"Going forward, GPSr users can put geocaches on their devices by clicking ‘Download GPX’ on the Geocaching map, or by clicking the ‘GPX file’ button on the cache page. Then, transfer the downloaded file to a GPS device." I have tried this and the suggestions on this forum, but NONE are working for me! I never had any problems downloading caches before and cannot see why it had to be changed. It is a shame that the "Download to GPS" option could not be left alongside "Download to GPX" as it obviously doesn't work for everyone.

I have been happily geocaching for over 1 year now, and until today did not realise that there was a geocache forum. It is only because of this problem, that I emailed the geocache people for help and their reply had the link to the forum. Downloading to GPS has worked perfectly for me until yesterday. Like others, I am disappointed that the Download to GPS option has been changed to GPX. I will try some of the options being posted

"Going forward, GPSr users can put geocaches on their devices by clicking ‘Download GPX’ on the Geocaching map, or by clicking the ‘GPX file’ button on the cache page. Then, transfer the downloaded file to a GPS device." I was planning to go out tomorrow to find over 60 caches. I tried to download them to my Garmin etrex GPS only to find "Download to GPS" has been changed to "Download to GPX". I am probably doing something wrong, but can't now get any caches to download to my device. I click on the Download GPX option and it asks if I want to open or save the file. I have tried both of these options, but none give me the option to transfer the downloaded file to my GPS device that is plugged into the computer. It used to be simple and quick to download caches with the "Download to GPS". Can anyone advise me how to resolve this please? (PS: I do not have a smart phone so cannot continue caching atm!)
