Trouble downloading waypoints from Google Eart to Garmin eTrex Legend

Ok...read the manual for the Garmin eTrex Legend and it says very little about how to download the waypoints into the unit.

 

From Google Earth, I have saved a group of caches I want to find in a bookmark. I know how to build pocket queries and bookmarks, but am ready to lose all my hair because I may pull it all out in frustration if I do not figure out how to get them into my Garmin!!!

 

HELP a lady save her hair!!!! ;)

Downloading GPX/LOC Files ;):D

As a premium member you can use Pocket Queries to have files of up to 500 caches each emailed to you. Also see Pocket Queries: A Detailed Explanation by Markwell

 

To get the caches from Google Earth into your GPS you'll have to save them in a KML file then load that file into software that supports KML and GPS communications. GPSTrackmaker (freeware) among others will do this.

Thanx for the response! I found it odd my GPS system had no software with it. I didn't consider that, just thought the file went directly into the GPS...but I cannot even see the GPS when I have it plugged to the computer.

THANKS and I will now have some closure! And keep my hair!!! :D
