Publish Logs with GSAK

You can publish logs with GSAK straight to your Geocaching.com account.  It doesn’t matter if they are different types (Found It, Didn’t Find It, etc.) and it can be for a single or multiple Geocaches.  There are templates that can be applied so that your logs are customized just the way you want them.

Here’s all you need:

  • GSAK installed on your PC
  • Geocaching.com account
  • (Optional – Geocaching friendly GPSr)
