Hello everyone, I have the PQ being delivered to my email and will load them tomorrow onto my GPS. Once I have them loaded is there a way of putting these in some kind of order or numbered. I need to make easy for me to read since I am new to this. Like I have said, I have a Gramin Oregon 650T. Any help would be great. I am planning on being a Bob's on Friday night so I will be asking a lot of questions from the pro's. LOL

Hello, I am brand new to this. Where do I find the information I need to find the caches? Can I load them all into my GPS at one time or do I do it one at a time. Any help would be great. I am using a Garmin Oregon 650T. Thank you for your help. I am looking forward to doing this. John

Did you get this problem solved? If not this is what I did. I am a Newbie also. I have the Garmin Oregon 650T. I am using windows 10 also. I made me a folder on my desk top and labeled it GEOcache. then I ran a Pocket Query and had it saved to that folder. The I unzipped it. Then I went to my file explorer. once I found out where my Garmin was located, "has to be plugged into your computer", I dragged over the unzipped Pocket query and saved it to my Garmin in the GPX file. It worked great then. Hope this helps.

Thank you kunarion that was the answer I needed. I am starting to get the hang of this. LOL it will take a little time and I will have it figured out.

I wanted to ask about when I am looking for a cache and I find it, then I would like to add notes to this cache. Can I add them to where I have the cache page open to or do I need to go to the waypoint manager to add note there. When I up load to my computer do these up load also so I can start a log of me own to keep ? If someone could help set me straight here it would be very helpful to me. I am still learning but I am getting the hang of it. Thank you Garmin Oregon 650T

I sent one message yesterday. About an hour later I remembered something else that I wanted to tell the other person and them the message part was not working at all. Kind of frustrating when you need to tell someone something.

Ok, thank you I might be asking a little more questions when I get stumped.

I have it figured out now I think. I have it set at Track Up. Still have a lot to learn on this thing. LOL! Thank you for your help. Do you have an Oregon650T?

I am brand new at Geocaching. I like the way this sounds and I am planning to attend. I live here in Yakima. I have a new Garmin Oregon 650T that I am trying to get all figured out. Would there be anyone attending this that has one be able to give me some helping tips on using this? I am stumbling through it but I am getting frustrated. LOL Slowly but surly I will get it figured out.. LOL

Explain why did you choose your Users Name/Geocaching name
SantaJohn replied to DisneyXtreme's topic in How do I...?
I chose mine because I am a Professional Santa Claus. HO HO HO and off I GEO! -
Hello, I was going out to find my first GEOcach using my new Oregon 650T. I have loaded it with my pocket query. I choose the cache that I wanted to go find and I noticed that the directions was totally opposite than I was facing. The map was like backwards to what I was expecting. Does this not go by true north? Do I have to turn the whole GPS to make it work in the right direction? I thought it might turn automatically with in the GPS unit. Maybe I am not seeing something or thinking differentially. Could someone help set me straight. I did calibrate my compass so it is right.

hello, if you have not found your answer to this you can go up to my question and find out how I did it for the Oregon 650T. I was having a heck of a time getting it into my GPS but now I have it. It is listed under "I am new at this" by SantaJohn Hope this helps

Thank You everyone. I Finally got it to work. I made a folder on my desk top and named it GEOCaches. I then down loaded the file to there. Once I saw that it was there I finally got it to unzip. I was having problems with that working. I then plugged in my GPS and drug and dropped it in to the gpx folder. I unplugged my gps and looked and it is there! thank you for the help!

So do I need to down load them to my computer first? If so I should make a file named Geocaching and put it in there? Then do I need to make a file on my GPS so it will be installed there or just drop in in the GPS file on my Oregon650T and let it be there. Like I said I am new to all of this and it feels like I am going in circles. LOL but I am trying and I am understanding a little. It is just things are not real clear in what I have read and I have not found any videos showing just how it is done. they stop just short of that. Thank you for all of your help.

I am new to all of this. I bought a Garmin Oregon 650T. I would like to know; 1) Do I have to load each Geocach one at a time? 2) Can I load more than one at a time? 3) I read something about a Pocket Query. Do I get to chose the geocaches that I want to load to my GPS? I have a Garmin Oregon 650T. Thank you for your help!
