

all from the App. Use the built in compass and map feature to navigate to caches and associated waypoints (parking, multi-stages, etc.)

(There is a similar App for your Droid phone called GDAK (Geocaching Droid Army Knife) but since I don’t have a Droid phone to review with, I will not include any information about GDAK in this article. If YOU have a Droid and want to send us a review of GDAK, please contact us)

So let’s get your GSAK database (or other files) into iGeoKnife:

  1. Purchase and install iGeoKnife from the App store
  2. Open iGeoKnife and tap on OK to allow iGeoKnife to use your current location (or Don’t Allow if you prefer not to use to navigate to caches)

To import a GSAK database, or other files, using iTunes’ filesharing, follow the on-screen instructions (See top photo).

To import a GSAK, GPX, LOC, etc., file from Dropbox

  1. Place the file in your Dropbox folder using your PC or Mac
  2. Open Dropbox on the device that you installed iGeoKnife
  3. When the file appears, tap on it to select it
  4. Tap on the action icon at the top of the Dropbox window
  5. Tap on Open In…
  6. Tap on iGeoKnife
  7. In iGeoKnife, tap the Filename and a check mark will appear to the right
  8. Tap New at the bottom of the screen

    Tap on iGeoKnife

  9. Tap in the name you want for the database
  10. All the caches associated with the file you selected will load into iGeoKnife
This is not pretty and cannot be done realtime, yet, But I haev found a way to convert Vistumbler data into a variety of Nav File formats (including MSTRIPS)...
One of my other hobbies is a sport called Geocaching (google it). Essentially is using GPS to locate 'caches' placed by other geocachers and posted as waypoints. Many GPS related tools have been created to help in this with the most popular being GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife)
http://www.gsak.net/. Among the tools available in GSAK is a a file conversion utility that converts either .LOC or .GPX waypoint files into a large number of other GPS/MAPPING Navigators including:
CacheMate PDB File
CSV or TXT
Custom Format

The process is a little bit involved but not unbearable.. Export Vistumbler data as a .GPX file (remember where you parked it) then open GSAK then under File, select Load GPX/LOC/ZIP then the GPX file you are wanting to import. Gsak will then build the database... Since it is not specific to the actual data exported by 'tumbler , it will list ssid, mac, and coordinates. It will not translate the GPS track just waypoints
