Downloaded Cache locations to my GPS

[+Tring1]

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

Did you click 'download' or 'send to gps'?

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

You missed the question. It was an either/or scenario.

 

Did you click on "Download"?

OR did you click on "Send to GPS"?

You are correct I did read it wrong, sorry. First I dowloaded the software and then I sent the cache information to my GPS unit.

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)?

"Send to GPS"... hmmm... ok. 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.

Does the Garmin plug-in have to be installed for that to work? I don't remember...
