I'm looking for any help out there. I have a new Colorado 400t and a premium membership for starters. I'm new to caching, but not new to GPS's or computers, nor am I technologically challenged. Am I wrong to have expected to be able to:
1- find caches near me on Geocaching.com
2- upload them into my GPS
3- have fun!
Apparently I need a degree from MIT to make this happen. As instructed, I have tried to download and run ALL of the GPX applications listed on the site, but none of them run. From the "Downloading GPX/LOC/KML Files" page, there are 5 GPX manager programs for Windows and all 5 of them freeze before even getting past a splash screen and I have to close them with Task Manager. When I try to upload caches individually, they show up on my GPS as gibberish and with none of the details and descriptions I specifically bough the unit for! I'm trying to plan a trip with my family for a week and if I have to manually load a couple hundred potential cache sites, I'll make new plans!
I'm hoping I just missed a small but vital step. I am running the most up to date software on the GPS.
Can anyone give me a glimmer of hope here? At this rate, I'll save the $500 bucks and go back to map and compass!
Thanks in advance for the lifeline!
