Cant upload Geocaches to my Garmin GPS


Recommended Posts

Hi all

 

I have just brought a garmin 20 etrex for my boyfriends birthday. I am finding it impossible to upload any geocaches to my device, I have tried for hours. How come its so complicated and difficult? I have installed the garmin communication tool. I have gone onto geocaching.com and searched for caches and clicked send to my gps but it sends nothing. Doesn't say its sent, just refreshes the pop up. How come i cant just download them in bulk? How come i cant just go to a simple download page and upload them? I am so frustrated. I don't understand why they make it so complicated.

 

Thanks in advance.

All web browswers are starting to prevent the use of the Garmin Communicator...

The easiest way to 'Bulk' load caches is with Pocket Querey. This is however a paid for service.

(Some say it's worth it, for the PQs alone!) http://support.Groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.book&id=5

 

The other way to load individual cache GPX files is to down load to the GPX folder of your GPS, or to a folder on your desptop, then copy over to the GPX folder on your GPS.
