+Rockin Roddy Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Loaded my first cache straight from the cache page last night, it is quick and easy! You'll need to download the plugin, but it's so simple! The added bonus, the description comes out looking much more like the actual cache page, breaks between sentences, set up much better! I am really loving this! Down side, I now have to remove all my caches and re-load them (or was the descrition change only for direct downloads??)!! Quote Link to comment
+embra Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I believe that any caches you download through the plug-in will overwrite existing caches of the same gc number. Quote Link to comment
+dadude712 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 New to pn-40 (about to buy one with rebate). Can you not use PQs on the pn? Do you have to load every cache one by one right now? Thanks, dc Quote Link to comment
+dadude712 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Also, I see the plug-in for mac. Has anyone tried it? I didn't think pn-40 had much for the mac? Thanks, dc Quote Link to comment

Thanks, dc YES!!! I loaded 2 PQs to my PN-40 with very little trouble at all! There's a step by step in the DeLorme forums, but it's truly easy! When you have the PQ, unzip it and then, with the TOPO open in the background, drag the PQ to the maps and it'll load right to the maps without problem! from there, simply download (export) to GPS and you're golden!! Mac is also supported now...as promised!! And yes, you can load the cache straight from the page!! Quote Link to comment
+Rockin Roddy Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I believe that any caches you download through the plug-in will overwrite existing caches of the same gc number. Just so I'm clear, will the plugin also work on the PQs and how does this work?? Quote Link to comment
+embra Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 You can't take a gpx file from a PQ and do anything with the plugin (I'm expecting that Cache Register may have some kind of interface for multiple waypoint management). But you can preview a PQ and use the plugin icon at the end of the line in each record of the listing. Quote Link to comment

But you can preview a PQ and use the plugin icon at the end of the line in each record of the listing. I agree. I expect that Cache Register will provide multiple caches to be downloaded to the PN-XXs as PQ now does, but in the same format as the new plug-in. Now, I have no inside knowledge, but what else would one expect Cache Register to provide? Quote Link to comment
+KJcachers Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 (edited) I believe that any caches you download through the plug-in will overwrite existing caches of the same gc number. Wrong. I downloaded a cache using the plug-in and when I went to route to it I found that I already had the cache in there from my last TOPO7 load. They look a bit different and the hint on the plug-in is at the bottom after the logs. The hint on the TOPO7 loaded file is towards the top before the logs. Another nice thing I noticed on the plug-in file is that a period in the cache title ( . ) looks normal and not like an underscore ( _ ) like they do when using the TOPO7 load.

+WatchDog2020 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 (edited) Ok - I'm new to peperless caching but like this a lot. Dumping several at once would be nice, but doing 1 at a time isn't that bad at all. Would like a few more logs to transfer. BTW - I'm at +/- 12 feet in my house at my computer without WAAS. (still would like a WAAS lock) EDIT - I love the cache names being shown Edited February 12, 2009 by WatchDog2020 Quote Link to comment
+Jackknife9 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 My new PN-40 was waiting for me when I got home last night. I loaded a few caches to go find today at lunch time. I had no idea it was a new feature that they just turned on. Cool! Quote Link to comment

Another nice thing I noticed on the plug-in file is that a period in the cache title ( . ) looks normal and not like an underscore ( _ ) like they do when using the TOPO7 load. Loading from T7 and Send to GPS are treated as different caches but if you Send to GPS a cache twice the prior cache will be overwritten. Note that if the cache was marked found it will be reset to not found. Quote Link to comment
+Tek_guy and Countrygirl48 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Works for the PN-20 as well. Quote Link to comment

Downloading multiple caches without going through Topo 7 and in the format of the Send to GPS plugin will be part of the Cache Register widget. http://blog.delorme.com/ Quote Link to comment
Rivr Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Just got a new PN-20 two days ago. The next day send to GPS feature was added. I had no problems. Things are looking good. Rivr Quote Link to comment
joesdolphins Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 If your looking for paperless geocaching nothing beets the garmin colorado. I love mine Quote Link to comment
+Klemmer Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Sweet! Works like a charm. Very simple download / install / use. Awesome! Quote Link to comment
+randyrucker Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Works great. Just transferred about 100 caches. Takes about maybe 10 sec per cache. Can't wait for Cache Register. Quote Link to comment
+Team CowboyPapa Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 (edited) And now the new firmware, 2.5Beta3, is up which lifts the cache description character limit to 15,000, provides FieldNotes capability and improved WAAS aquisition.
