I did not realize that I never updated this post...sorry. I did eventually get GPSBabel to work and am now able to get my geocaches loaded into my 60Cx using GPSBabel. I appreciate all of the advice and help I was given here! Many thanks!

Thanks for all of the information and ideas! I am really trying NOT to have to run a virtual Windows. I did download GPSBabel, but could not get it to work. I guess I need to study it more and see if I can get it operational. I just thought perhaps there was something easier....I forgot just how old the Garmin 60CX is. I have tried other GPS units, but have always come back to my 60CX as it has never let me down. Hopefully, I can at least get the GPX file to load even if I cannot manage the caches on Linux. Thanks again!

I recently switched my computer to Ubuntu/Linux. The only wall I have hit with programs is geocaching. I have read through the forums and see there is a program called, "Open Cache Manager" that is similar to GSAK. I installed it, but it does not run. In looking at the history, it was last supported in 2018. I would like a program similar to GSAK to manage my caches. If that is not available, I would like something (ANYTHING) which would enable me to at least get a GPX file into my GPS (Garmin 60CX). Does anyone know of anything out there that would work? TIA! PS...yes, I can put the GPS in Mass Storage Mode, but when I do that I only see the contents of my micro SD card. I cannot seem to access the GPX folder and place files into it (I pretty much remember doing that years ago on a different laptop).

Thanks for your response, capoaira! I emailed geocaching.com about this and they fixed my account so that it now works.

I have two verified email addresses in my premium account, yet when I try to run a pocket query and send that query to my email address, neither of my email addresses shows up on the page. Instead, I receive the option to click on a link to add another email address to my account. Clicking the arrow in the box shows no email addresses. I have not geocached in a while....am I missing something? I am using geocaching.com on my laptop.

Waymarks aren't caches? Caches are little boxes...? When did that change? All one needs to do is take a look at their USER STATS in their account. What do you see? In addition to traditional caches, you see virtual caches, webcam caches, earth caches, locationless (reverse) caches, etc. We have been playing the game for awhile now and these have always been caches! Now, the rules are changing and some caches aren't caches anymore? Call 'em what you want, but they are still caches to me.

Since Premium Members will also have accounts at Waymarking.com, why not allow Premium Members to keep totals of all caches of ANY KIND on our geocaching.com account? In other words, if I choose to make a Waymarking "find," I would like to look at my geocaching.com account and see it show up on My Account page as a find. I want it in my total count, listed in the appropriate category (as it is now). I think this would be a fair request of Groundspeak since they are "changing the rules in the middle of the game" so to speak. So, how does everyone else feel about this idea? Come on, let me know and let Groundspeak know, also! And my opinion of Waymarking: I wish Groundspeak had left geocaching.com alone. I like it just the way it is now. Adding a second game site just takes up time I don't have (the Fraggles said this best). ...I wish this membership was a democracy and we could actually vote on proposed changes.
