+Tring1 Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 I have been away from Geocaching for awhile and am not sure how to download a cache to my GPS. I have a Garmin etrex and attempted to download a cache, I received a message that the cache information was sucessfully downloaded but I don't see it listed under waypoints on my gps. Help please Quote
+XopherN71 Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Did you click 'download' or 'send to gps'? Quote
+Tring1 Posted April 18, 2008 Author Posted April 18, 2008 Did you click 'download' or 'send to gps'? Yes I did click on it and it said it was downloaded. But I can't find it on my GPS unit Quote

I think we need to clarify something. Are you visiting a cache page, like God College Micro and clicking on one of the buttons near the top: LOC Waypoint File GPX eXchange File Send to GPS Send to Phone Or.... are you doing something else? from another program (like GSAK)? ~Ariel Quote

And it's not anywhere on your unit? I'm assuming you mean the basic eTrex model (no other letters on it). And that you have the cable plugged in... Maybe someone who knows more about that unit can help, but it's my understanding that clicking that button will put the waypoint on your GPS. On my unit (GPS60Cx) waypoints are stored in the waypoint area under the "Find" feature. ~Ariel Quote
+XopherN71 Posted April 18, 2008 Posted April 18, 2008 Does the Garmin plug-in have to be installed for that to work? I don't remember... Quote
