Name of GC doesn't appear on GPS

[+Arizona KGB]

I created a pocket query and downloaded it to my GPS. I named the PQ. None of the geocache names appear on my GPS, only the the name of the PQ. All the other information is there. I have no idea how to get the GC names to appear or what I am doing wrong. Any ideas on how to correct this?

Knowimg what GPS you have would be a great help. Assuming it is a Garmin touchscreen , set the profile for geocaxhing ans press the treasure xhest icon. Then find a cache.

This, and also how you downloaded it to your GPS. For example, if you loaded it into a piece of software and then used that to load them into your GPS, we'll need to know that too.

Has this worked before? The PQ (after you unzip it) typically has two files, each with ".GPX" extensions. On a Garmin, the GPX files are placed in the /GPX folder, so the GPSr can read the files.

 

How are you viewing "the name of the PQ"? If it's the file name on a PC, that's correct. You won't see individual GPX files, they're all combined in a GPX Pocket Query file (and there's that separate waypoints GPX file, too). You then start the GPSr and see the list of Geocaches.
