+Keiger Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 So with my new Colorado 300 I got a 1 month free membership. So down loading the caches to the GPS I am not able to get the hints, am I doing something wrong? Quote Link to comment

Are you only missing the hints, or are you only getting the name and coordinates? Quote Link to comment

+StarBrand Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Hook the unit up to your PC in mass storage mode - then you can grab the GPX file from any listing page and drop it into the [drive]:\garmin\gpx folder on the device. or Better yet - learn to use Pocket Queries to download up to 500 caches at a time in a GPX file with all the listing page details (minus photos). http://www.markwell.us/pq.htm Quote Link to comment

You can do it one cache at a time, from the cache page, or have a file of caches emailed to you via the Pocket Query page. Quote Link to comment
+Chrysalides Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I have a question that may help the OP : for those of you with Colorados and Oregons, if you use the "Send to GPS" to download to the GPSr, does the info come with description and hints? Quote Link to comment

Can't remember about hints as I normaly use a PQ but you do get the cache info and logs on the Oregon, but if the cache owner has used html then you get all the codeing showing up, which dosn't show up with a PQ - at least that is my experience.

It comes through with all that for me. It all comes through but is actually just as quick to save the GPX file right onto the unit in the right directory - you get 20 logs that way.

+busterbabes Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 GSAK GSAK GSAK.. create a query.. load it to GSAK then do a send to GPS (be sure yu have OR 300/400 as your selected destination GPS) Works perfect fer me Quote Link to comment
+Knight2000 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 I thought you were talking about the recent 1 year NRA free memberships! I was thinking- wrong category. The membership is totally worth it for the PQ's alone. Quote Link to comment
+Keiger Posted March 28, 2009 Author Share Posted March 28, 2009 Well I got it figured out. The Colorado has a GPX folder in it and when you save from the GPX eXchange file you need to save into the GPX folder in the Colorado unit. Now I get all the info. Now is there a way to up load more then one at a time? Thanks for the help. Keig Quote Link to comment

It even has some neat macros that move data to a from your GPSr. Quote Link to comment
