+camlia Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I am on my second evening of trying to load geocaches onto my etrex 20x and becoming very frustrated. Finding info is not easy and I am not very techy. I am using a laptop with windows10 preloaded on. Can someone kindly talk me through what to do? I have googled and I have youtubed. No luck. Please help! Quote Link to comment
+The Happy Hodag! Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Are you loading caches one at a time? I see you're a premium member, so I would suggest creating a pocket query for the area you're loading caches in. -The Happy Hodag! Quote Link to comment
Pup Patrol Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) I am on my second evening of trying to load geocaches onto my etrex 20x and becoming very frustrated. Finding info is not easy and I am not very techy. I am using a laptop with windows10 preloaded on. Can someone kindly talk me through what to do? I have googled and I have youtubed. No luck. Please help! It would be easier to help if you would outline exactly what you are doing, how you are attempting to load the caches into your gps, step by step. B.

+camlia Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 I have managed to get a pocket query loaded in the computer but cannot get it to gps. It is in the garmin - gpx folder. Watched a youtube video to get that far. I seem to read that windows10 is a problem. Have tried on sons windows8 computer but no luck. Quote Link to comment
+camlia Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 I am so happy I have got it working. YAY. I downloaded the garmin communicator from Mozilla. Quote Link to comment
+Bear and Ragged Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 The Pocket Query does need to be unzipped, the two files can then be drag/dropped - copy and pasted into the GPX folder in the Garmin Folder on the GPS Quote Link to comment
+The A-Team Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I am so happy I have got it working. YAY. I downloaded the garmin communicator from Mozilla. I'm not sure how this could have helped. The Garmin Communicator is only for loading caches one at a time from the cache page. It can't do anything related to pocket queries. Those need to be manually downloaded, unzipped, and copied to your device. Quote Link to comment
+camlia Posted June 25, 2016 Author Share Posted June 25, 2016 Oh well maybe it was one of the other multiple things I tried. However it all went to plan once I installed the communicator, so I will give that credit. Quote Link to comment
