I have downloaded all the info I need for our forthcoming trip to Scotland and have ended up with 3 databases, roughly 700 caches + waypoints etc.

I would like to selectively combine the caches we will be doing into one database for uploading into cachemate. Can this be done?

Any help would be most welcome :applause:

First back up your GSAK databases in case anything goes wrong.

Create a new database for the caches you want to send to Cachemate: Database > New... Select an appropriate name for the new database.

Then do the following with each of your 3 existing databases in turn:

Check the User Flag for each of the caches you want to move to the new database. Then choose Search > User flag set

You should now only see the caches you've set User Flags for.

Choose Database > Move/Copy waypoints. In the dialog box select your new database from the dropdown list. Click on Go.

I hope that helps.

Edited to add: I'm using GSAK v6, but I imagine it's similar if not the same in v7.
