Garmin Communicator Plugin

Hi all, I am a complete idiot when it comes to technology. I'm trying to send the cache coordinates directly to my GPS (a Garmin GPSmap 60) via the "send to GPS" button that is found on all the cache pages. I've got the latest plugin (confirmed by the Garmin test page) and when I hit the "send to GPS" button on the cache page a dialog box opens up and says that it found my GPS. I hit the "write" button and it tells me that the *.gpx was saved successfully. However, when I check my GPS I don't see the cache anywhere. Help!

As long as you were not in USB Mass Storage mode when you sent the *.gpx to the unit, try this:

1. Go to the Main Menu.
   
2. Select Find.
   
3. Select Geocache.
   
4. Press the Menu button.
   
5. Select Find by Name.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I was able to find the caches using "search by name". Any idea why they didn't show up in my listing of caches? Normally I just turn the GPS on, hit 'Find' - 'Geocaches', and everything I have entered (all manually to this point) pops up.

 

How would I know if I was in USB Mass Storage mode? I gather that's NOT the mode I want to be in?

 

Again, thank you! We are road tripping tomorrow and I wasn't looking forward to entering all those coordinates in my GPS.
