Cannot send Geocaches to my Dakota from a Mac

I have just got my shiny new Dakota 20 and I am having problems getting Geocaches onto it.

I have downloaded the communicator and connected up my GPS, the file says that it has transferred but when I go to the Geocaching section on my GPS it says there are 'no geocaches found'. I'm not sure what is going wrong.

The only thing I can see is that when I connect the Dakota to my Mac it appears on the desktop as an external drive and a connection image comes up on the screen of the Dakota, so it looks like the file is going into the memory and not onto the Geocaching section.

Please can anyone shed any light on this for me?

It's probably because the Garmin browser plug-in for Macs is/was broken. There have been several threads here regarding this. If you search, you should be able to find a thread with a link to an older version of the plug-in.

That seems to have worked, thanks. I searched the forum before posting but nothing referred to the image I was seeing on my dakota's screen so I thought it was something different but the old plug-in has worked.

For anyone reading this that has the same problem here is where I found the old plug-in, Number 13 post
