I fixed it! I fixed it! I fixed it!!! In IE, go to Tools, Internet Options, Advanced, Browsing, then check "Enable Third Party Browsing Extensions" .... YAY!!!!!!

Garry, did you ever figure out why you are getting the message that it can't find the plugin? You may have seen my prior post on this topic. I get that error with my PN-40. Can't figure it out, I've tried everything... Susan

Thank you Searchers. Tried this and unfortunately it didn't work. When I click the tab back to DeLorme, the red circle is still there. Following up on this to note that I still have the problem, on the off chance there is someone out there with an answer or knows of something else I could do.

It used to work. It doesn't anymore. It does the dreaded red circle/slash on the first step and says "Cannot find the plugin". I downloaded it from DeLorme again to make sure I have the latest and greatest. Installed it. Made sure it is enabled as an add-on in Internet Explorer. Cleared my cookies. Restarted everything. The GPS acknowledges the connection and I select "Data Exchange", just like always before. So I've reached the full extent of my personal troubleshooting capability. Any ideas?? Thanks!!

Yes, I have other functionality such as posting on the forums, and I can see the cache descriptions but it won't show me maps. I reinstalled the plug in and enabled popups on the browser just in case, but when I try to upload a cache into the GPS, I still get this message: "Object doesn't support this property or method. You're using an unsupported browser or you need to reinstall the plugin." Arg.

Hm. I have been using wifi at various campgrounds, but for the most part I am using the internet via a tether from my droid phone. I confess to some ignorance here, do not know who my ISP is in that regard. Yes, thanks for gleaning that from the pics, it is a Delorme PN-40. I know now I can go to the website and download the plug in, I will try it. BTW, at another campground with NO wifi and very weak phone signal ... they situation is looking more bleak by the minute! Thanks.

I'm on vacation and have been looking forward to caching along the way. It has been working fine for the first 10 or so days. Now, I am encountering two problems, I can't imagine they are related but here goes: - I can't see the maps on geocaching.com. Normally I use the "Map It" button to decide which caches to upload to my GPS. I click on it and get a blank white square. "Done, with errors on page." I have not changed any display settings on my computer. - Caches won't upload to my GPS. It tells me my browser is not supported or that I need to reinstall the plug in for my unit. One search I did tells me the geocaching website would automatically direct me to the right plug in. I don't know how or where to get it. Any thoughts or assistance would be appreciated! Thanks!

Yes, I thought about listing it myself but I'm pretty new to this and wasn't sure if that was the right thing to do. I like the idea. There are numerous caches in the area and I was about .2 miles from 2 others I had just grabbed down the trail. This one is very close to the parking area at the trailhead. Thanks everyone for your input!

I suspect it was never registered. If it had been it would have had numerous finds, it was so visible from the trail. I can't be the first person to have found it in 3 years. .... weird ....

I was out caching on some hiking trails and noticed a container under a fallen tree. It was pretty visible from the trail. The note inside explained that it was a geocache and had been placed by a boy scout troop on 9/26/06.... 3 YEARS AGO! I was the first and only to sign the log... came home ... checked the geocaching website ... of course no such cache is registered. Hm ... leave it to me to have my first FTF be accidental and unregistered!
