+debbie23 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Hi there, Currently I am only able to transfer/copy one geocache at a time to my GPS but this takes forever. Is there a way to send several/lots at a time? Thank you Debbie xx Quote Link to comment

Is there a way to send several/lots at a time? You can use a feature called "Pocket Queries" (info is on that page), to get a GPX file of caches in a whole area. Once you've done that, the exact steps for copying the files depends on your computer and your GPSr. For most Garmin handhelds and Nuvis, you place all GPX files in [Drive:]/Garmin/GPX/ You can use your GPSr (Garmin, at least) as a USB drive, to add files, and remove old ones. For any number of individual GPX files, copy & paste just as you would with a thumb drive. If you haven't tried Pocket Queries, there's a little learning curve, but follow the instructions, and they're not too bad. Edited August 24, 2014 by kunarion Quote Link to comment
+Chief301 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Since you are a paying Premium member, you should spend some time learning how to generate Pocket Queries as described above. You might as well use the single most useful benefit of Premium membership (IMHO) Quote Link to comment

I will try to work it out as I'm not 100% on computers. :-) xx Quote Link to comment

+Calypso62 Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 What GPSr are you using debbie23? If it's a Garmin, I have some procedures, in word documents, that may be of assistance to you. Quote Link to comment

It is a Garmin 62stc. Word documents would be great as I find them easier to read. xx Quote Link to comment
