I have some old caches still showing on my cache map, and I want to start again with fresh imports, so if I click the box that says "clear map before import", will that get rid of all my corrected coordinates. I dont want to lose them so please can somebody advise? Many thanks in advance.
Great utility this by the way. I love it.

Is it not possible to change

Is it not possible to change the coordinates of Letterbox caches? If I change them in GSAK will it show in CacheEye when I import them in ?
Thanks

Corrected Coordinates

Coordinates of caches exported from GSAK are generally not able to be corrected within CACH'EYE, they have to be corrected in GSAK. You have to use the option "Corrected" in the "Coordinates to use" section of the GSAK macro.
If coordinates are corrected in GSAK and are exported to CACH'EYE, these corrected coordinates will be shown in CACH'EYE.

Corrected Coordinates

This depends on the way the coords where corrected.
If the corrected coordinates were entered in CACH'EYE they are not lost at all! If the cache is imported again with the "clear map before import" option you will again see the corrected coordinates. If you don't import this cache you will not see it, as long as you do not reimport it. But the corrected coords are not lost!
If the coords were corrected in GSAK and then imported, then you have to reimport the corrected coordinates from your GSAK.

So you can use the "clear map before import" option without the risk of losing your corrected coordinates!
