[Az-Geocaching] Calling all PDA Gurus

[AZTech]

Well, maybe it was changed in one of the recent upgrades Clyde has distributed (I'm now using v6.0.1), but it looks like that option is now on by default, so that may not be the problem.  Under File->Export->GPX/LOC File, 'Include GSAK extra fields in export' in the upper left part of the dialog should be checked.

Dave,
Thank you so much.  I am sure that is the issue and I will go plinking 
around GSAK and see if I can find that option.

I found a ROM upgrade at http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/handheldiPAQ/us/download/15532.html (which looks to include the PPC2002 End User Update), which should bring your iPAQ up to date so that you can use most PPC software.

When I made changes to it in GSAK, it wouldn't load.  IIRC, there's an option in GSAK to generate .GPX files "with geocaching.com extensions", which isn't enabled by default, but which resolves this issue.
