  1. That was a little harsh dontcha think? Thank you Vincenzosi and mpilchfamily I finally was able to download the caches successfully. I deleted everything as you said and then I was able to download them. I have not yet set up the pocket query lol..I am just happy to have been able to download caches. I think I should have been clicking download to gps and instead I was clicking download to loc or gsx, so that was where my problems were to begin with. I am going to try the pocket querey later today. Thanks again for your assistance!
  2. I just reinstalled everything..although the device says connected to pc, the red bar that shows that it is connected didnt move when I installed everything so I do not know if that worked. I tried to download a cache to gpx and it wants to open file with MS internet explorer and when I hit ok, it gives me a screen of computer writing that is totally greek to me. So then I went back and clicked search for a program to open files and downloaded something else that probably will give me a virus. Should I just uninstall everything again and try to start over? It really has taken the fun out of this for me...I have been trying to set this up since Friday.
  3. I have no idea what it means to run a PQ. I just uninstalled the software again for the 4th time and reinstalled and now it is back to San Diego caches. I live in Chicago, so I have no need for San Diego caches or maps. When I click on maps it also puts me in San Diego. I thought this was supposed to be a user friendly, easy device. I am so frustrated because I bought it online and do not think I can return this.
  4. Hello, I just bought this gps and trying to download caches. No luck, just error messages. Have went to Magellan site and download the software 1.6 and the NMEA driver. Then I tried downloading GPX file applications. Still nothing. Any ideas? I am taking my son to 2 week trip in Black Hills SD and we would love to do some geocaching there. Thank you
  5. Hello I have tried for several days to download caches. I thought I had installed all of the drivers necessary, but when I try to download caches, a Adobe Reader box pops up with error message saying it "cannot open geocaching[1].loc because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged( for example it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded.)" I have no clue how to proceed. I went to the FAQ site and tried downloading various free programs for loc, gpx but to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas? Your help is greatly apprecited. I first learned of geocaching through scouting. My son is a Life Scout who just finished his Eagle project and we are planning 2 week trip to Black Hills SD and would love to do some geocaching there....if only I can get this to work!
