magellan gps v windows 10


Recommended Posts

Hi there, can anybody help a technical idiot to download caches from a windows 10 laptop to a megellan explorist, I unfortunately really don't understand computer terms, it is very hard work to write everything down and enter waypoints, which is what I have been doing. Is this the end of my geocaching days?

 

If you were still a Premium Member, you would make use of Pocket Queries.

 

But your profile indicates that you are no longer a PM, so that's out. The forum title of "Premium Members" does not go away when a PM has lapsed.

2.10. How do I download geocaches to my GPS device?

Here's what I do: (I save gpx files now, as PM)

 

1.) create a folder on the computer. Call it something like "geocaching loc files"

 

2.) save the loc files of the caches you are interested in searching in that folder

 

3.) use GPSBabel to transfer them from the computer to your gps

I've created tons of folders, actually. I make new folders for specific locations or dates.
