+Jobu35 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I have already searched the forum....... Trying to get the Garmin Plugin it says it is no longer supported and sends me to Geocache.com, which just says to get the plugin form garmin. I am able to do it on my pc at work since it is Windows 7, but I won't have this pc forever so I need to be able to download caches from my home pc. Does anyone have a work around?

If it's a very old Garmin which requires special software, there's info throughout this Forum about keeping Garmin Communicator functioning. It's a lot of extra research and work, and it gets tougher to do all the time. You can load most Garmin handhelds (and even Nuvis) directly. Plug it into the USB port, on a cache page click "GPX File" (the button that has the exact text "GPX File"), and save the file to the folder Garmin/GPX. It's the same way you save Pocket Queries. It does exactly the same thing that Garmin Communicator does, except you get more control and it doesn't stop working when you get a browser update.

+Mineral2 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Pocket queries are your friend. Say goodbye to loading your caches one at a time and instead install up to 1000 in one file, customized to your liking. Quote Link to comment
