Use the "GPX" button >> save to computer >> Copy *.GPX to x:\Garmin\GPX\ and you have basically done what the "communicator" does. No need for plugins. Ah ok gotcha - I thought there was more being done to the file behind the scenes than that.. Thanks.

Well the default thing for IE did not work. I went back to try Firefox again, and after literally three times of bypassing Garmin's page of "Firefox no longer supports this plugin" I was able to brute force install it basically. Wow, this is the clunkiest software plugin I have seen since 1988. Thanks for the help everyone, and I am sure that I will probably get a premium and do pocket queries later, but I just wanted to try things out for a while. I really hope Garmin can find a way around this since I am sure Firefox will only work for a while as noted. =I

I figured out that the browser you use has to have all defaults in Control Panel --> Programs --> Default Programs --> Setup Default Programs. Thanks - I will try that since even though I was using IE11, it may be trying to use Edge as the default during the file transfer process.

You can get it to work in Windows 10. It is discussed in other threads. Have a read and try some of the suggestions. Complaining here is a complete waste of time as this site has nothing to do with Garmin. You could try complaining on Garmin's forums. Anyway, if you really want to geocache, become a premium member. Pocket Queries are a much better way. I've never use communicator. This issue occurred on Sept 1, that's why a lot of you think it still works, but never mind. At least I can see how the forums are here to newcomers. Point taken, and I will move on elsewhere. As I stated earlier, Garmin appears to be absolutely clueless on what to do other than replace the device, which doesn't make any sense while it works with Safari. I only came here to see if geocaching.com members knew of a way around it. Obviously, without a paid third-party application, there doesn't appear to be a fix via the site.

Firefox has officially stopped supporting it because of security issues. In IE 11, you can get to the file transfer aspect from the site, but the file never gets transferred. Garmin has no idea why. That might be more of a Windows 10 issue, but they need to fix that. I will look into Opera, but come on, Garmin needs to find a way for this to work with IE/Firefox/Chrome... period. Thanks - W3AAX

Hi Everyone, I am brand new to geocaching, but not to GPSes in general. This is my dilemma, please let me know if you know a way around this, or if you know what Geocaching.com may/could do to rectify the situation. As we all know, plug-in support for things like Garmin's Communicator, is gone. The only way I know to store a geocache waypoint on my eTrex20 is to store it to the GPS from this site on a Safari browser on an old MacBook pro I have. With a new Windows 10 computer, nothing will work. This includes the standard IE 11, Edge, Firefox, or Chrome. Before I found out that it still worked on Safari, I contacted Garmin support about it and was told that I need to get a new device. Go figures. So, what is someone with a new computer to do to get caches on their eTrex20? I have scoured forums on the subject, and just find the typical "Garmin needs to update their plug-in" statements, but until they do so, is there something geocaching.com can do? Thanks - W3AAX
