Thanks for all of the tips but I just can't get this to work. I did download the maccaching.com program (which is awesome!!) and can open the gpx file there. I can even "Send to GPS" and it seems to work but once I look in my Garmin I don't see the file. I'm looking under Geocaches, Waypoints, Geocoords...I think I looked under every possible tab but I just don't see the files. I also checked my settings to see if the waypoints would be hidden but they aren't. Not sure what's going on.

Oh...I didn't realize they are zipped files. However, when I try to unzip, I am not given the option. I can open it and view it...it's just a series of text strings (geocoords)...it's a very small file. Not worth zipping.

I have looked under both Waypoints and Geocaches (and most everything else) and do not see the file. When I look on my Mac browser I see that it's in the GPX folder on the device so I know it exists.

Thank you for the tip. I actually have done that...found the GPX folder under my Garmin device and dragged the file there. But when I look at the waypoints on my Garmin, I don't see that particular gpx file. I might have to upgrade to the premium Groundspeak membership...that might be a little easier.

So...I'm a little embarrassed to ask this basic question but how does one go about importing gpx files to a Garmin device? I am working with a MAC laptop and a Garmin 400t. I downloaded a gpx file from the internet and can not figure out how to get my Garmin to accept it. I have installed Garmin RoadTrip thinking this would somehow magically help...but it hasn't. Any tips would be appreciated.
