WLShafor Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I recently picked up a Magellan Magellan - eXplorist GC. I'm super excited to be able to finally have a handheld GPS. I think that i'm having some issues with updating the maps and also installing Magellan's app. I went to http://www.magellangps.com/Store/eXploristSeries/eXplorist-GC Downloaded, extracted the .zip file Magellan Communicator for Mac. It claims to be a browser plugin however I can't find it using Safari or Chrome. Maybe this isn't supported anymore or maybe it's because my OS X is newer and they haven't updated this yet? Next I wanted to install the new updated maps. after connecting the GPS via USB to my laptop I received this massage from the maps installer "GPS Device Error!" "Incorrect GPS Device Connected" How is that possible if I downloaded it from http://www.magellangps.com/Store/eXploristSeries/eXplorist-GC It's a flipping eXplorist GC hmm..... Anyone have any ideas on what's going on? Quote Link to comment
+Redsville Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'm having a problem with mine as well! I have a pc. When I try to download a cache it says GPS not recognized. I've downloaded the software from Magellan too. I bought this because it was supposed to be geocache friendly, but it's not so friendly to me..... Quote Link to comment
+Crestnet Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Hi I am new also but have found with my new Magellan Explorist 310 you need to down load a progam called....Vantagepoint . http://www.magellangps.com/Store/VantagePoint_Software/VantagePoint This software loads up your geocaches etc. It links in with goecaching.com with your user name. I hope this helps. Quote Link to comment
