    Surface by Microsoft Windows RT

    Thanks for your research! I'm learning! I'M still in the 30 days return window. Do you thing with the new tablet with Windows 8 coming caches could be transferred?

     

    If you need it for vacations & hooking up your GPS to it....YES, consider taking it back!!

     

    I had been in the market for a tablet and researched this very same issue. No USB ports to transfer data. Sure - you might be able to transfer data using wifi & other gadgets, but.....

     

    Not that I'm trying to promote anything, but I ended up buying an ACER ONE 11.6 netbook. Basically, it's a smaller laptop and you can get it with different systems installed. I wanted/needed Windows 7 Home Premium because that's what all our desktops use (and it works with our home group).

     

    Haven't taken it on vacation yet.... but its got everything installed on it (Webupdaters, POI loader, will eventually have GSAK on it, had 3 USB ports, WIFI....etc).

    The Surface RT does have a USB port and with GCExplorer I can download my pocket queries or individual caches. It is a great little tablet I'm very happy with it it will be great on trips. Thousands of apps came out since December 2012.

    The windows App Store shows no returns for geocache. Be more specific about the driver issue. Do you get it when you plug the GPS into the device to be mounted or when trying to download a single cache from its page.

     

    You should be able to download a PQ to the device and use file manager to move it to your GPS though.

    I have downloaded as GPS and Zip but have problems using Explorer Files to transfer. See my reply to vulvulune. Thanks.

    If you see your device in the explorer you can use GCExplorer (www.gcexplorer.com), an app for Windows 8, and download your PQ in gpx or zip format directly from the app.

     

    In a future release, you will be able to download a gpx file for any cache.

    I See Magellan Drive D, in Windows File. I see my pocket query in windows RT Explorer in gpx and Zip file format. When I try do copy to Magellan Explorer stops responding. When I use GCE Explorer the caches appear for a second after a long wait and then I get the message : There ia an error that occurred. I'm used to Gsak to transfer caches.
