I'm currently using a Garmin Nuvi GPSr for geocaching, however, thought it might be nice to use my Blackberry also/instead. What software seems to be the best & user friendly?

My GPS unit is no longer registering most of the GPX files (from geocaching.com) that I am sending to it. I went to a geocaching event on 10/03/09 and have had this issue ever since. Information: GPS unit is a Garmin nuvi 265WT. I use Windows Vista, Internet Explorer 8.0.6, and GPS Communicator Plug-In 281. At the cache webpage, I just choose the Send To GPS box (which previously worked just fine). It seems that since 10/03/09, the majority of the caches that are over 30 miles from my home coordinates won't load into the GPS unit. However, a couple of them are successfully loaded. But, in doing so, some of the caches that were loaded onto the unit right before 10/03/09 are being reloaded (whether the original ones are still on the unit or not). This week, I used a friend's computer (he has the same model Garmin as I do) to attempt to download some caches. He runs Windows XP and the Communicator Plugin 281. We've used both Internet Explorer and Firefox (not sure what versions) to download. The same thing is happening. We decided to download the same caches to his Garmin. The caches loaded (using the same method of just choosing "Send to GPS"), however, he has the same duplication problem that I have with mine. A second issue is that the Traffic function (as this model came with lifetime traffic) is no longer working either. We're both just about ready to Reset our units and wipe out all the cache information that is already loaded and start all over again. However, I thought that I'd consult with this forum before taking this drastic step! We're hoping to get this all straightened out as we're thinking about attending another cache event this coming weekend. Note: We are both premium members with geocaching.com. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks so much.
