I'm new to geocaching. I received a Magellan eXplorist GC device as a present. I have tried numerous time to download data to the device by connecting to my PC, but nothing happens... I get the "Connected to a PC" screen that will stay there for hours and nothing happens. There is a list of caches on my device when I "search for caches nearby" that are 80, 90, 100 miles away and the dates they were last accessed appear to be sometime around 2010??? I have agreed to the "Groundwork" terms of agreement, registered as a premium member on geocaching.com...
I got this device so I wouldn't have to use my iPhone to geocache, but I am finding this device absolutely useless so far! I went out with it yesterday and ending up turning it off and using my iPhone ANYWAY!!!
Does anyone have any advice on how to sync the device to my account/PC so I can get current cache information downloaded to my handheld eXplorist device? Thank you for your help.
