Citation preview
GSAK Presentation.This presentation of GSAK is intended to help you make a start with using this extremely useful database manipulation tool.There is way too much to learn, or teach, in the limited amount of time we have. With this in mind I have prepared some Power Point Presentations. These aids I have loaded as links into a document in my Drop Box . There are other useful links as well and they are appended to that document.One of the difficulties with teaching, or advising, how to use GSAK is the fact that it is very dynamic. As we speak Clyde will be tweaking the current version, Lignumaqua will be busy on some macro(s) or helping someone on the GSAK Forum. Kai Team will also be seeking to give helpful advice on all or any aspects of GSAK. This difficulty is also a blessing as the tweaking is constant improvement and the advice extremely helpful. By far the best way to keep up-to-date is regularly read what’s happening on the Forum. http://gsak.net/board/The Power Point Presentations cover:Sorting DBs for cachesMacros andUsing the Geocaching.com API in GSAK.My intention with these Presentations is help you to find the information you need to further develop your GSAK skills.I will make these PPPs available in my Dropbox. Please email me if you would like to get the addresses
