    Default Combining caches from several databases in GSAK

    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

    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.
