  1. I've come across an issue with downloading when using Chrome to my Garmin. I'm told that the Garmin Communicator Plugin is not detected, and elsewhere I discovered, by accident, that this is apparently not supported by Chrome any more.

     

    The only way I could see of downloading individual cache details to my Garmin was therefore to use another browser (in my case IE). I can still upload Pocket Queries through GSAK

     

    Excuse me if some of the above terminology is not totally accurate, as this is right at the edge of my comfort zone, but you'll hopefully get my drift. Maybe this is the issue that the OP has encountered?

     

    I have been using Chrome, thanks for the tip will use another browser, :)B):D

     

    IE has trouble with Compatibility mode http://support.Groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=457

     

    Chrome seems to have tightened up on their security, and needs to be told that the Garmin Communicator is OK to use.

     

    Firefox seems not to have any problems...

    Ok thanks, I have firefox, I have tried explorer and I think I am getting somewhere at last. not holding my breath though lol

  3. We're gonna need more to go on:

     

    How are you sending waypoints? Is it using the "send to GPS" button on the cache page?

    Do you see any errors, or other messages? If so what are they?

    Which browser are you using, and if it's Internet Explorer which version?

    Have you plugged the GPS into the PC with a USB cable? (please don't be offended if you think this is obvious as some people have tried to do it wirelessly before now).

     

    Hello, Thanks for answering us, I am not offended at all but i have used the USB cable and managed to bring up some waypoints from the Garmin to the PC but when i try to send the to the Garmin i get a message saying i need a download but when i try nothing happens, i have been using Chrome but someone on here said maybe i need to use a different search engine,

  4. Hi, We have an etrex 10 garmin and we are have tried and tried to download waypoints from our pc but with no luck, :( We have only been Geocaching since February, can anybody please help? :)

  5. There have been books written on this subject!! There are hundreds of different types of puzzle, some based on photos, some based on maths the list goes on and on.

     

    I would suggest you look for caches with a one and two star difficulty read the cache page and look for something that you may be familiar with eg pop music, cars etc

     

    Many an hour has passed at geocaching meets discussing how to solve the more tricky puzzles so I would suggest attending if you can.

     

    The other thing to do is to send the CO an email and ask for help, they generally are happy to help. Your question is perfectly acceptable but one thing that is frowned upon is asking for help for specific puzzles on these forums.

     

    Happy Hunting!

     

    See above.. and don't limit yourself to any specific one. Look at a dozen or so and see what clicks with you. As you get more experience you'll find more of them to be doable. Most experienced cachers still have a few filed away on a to-do list that don't seem to make sense right now.

  7. Hi we are new to geocaching, we have been ok with the cache that we can go directly to, but the puzzle ones really have us stumped. can someone please explain how we go about finding how to solve and understand these when there are so many different ones out there, i think we just need some examples as some friends showed us one and we seemed to have grasped how to do that kind,
