How do I send more than one geocache at a time to my GPS

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?

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.

Thanks for the explanation. I will try to work it out as I'm not 100% on computers. :-) xx

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) :)

 

Love your response. 'you should spend some time learning' Felt like I was getting a little telling off :-) Thanks xx

I didn't mean it that way....just saying it would be worth your while, because it takes a little trial and error to get accustomed to it and get the most benefit from it.

No offence was taken I just had a little laugh when I read it. It's just my sense of humour sorry. :-) xx
