Thks for the reply. I hope you will continue to work with Garmin to determine the root cause of this problem. I appreciate your suggestions but they are merely placebos that may or may not work at any given time. I would suggest that you let members know that you recognize that there is a problem and that you are working towards a solution. Most Cachers just want to play and they are not techees nor should they have to be, to go caching. Patrick and Ruthe Merritt, B.C.

Our developers are aware of the issue with trying to use Send to GPS via geocaching.com/map. You can however still use Send to GPS via the cache listing. If you are using Internet Explorer, please review the following: We have identified some compatibility issues between Internet Explorer and Geocaching.com. We are working to address these, but in the meantime you can take some steps to ensure that you have the optimal view of our site through IE. 1. Go to your Tools menu. 2. Click "Compatibility View Settings" and insert geocaching.com under "Add this Website:". 3. Click "Add" 4. Click "Close". Please also clear your browser cache and cookies. Alternatively, you can access Geocaching.com through a different browser. I hope this helps. Please let me know if you require further assistance.

Hey GG, I appreciate the reference to the thread discussion. However, none of the suggestions offer a long term fix. How do we contact Geocaching.com to take the lead on this? It is their product that is not functioning if they want cachers to keep their membership and continue the game, the onus is on Geocaching.com to seek a long term resolution. As a minimum they should be able to tell us que pasa Dude! p.s. I have a Garmin 62ST, so the problem is not model specific

OK out of the blue, I am having the same problem. I can download the cache info IF I access the cache from the table, I cannot download if I access the cache from the map. I have tried ALL the suggested fixes and some will work for awhile and then were back to zero. I am beginning to think that it is a Geocaching.com software problem. GC/Garmin instituted an update not long ago, that changed the physical look of the pop-up when you access from the table. The pop-up from the map is the "old" model. Not being a techee I no idea if this is the cause of the problem or not. But as a fan of Geocaching I am really PO'd that we are caught in the middle of a tech problem that Geocaching.com and or Garmin and or IE and or Microsoft are not looking at and offering a fix.

Having similar problems. Just happened to have a saved 2012 version of the plug in and it is only one third the size of the current version of the plug in so iit looks like Garmin has updated the plug in and as a result it seems to overwhelming the pc,s So being a non teche, what is ie and where do i find the compatibility function

That's true for the web site . . . the hints are obscured using ROT13. However, in a downloaded .gpx file, the hint is not obscured, it is in plain text. For example: <Groundspeak:encoded_hints>between</Groundspeak:encoded_hints> Ok, Ok I am a low level techee cretin. I know that I can convert the hints manually. I was just trying to understand why when I download a GPX file where the hints have been translated, it shows up on my computer as encoded? Why must one always find a third party download to solve the oversight problems created by the original authors?

Windows 7, see my edit Ummm, what software APPLICATION are you using to open the gpx files? It downloads to my C:/ as a GPS Exhange File

Windows 7, see my edit

When I download a GPX file to my notebook, it will not give me the decrypted hints . I can only get the encrypted copy. Should add that whe I download the encripted copy, the unencripting (sp?) featuire does not work. The notebook has Windows 7

If I access the GeoCache page through the Garmin site , I can download LOC files (Cache sites). However if I go directly to Geocache, as in now, if I download cache sites, my computer does not recognoze the .LOC format and I cannot load my GPS. Going through Garmin is less user friendly and time comsuming.

I just shake my head in disbelief. If you want to kill a growing sport, just keep making the same stupid rationales for desicrating cemeteries. Simple question, how would you fell if you saw a gang of Geos dancing on your parents grave. Get smart, stay in the forest and away from cemeteries, they are holy places to someone!

I'm going to call you on this one. We can either visit or not. If they start defining visiting by certain actions or body motions they are in the wrong business. I'm going to call you on this one too. I've served on the boards of two rural cemetery associations. Yes, you can visit, whether you have family buried there or not. But your actions must conform to the association's expectations of a respectful visit. No dogs, no Frisbee playing, no young children running loose, etc. And no geocaching. ... I find that other peoples opinion of what's respectful is rather limiting to those of use who are respectful of the people who's graves we visit. Your rule about no dogs for example. My wifes sister was an avid fan of dogs and cats. This love of animals was taken to an extreme that caused the family a lot of angst. When she died a stray dog came from seemingly nowhere into the middle of the service and did what dogs do, it was perfect. No higher tribute to this person could have been made. For us to not bring our own dogs when we pay our respects would in fact not be respectful. We don't pay our respects to the board, we come to honor our own.
