Receiver for Mac. Beginning August 2018, Citrix Receiver will be replaced by Citrix Workspace app. While you can still download older versions of Citrix Receiver, new features and enhancements will be released for Citrix Workspace app. Citrix Workspace app is a new client from Citrix that works similar to Citrix Receiver and is fully backward. Import, organize, manage, explore and export your geocaches with iCaching. A native, fast Mac App! Import GPX- or LOC-files using the import button, or drag and drop them into iCaching. Import Pocket Queries directly from Geocaching from the Pocket Query window. ICaching also notifies you when new PQs are ready for download. GSAK is the all in one Geocaching and waypoint management tool. Major features include: Multiple databases, sending/receiving waypoints to GPSr, Leaflet maps, Geocaching.com live api, online logging, conversion to many mapping formats, HTML output, extensive searching, macro support, backup and restore, distance/direction from other waypoints (including caches, locations, post codes) and much.

Home ->GeoCaching ->GSAK Explorer 146 macro help

By far, far the easiest way to check if you qualify for this cache(and others in the series)and to provide proof that you qualify is to use the excellent GSAKprogram and the ExplorerChallenges macro.For those that are unfamiliar with these I provide here some notes.

My preferred proof is an image of the macro output attached to your log.If you wish to email your proof to me, which is absolutely fine,my preferred format is a .html file.More on this below.

If you are unwilling or unable to use GSAK, for example if your computer is a MAC,then the simplest option is to email me the zip file of the Pocket Query of your finds.More on this below.

Note: Although these notes were produced in support of myExplorer 146 Challenge, they shouldbe able to help you with any of the Explorer challenges.

Note: You need to be a premium member to download Pocket Queries.Without this ability, the benefits of installing GSAK are almost completely negated.

Emailing me

For anyone who already knows one or more of my email addresses, any of those will do fine.If you don't, then please use gc3gk87.20.bernard@spamgourmet.com.

Note: Please only email me about my challenge!

Disclaimer

While I have never had a problem with this application and do not know of anyone having a problem,please note that you follow these instructions at your own risk.

Installing GSAK

Go to the GSAK home page where there is a linkto download the installation file. There also a link to getting started guidesin a handful of languages. You do not have to pay for the program but if youplan to use it a lot could I encourage you to cough up - it's remarkably good value.

Once you have downloaded the installation file, run it (double click). It should befine to accept all the defaults but feel free to change them if you wish (and you know what you're doing).

Configuring GSAK

Just one thing that you must do.From the 'Tools' menu select 'Options...'.Click on the 'General' tab, if not already displayed.You need to complete the 2nd sub-section down on the left hand side,the one titled 'Method for matching owned and found caches'.Select 'Owner ID#' and then, in the field directly below, type in your Member ID,which is to be found on your 'Account Details' page.

The 'My Finds' pocket query

When you are signed on to your account you will see a green menu bar at the top of the page,just under the word 'GEOCACHING'. Hover over 'Your Profile' and click on 'Pocket Queries'in the menu that drops down. Scroll down towards the bottom of the page to the sub-section 'My Finds'.Click on the 'Add to queue' button.

Within a few minutes you should receive an email saying 'Your Pocket Query titled 'My Finds Pocket Query'has been generated and is now available for download on Geocaching.com.'.The link in the email takes you back to your Pocket Query page.Here you will need to click on the 'Pocket Queries Ready for Download' tab.Now you can download the 'My Finds Pocket Query'.

Creating a new GSAK database

In GSAK, click on the 'Database' menu and then on 'New...'.Type in a database name and click the 'Create' button.I would suggest setting up one called 'My Finds'.

Loading your finds data

In GSAK, ensure your 'My Finds' database is displayed. (It will be empty the first time.)

Note: Above the display area, immediately above the column headings,is a toolbar. Look along it to find 'Database' and a drop down menu from which youcan select the database you want to work with.

From the 'File' menu select 'Load GPX/LOC/ZIP...'.Alternatively, click on the folder icon directly below the 'File' menu.In the first field type in the location and name of the file you have just downloaded or,simpler, click the folder symbol at the end of the line and browse to it.Leave everything else as defaulted.Then click the 'OK' button.

Installing the macro

Go to the Explorer Challenge macro page.Scroll down to the last post and click on the 'ExplorerChallenges.gsk' link.Save the file to your computer. Now double click the file to run it.GSAK (if not already running) will start and you get a window titled 'Open a GSK file'.You want the 'Install the macro' option which should already be defaulted.Click the 'Go' button. The 'Run Macro' window will now open.Either close it or continue to the next section.

Note: Instead of saving the macro file to your computer you may get an optionoffering to open the file with GSAK. This will work equally well and is quicker.

Running the macro

In GSAK, ensure your 'My Finds' database is displayed.From the 'Macro' menu select 'Run/Manage...'. Alternatively, click the double right pointing arrowhead icon.Click on the 'ExploerCallenges.gsk' macro file to highlight it and click the 'Run' button.Alternatively, simply double click 'ExploerChallenges.gsk'.From the drop down menu select the appropriate map and click 'OK'.

The macro creates an html file in a temporary folder and then displays it in your default browser.

Providing proof of qualification

Simplest is to email me the html file produced by the macro (the URL field should tell you whereit is on your computer). Alternatively, simply save the web page to a location of your choice.

Alternatively, you can save a screenshot and attach it to your log.Ideally, please trim the unwanted bits of the image.You'll probably chop off the right hand part of the table but this doesn't really matter.

If you don't (yet) qualify

If you find you have fallen short of the required 146 squares, fear not, the macro can do more for you.First, however, you need to do some additional preparation.

Create a new pocket query.
Call it 'Explorer 146'.
Ask for 1000 caches.
Check the 'I haven't found' and 'I don't own' boxes.
Select 'By Coordinates' and use N51 14.127 W000 12.653 (mid-point of the 146 map).
Within a Radius of 100 miles.
Check 'Include Pocket Query name in download file name'.
The last is not essential but makes identifying the file surer.
Run the query and download the results.

Create a new GSAK database called 'Explorer 146'.
Import your 'My Finds' pocket query.
Import the 'Explorer 146' pocket query.

Run the macro against the 'Explorer 146' database.

The figure for squares where you have found caches should not have changed.However, it should now, additionally, be reporting those squares where you hav'n'tfound a cache and where there is at least one cache to be found.

Note: You don't have to use a separate database,that's just my personal preference.

What you need to install Windows 10 on Mac

• MacBook introduced in 2015 or later
• MacBook Air introduced in 2012 or later
• MacBook Pro introduced in 2012 or later
• Mac mini introduced in 2012 or later
  

• iMac introduced in 2012 or later¹

The latest macOS updates, which can include updates to Boot Camp Assistant. You will use Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows 10.

64GB or more free storage space on your Mac startup disk:

• Your Mac can have as little as 64GB of free storage space, but at least 128GB of free storage space provides the best experience. Automatic Windows updates require that much space or more.
• If you have an iMac Pro or Mac Pro with 128GB of memory (RAM) or more, your startup disk needs at least as much free storage space as your Mac has memory.²

An external USB flash drive with a storage capacity of 16GB or more, unless you're using a Mac that doesn't need a flash drive to install Windows.

A 64-bit version of Windows 10 Home or Windows 10 Pro on a disk image (ISO) or other installation media. If installing Windows on your Mac for the first time, this must be a full version of Windows, not an upgrade.

• If your copy of Windows came on a USB flash drive, or you have a Windows product key and no installation disc, download a Windows 10 disk image from Microsoft.
• If your copy of Windows came on a DVD, you might need to create a disk image of that DVD.
  

How to install Windows 10 on Mac

To install Windows, use Boot Camp Assistant, which is included with your Mac.

1. Check your Secure Boot setting

Learn how to check your Secure Boot setting. The default Secure Boot setting is Full Security. If you changed it to No Security, change it back to Full Security before installing Windows. After installing Windows, you can use any Secure Boot setting without affecting your ability to start up from Windows.

2. Use Boot Camp Assistant to create a Windows partition

Open Boot Camp Assistant, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder. Follow the onscreen instructions.

• If you're asked to insert a USB drive, plug your USB flash drive into your Mac. Boot Camp Assistant will use it to create a bootable USB drive for Windows installation.
• When Boot Camp Assistant asks you to set the size of the Windows partition, remember the minimum storage-space requirements in the previous section. Set a partition size that meets your needs, because you can't change its size later.

3. Format the Windows (BOOTCAMP) partition

When Boot Camp Assistant finishes, your Mac restarts to the Windows installer. If the installer asks where to install Windows, select the BOOTCAMP partition and click Format. In most cases, the installer selects and formats the BOOTCAMP partition automatically.

4. Install Windows

Unplug any external devices that aren't necessary during installation. Then click Next and follow the onscreen instructions to begin installing Windows.

5. Use the Boot Camp installer in Windows

After Windows installation completes, your Mac starts up in Windows and opens a ”Welcome to the Boot Camp installer” window. Follow the onscreen instructions to install Boot Camp and Windows support software (drivers). You will be asked to restart when done.

• If the Boot Camp installer never opens, open the Boot Camp installer manually and use it to complete Boot Camp installation.
• If you have an external display connected to a Thunderbolt 3 port on your Mac, the display will be blank (black, gray, or blue) for up to 2 minutes during installation.
