+JimnDiane Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 As a premium member, what steps are needed to download an entire PQ into the Garmn Oregon 650t?. I can do one at a time, which could get tedious. I much prefer the geocaching.com site to Opencaching from Garmin...more information in a better format. Quote Link to comment
+Chrysalides Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I use GSAK to do it. It can download the GPX, add them to the database, sort / filter and then copy the result to the Oregon. If you prefer not to, you can always try scripting it. Your script needs to fetch the files (the URL to a particular PQ is always the same, but you need to use the cookies from your browser for authentication), unzip them, then copy the result to your Oregon 650t. Opencaching will not give you all the caches on geocaching.com. Depending on your location, it may not even give you most of the caches. Quote Link to comment
+Lil Devil Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 As a premium member, what steps are needed to download an entire PQ into the Garmn Oregon 650t?. Run a PQ. Download the ZIP file. Unzip it. Plug your GPS to your computer. Copy the 2 files from the ZIP onto the GPS. Unplug the GPS. Go caching. Quote Link to comment

+JimnDiane Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Thank you for the heads up re GSAK...did some research and discovered it was Swiss Army Knife. I followed directions, and Voila, I have an Oregon 650t full of the PQ. Thank you so much! for your help Quote Link to comment

+JimnDiane Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Thanks...I didn't know how to unzip a zipped file. I went through GSAK, and it did it for me. Thanks so much for your response Quote Link to comment
