  1. You probably saved it to a location different than the one your GPS unit shows you when you go under "Points of Interest." Check both your internal storage and SD card. The "Up One Level" command on your eXplorist will help you navigate around all the folders on there. If you can see the icon on your map, place the cursor above it and click the joystick. Then click Edit. This will display the waypoints.
  2. Find a parking spot and geocache until the traffic resides.
  3. I may be able to answer my own question...as I read around on the site, they reference "hundreds of trails." So I'll curb my enthusiasm. Still, with user-submitted trails perhaps this will turn into the uber-site some of us have hoped for. Let us now invoke incantations for the great GPSBabel to spread the wealth to devices beyond the GPS-enabled phone caste. This will open Trimble up to a LOT more people. While this could obviously result in a lot of lame submissions, I think that for the most part this can't but help. I'm stoked, personally.
  4. That's neat, but check out the already existant, very long thread of this same topic.
  5. I have a hard time seeing how a crash prevents you from now downloading files. Perhaps it reset your virus protection, which is now blocking your downloading? Also, PQs are sent via email, so run some of those.
  6. You can download each geocache individually as a .loc file or you can download multiple caches as one .loc file if you are not a Premium member. You cannot download caches as .gpx files if you are not a Premium member. If you wish to get .gpx files, you can use GPSBabel to convert your .loc files to .gpx files.
  7. Link? Could it be http://chimbisimo.googlepages.com/home (as shown in their signature)? Precisely.
  8. Yup. I even wrote a web page about it. Once you figure it out, it's easy!
  9. Also remember it may not be a problem with your unit but with the cache's coordinates.
  10. Maybe it's a terrain difficulty 6 and they're STILL hiking to the hiding spot.
  11. I se a Magellan eXplorist just fine on my Mac. I made a website about it. http://chimbisimo.googlepages.com
  12. I'm loving my eXplorist 500, so I'm sure you'll like the 400.
  13. Excluding putting maps on your unit and SOME firmware upgrades, there is NO NEED to use Windows!!!!! I even made a website about MUGs (Mac-using geocachers). http://chimbisimo.googlepages.com
  14. As long as you can enter coordinates into your unit, you can geocache with it.
  15. Although, those REI classes are great...
  16. Looks like you're trying to save the page rather than download the .loc file. Locate the link to download the .loc file by looking here: http://picasaweb.google.com/chimbisimo/Sit...751525478677874
  17. 1.) It gets me hiking 2.) I like feeling like a spy
  18. Try Lexar customer support on their website.
  19. I: Double check the logs to make sure it's still there Stop thinking about it for at least a week Bring other people to help Bring other people with other GPSrs to help Post my DNFs - often the cache owner will contact me to see if I need additional hints Approach GZ from a different angle Do it in the daylight
  20. I guess if you're doing a trip across California and won't have computer access at all, you might need to do this. Or if you were giving your GPS to a computer illiterate person to use for geocaching. But those are about the only reasons I can think of.
