TeamBaugh Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 (edited) Every time I try to download the geocaches from garmin.com onto my 60Cx they store under waypoints. Can anyone help me as I am brand new to all of this with only 1 find so far. Thanks again. Edited October 18, 2008 by cvbaugh Quote Link to comment
+needadietcoke Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Having the same problem, so looking forward to an answer of your question! Quote Link to comment
Motorcycle_Mama Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Hmmm, they don't do that on my eTrex Legend HCx. They show up under Geocaches. Of course, they ALSO show up under Waypoints since Geocaches ARE Waypoints. Are you using the most current version of the Garmin Communicator Plug-in? Quote Link to comment
TeamBaugh Posted October 18, 2008 Author Share Posted October 18, 2008 Yes i downloaded it yesterday from garmin.com when i first bought the gps. Quote Link to comment
Motorcycle_Mama Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 And the geocaches that you download from garmin.com only show up as Waypoint and not as geocaches? Do you have geocaching set up on your GPS unit? You have to tell it which symbol to associate with the geocaching function. Does it show the closed treasure chest on the set up page?

I have set everything up as noted. But when I hit goto and then it shows waymark or geocache i have nothing in the geocache spot. All of them store in the waypoint section. Quote Link to comment
TeamBaugh Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 Well found out if i turn the unit off and on twice they finally load. 5 found today thanks to the gps. WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO Quote Link to comment

WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO On the 60cx there is a geocaching mode that you have to enable in the menu. I can't recall exactly where it is in the menus. But you should be able to find it in your manual. The other thing that I've found is that I have my best luck exporting caches to mapquest using GSAK and then use mapquest to send them to the gps. Quote Link to comment
+Night Stalker Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I must be a little dense. Why are you downloading caches from Garmin and not Groundspeak? I have had my 60cx far to long to remember if and where I had to turn on the geocching mode. Quote Link to comment

I have never used it but it is there. Quote Link to comment
