Afternoon All,

 

I have a Garmin GPSMAP 62ST and use GSAK.

 

today i loaded a single cache from Geocaching.com onto the GPS and after coming home i could not figure out how to import the find into GSAK.

That's very difficult to say as long as you are not telling us what you actually have done.

That said: Tell us - step by step - what you are doing and someone might find your error.

Hello,

While it is possible to download from Geocaching.com to your gps, it is actually a limited method and downloading caches one at a time will wear you out. You are a premium member, so you can create queries on geocaching.com. If you are not familiar with creating queries go to "Play" on the menu and select queries. Once you get a query to run store it on you PC. (remember where) Now crank up GSAK click find, load .gpx at the location you stored your query. You will have a listing of 1,000 caches if you want that many. Now simply hit file, export .gpx to your model gps and you have 1,000 caches loaded. You can do a lot more with GSAK and you GPS, but lets not overload you at the start. Practice creating and loading gpx files to your gps. I think you will rarely if ever need to use that single load method again. Also, see if there are any experienced cachers in the area that use GSAK and would be willing help iron out any questions. Hope this helps Peoria Bill :>)

So old fashioned

Run a PQ, Open GSAK >> geocaching.com menu item >> download Pocket Queries

 

As for the OP' problem.. Don't know what you're doing but connect your GPS to your computer. In GSAK ga to "geocaching.com" menu >> publish logs and then "Fetch from GPSr". Type your log, OK >> Publish all...... done
