+u1stafterme Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 My Colorado 400t is not being seen when I try to send a geocache to it from geocaching.com. When I go to the Garmin site and do a communication link test, it recognizes my unit and everything looks good. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing software and drivers, but nothing seems to work. I'm out of ideas and seriously bummed out. I used to have no problem downloading caches. The one thing different between successful downloading in the past and now is that I had to do a system restore to an earlier date. I don't know if that would effected it(?) Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you. Quote Link to comment

Then one time when I tried to upload I closely read the Popup window and it told me to click to re-identify myself to Garmin/Groundspeak. I clicked and everthing started working again. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Also, "Send to GPS" is intended to be a premium member feature. Quote Link to comment

I have the latest plug-in and as I said previously, when I do a link test on Garmin's site, everything looks good. Quote Link to comment
+u1stafterme Posted April 5, 2009 Author Share Posted April 5, 2009 Also, "Send to GPS" is intended to be a premium member feature. Has this always been the case? It worked in the past. Also, geocacing.com's site indicates areas for Premium Members are greyed out. In this case, the "Send to GPS" click point is not greyed out. Quote Link to comment
Motorcycle_Mama Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 There was a change with the latest site update. You need to be a Premium Member. Here's what OpinoNate posted in another thread (linked below). (OpinioNate @ Feb 27 2009, 05:24 PM) * Two things happening here. 1. Send to GPS is a Premium Member feature. It was never meant to be available to Basic Members but that was overlooked and supposed to have been restricted in the last release. Somehow the change was reversed but is scheduled to be fixed [again]. 2. Send to GPS is not currently working in IE6. This is also scheduled to be fixed. http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=215285 Quote Link to comment

Motorcycle_Mama Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Yes, how did you pay for your membership? Has the payment gone through? Some payment methods (I believe) require Groundspeak staff processing and the the staff doesn't work on the weekend, so you might have to wait until Monday for it to be processed.

+JPatton Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 What browser are you using? IE6 is known to have problems with the "Send to GPS". IE7 and Firefox work ok. Also, once your premium membership kicks in you won't need to that feature with a Colorado. You can just download the .gpx file directly from the cache page to your Colorado, no extra software needed. Quote Link to comment

I know that the Colorado uses .gpx files, but I don't understand what you mean by "directly from the cache page". Got any links? Quote Link to comment

Now it appears as a drive. Click the link for a GPX file on any listing page and save it in [drive]:\garmin\gpx folder on the colorado - unhook and go have fun! Quote Link to comment

Then can Someone tell GARMIN that they're not allowed to post Geocache information free for all... on their site. I know there's the agreement, but They should link people to the MUCH MORE Usable geocaching.com . The Steaks P.S. Everything works Perfectly... even on my Phone...
