GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife) Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Tracking Caches in Excel

  You could load the caches into GSAK and export them to a .csv file which Excel can work with. Source: 5 months ago

• Can I view a list of Adventure Labs by searching for a Creator? There are a few I liked and would like to see if that Creator has other Labs. Searching for owned Labs on profile just sends me to AL main page which seems pretty useless.

  The second step is https://gsak.net/index.php to download and use GSAK to sort the gpx file by owner name. It's a free to download, but there are A LOT of options to choose from. Fear not!, because the default settings are pretty much all you'll need. There are probably quite a few utilities out there that will work just as well as GSAK and be a lot easier to use so let's see if anyone can suggest one of those. Source: 10 months ago

• Best free Geocaching app for iOS without subscription

  If you do find yourself planning ahead, rather than copy coords down, you can use GSAK (on a computer) to collect the info on the caches you want to look for, then export that as a .gpx file, and save it to your phone and open it with whatever geocaching app you choose to use.

• looking for an app that marks all the paths I have been to and go to on maps.

  Look for apps that target geocachers. For example - GSAK (https://gsak.net/index.php). Source: over 1 year ago

• Mass logging

  It's an application which has a lot of uses. https://gsak.net/index.php. Source: over 1 year ago

• Software to create offline Googlemap or similar using GPX file

  I'm not sure if this will do what you want but it does handle GPX files and Google Maps - https://gsak.net/index.php. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Google Maps data dump

  You can either import the resulting GPX file into a tool like GSAK which will let you do further refinement and even display on an OpenStreetMap map. From there, export them to a delimited file: name, description, latitude, longitude. If the list is small enough, you can use a tool like GPS Visualizer https://www.gpsvisualizer.com/map_input?form=google to display them. Source: about 2 years ago

• Userscript to automatically copy the coords from Final waypoint to the change coordinates field.

  Generally when I'm attempting a bunch of puzzle art, I first start with a combination of pocket queries or customized lists to produce a set of GPX files that I can download into GSAK - geocaching Swiss Army Knife (windows-only, freeware). Source: over 2 years ago

• Been a while since I've explored, can you log finds without leaving an actual log?

  Most of the statistics are geared around actual "Found It". That said, I have known folks who will use the "write a note" function, which you can reference later via the site, and then store their own version finds in something like GSAK (now free) to generate stats. Source: over 2 years ago

• Still new to this, can someone help me understand if a certain function exists?

  I don't user either of them, but I think this may be one of those niche things that the Geocaching Swiss Army Knife can do. Or a Pocket Query if you have Premium. Source: almost 3 years ago
