Route Optimisation

Destinator's route optimising is limited to about 10 points to determine optimal route.


Displaying Caches via GSAK Export

GSAK can be used to send caches to Destinator.

How to do it

Recipe:

You need...

  • Destinator
  • Destinator Console 3.1 (or any version of it that has "Favourites Importer")
  • GSAK
  • A filtered set of Geocaches

Steps:

  • Filter the caches you want in GSAK (which I'm not going to explain here)
  • Export a Custom CSV file (see Creating Custom CSV below)
  • Using Destinator Console's "Favourites Importer" load the CSV files into Destinator

You only need to do the setups below once, and then from there the steps above can be completed whenever you want to export to Destinator. I have it exporting several different queries in the macro (see below) and have several Custom export settings saved for the different groups of Favourties.

Creating Custom CSV: To create the Custom CSV, you first need to create a GPSBabel translation document.
