    Default Locking multiple GCs in Memory-Map

    Can anyone advise? I import Pocket Query results into Memory-Map every week. That's fine but often when moving around the map I'll inadvertently pick up a GC and move it somewhere else, then have to look up the GC and re-enter the correct co-ordinates. Does anyone have a (Memory-Map) solution that will allow me to automatically lock all the GCs?

    I know I can export to .CSV format, edit that file, then re-import into MM. Also I could use GSAK but I get a bit annoyed with that program (is it sacrelige to say that on this forum???). What I'd really like is a macro to run inside MM although I don't think that's even possible. I have trouble looking up anything on the web about MM as, with that name, it brings back mostly computer processor memory map references.

    Hope someone can help...

    i use memory map, i import the unzipped gpx files straight from the unzipped folder and they are already there locked. i know that doesn't seem to help but do you do anything to the files prior to importing them?

    Nobbynobs - thanks for that interesting reply. No - I do just as you described - unzip the files and import them directly into MM (including the waypoints files). I wonder why yours are already locked - I'll have a look at the MM and Pocket Queries options to see if there's anything that might affect the GC status.

    yes version 5. i've not adjusted anything so i'm sure why it's different.

    any technical boffs who might shed some light on this ?

    I use PupPort in GSAK to get LordElf's icons in Memory Map.

    Icons are locked in Memory Map (V5)

    I can't see anything in MM or Pocket Queries that might affect this

    I just click on 'Overlay'>'Properties' and then just right click on each categorie and select Lock and hey presto all caches in that category are locked. Then when I transfer to the PDA they are locked on there as well.

    DrDick&Vick - I tried that a while ago and it didn't work. HOWEVER - I just tried it again and guess what... it worked just as you say :socool:

    I guess it's time for the brain-cell to be serviced again.

    thanks all - a great, simple, easy, resolution.
