GSAK allows you to add your own notes for individual waypoints in the database. This notes column displays a notes icon
to indicate that you have attached a note to the waypoint description in the database.User notes support a combination HTML and plain text. However, prior to version 6.5 this implementation was not optimal (line feeds are converted to <br> behind your back and this generates a lot of white space if your notes are purely HTML) . There are times when you want the user notes interpreted as strictly HTML and other times strictly as text. By adding two new directives <OnlyText> and <OnlyHTML> in version 6.5, you can now force GSAK to implement your required behaviour. The directives are mutually exclusive, can be placed anywhere in the notes, and are removed from the final output. These directives are converted in all offline HTML that GSAK generates.
You can also add in pictures/graphics stored on your hard drive - just click on the "add picture" button.
To add or change a note, double click on the corresponding note icon cell for your required waypoint (you can also right-click anywhere on the line and choose Add/Change/Delete Note).
The screen has been split into two sections - "User notes" and "Log section". The user notes are for any personal notes or information you would like to keep. The log section enables you to enter the details of a log that will be later posted to Geocaching.com (or your web cache provider). GSAK allows semi automatic logging of the cache by clicking on the Log Cache button. For more information see the semi automatic cache logging topic.
To delete a note, open the note and click the Delete button.
To print the contents of a note, click on the Print button
To copy the contents of a note to the clipboard, click on the Copy button
Tip: In grid view, click on the column heading to group together all waypoints with notes.
Note: you can also set a filter on notes, to get a subset of waypoints that only have user notes in them
