Hi!
You can still use "Send to GPS" in Windows 10 to transfer individual geocaches into your GPSr. You have to use IE11 ( still found in Windows 10 ) and you have to define geocaching.com as a trusted website.
1. Make sure you have the latest Garmin Communicator Plugin installed
2. Open IE11 ( Start => All apps => Windows Acessories => Internet Explorer )
3. Tools => Internet options => Security tab => Trusted sites ( green check mark ) => Sites
4. Click to clear the Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone check box
5. Add www.geocaching.com as a trusted site
6. Close => OK => restart the browser
Now it should work.
Thank you, thank you and thank you. With your post, I was able to get my GPS to work.

For swag, I have used throws from the Irish Channel St. Patrick's Day Club that I belong too. I have also used stuff from local museums (example: golf balls from the National World War 2 Museum).

There have been numerous threads about problems using the communicator, with some Solutions offered. If the method identified in the link does not work for you, there are other threads that might help. But it's also useful to learn how to save the gpx file directly to the garmin/gpx folder - either as a single file with the gpx button or as a pocket query - since the technology underlying the communicator has serious issues .
Thank you. I was able to download a geocache. Hopefully it will fix the problem for good

I am trying to download Geocaches to my GPS (an Etrek 10). For whatever reason, the Geocaches will not download to my GPS. This is the furthest I gotten.
-
Laughing at rereading this post I made about a year ago. A year later and 110 Geocaches later, I am still Geocaching.
I am glad I did not quit this hobby.

...the notification came out at 11:50pm or thereabouts. One of these was in the village where I live, so early next morning a friend and I set off to find it. We were disappointed to find that it had already been logged, but surprised that it was logged at 3:52am! Checking the other caches in the series it seems that he's logged FTF on all except a couple he could not find, between about half past midnight and 6am!...
I wonder if he is just an extreme Geocacher or if he works odd hours for him to find the Geocaches at the time?
One of my friends is a bartender. When we go out for breakfast/dinner (my breakfast, his dinner), we usually meet at IHOP or the Waffle House at 4AM in the morning.

I think on our next cruise, I am going to see if I can host a geocache event on board. Would be interesting to see how many geocachers there are on board. Good luck
I know with my other hobby, Where's George, we had a few Where's George Cruisefest. I hope that one day, there will be an Geocaching Cruisefest.

I am going on a cruise in April (information below). I am thinking about doing some Geocaching while in port and am wondering if any other geocachers have been geocaching while on a cruise? If so, do you have any advice for me about Geocaching while in port?

Has anybody else ordered a toy on-line just so you can attach a travel bug too it and release it?
I am a big fan of the Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra series. I just ordered an Avatar Aang toy from amazon.com and order two travel bugs from Geocaching.com. I am planning on attaching one of the travel bugs to the Avatar Aang toy to release it.
-
I have found somebody's travel bug and already release it. After that experience, I bought my own travel bug and released it. I have bought two more travel bugs.
I hope nobody does that to any of mine travel bugs. To me, it will is like receiving a fake entry.

I have only been Geocaching in the USA (Louisiana and Mississippi). I am hoping that I can go Geocaching in other states and other countries.
The next cruise I go on, I am planning on going Geocaching while in port.
-
There is a very large geocache near my church. I am wondering if it is okay if I go back to that cache every once and a while to place some swag and trackables in it even through I already found it? Of course I would not do that without the owner permission so I am just keeping sure I am not breaking any Geocaching rules.
This cache is located in Algiers Point near the ferry. So I would like to help keep this cache full of interesting stuff to encourage tourist to come to the west bank.

I do not know when I am going on my next cruise, but when I do go on my next cruise, I am planning on bring my Geocaching bag to go geocaching in new locations.

I do have a speech impediment and I am overweight.
To help me lose weight, I am trying to find new hobbies that I enjoy that make me move. Since I started trying to lose weight about three years ago, Geocaching (about 9 months) and bicycling (about three years) are the two new hobbies that I have tried that I have enjoyed.
-
I am thinking about buying another GPS.
I am wondering what are the difference between a etrek 10 and a etrek 20 are and how does it relate to Geocaching? I already own a Etrek 10 and am wondering if it is worth the extra money to buy a etrek 20?
The reason I am looking at buying another GPS is that my parents own a fishing camp in Bay St. Louis, MS. So I can have one at my house in Louisiana and have one in Mississippi.
-
I know there are some locations, it also depends on the time. There is a walking trail near my house (I will hide a geocache there in the future). Sometimes, the walking trail is crowded as can be. Other times, it looks like a ghost town.
-
A while back, I watched the news story on YouTube about Geocaching in Rachel, NV. Now I can't find it. If it still exist on YouTube, please send me the link.
I want to share the video with a friend who is the president of the Algiers Economic Development Foundation (Algiers, Louisiana which is the Westbank of Orleans Parish).

Free things to do on the north shore: Become a treasure hunter with geocaching
The Times-Picayune had an article about Geocaching.
-
I found 37 caches so far.
My blue jean pants fit better since I lost about 13 pounds. I think geocaching has helped me lose weight
-
If you are new to geocaching, one thing I would recommend to go to YouTube and watch some of the videos about geocaching. As a newbie myself, watching different videos on YouTube has been really helpful.

I bought a golf ball and five golf tees that say "Louisiana State Penitentiary" from the Angola Museum. I also bought three golf balls from the National World War 2 Museum.
I am thinking about using at least one of the National World War 2 Museum golf balls when I go geocaching in Mississippi. My parents own a fishing camp in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi so I will be geocaching in Mississippi (I already found one in Mississippi).
-
So far, I found 20 caches.
I almost met another person that was geocaching. I saw a guy walking away from a geocache while I was walking towards it. He log the cache in about the same time I was also logging it in.
-
If I decided to disable my account, will I be able to activated it again in the future? If I decided to disable my account and I decide I want to try geocaching again, what will change on my account when I activated it? Will it still show the caches that I found?
-
If you're geocaching for the swag, might I suggest another pastime called shopping.
Or you can come to New Orleans during Mardi Gras Season and attend some parades.
Totally new to geocaching; how do I use a trackable?
in How do I...?

This video Geocaching.com Presents: Travel Bugs might give you some more information about trackables. Also want to check out
