Macro usage

CMNumber.gsk will read the datafile and put the appropriate stop number into GSAK's user sort column. Sorting on the user sort column will sort your database into the cache machine order. And if your really cleaver you can use the numbers in the user sort column to put numbers in front of the name on your GPS devices. (hint: %usersort %name or %usersort %code)

PhonePrefix can be used when exporting a .gpx file for a smartphone. It puts a leading zero number in place of the single number from usersort. On the gpx export dialog in the cache description box enter %mtag="PhonePrefix.gsk" %name.
