+Smitsen en maren Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 When I want to send caches to my GPSmag 62s I get the next announcement: Garmin Communicator Plugin NOT detected. When I install the communicator Plugin it seems to go OK, but when I try to send a cache again I get the same announcement. By the way: till next week I did not have any problem with this. Can anybody help me? Smitsen en maren Quote Link to comment

+Gitchee-Gummee Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Using Internet Explorer? Try switching the "compatibility mode". Quote Link to comment
+caretaker5 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 same problem for me with garmin etrex H, and garmin etrex venture. tried switching compatibility mode? not sure if I did that correctly or not, added Groundspeak to "list of websites I've added to compatible view" even put garmin on there. I used to have a compatibility button/tool I could click on to change the view of the page, but it appears to be gone? when I try to install I just keep getting led through the same loop with no resolution. I use internet explorer, and changing the port had no affect either. any suggestions? Quote Link to comment
+BrianBongi Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I was having the same problem as Smitsen with the Garmin communicator and not being able to download GC's to my handheld. What I did was: 1. Reloaded the communicator plug in. 2. While on the Geocaching.com page, On my toolbar on top of page go to the tools tab, open " Compatibility View Settings" and add Geocaching.com. I did this this morning and it's now working again.

+caretaker5 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 this is still a problem in IE for me, but works just fine using google. not sure what they(IE)did, but I don't like it. anyone still having problems and not getting results with "compatibility view" tools should try a different browser.

+Rod1947 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I was having the same problem with my Garmin 62s, not sinking with my computer... I added in the compatibility view settings in Internet explorer, upper right had corner under tools, both geocaching.com and Groundspeak.com... I was then able to load the sink program for Garmin and it all works fine now... So far, this has solved my problem... Thanks... Quote Link to comment
+Clan Lonewolf Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 This was also solved for us by adding Geocaching.com to our Compatibility View Settings". Thanks for the help! Quote Link to comment
+Mitragorz Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 This happened to me the other day. Not sure why it wouldn't recognize the plugin... But I downloaded it again and tried it right away but still no dice. It worked fine after waiting a few minutes and trying again. Quote Link to comment
+check1212 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Help!!!!
