Download geocaches to GPS

[+ulfi09]

Is it possible to download multiple geacaches (all within a certain radius for example) simultaniously to the GPS via usb?

Sure. Just become a Premium Member of Geocaching.com and get Pocket Queries emailed to you.

Absolutely.. Highly recommend you become a premium member of geocaching.com and they have what is known as Pocket Queries. I have several GeoSnippits tutorial videos showing how to load them from beginning to end or there are other areas on the internet.

as a non-paying member you can only get 10 (?) at a time per search in a .LOC file, which only has limited information about the caches

Which GPS receiver?

 

In general, Pocket Queries with a premium membership are the answer, but the exact transfer method once you've executed a PQ and received the results depends on your GPS unit.

As a premium member I use EasyGPS (free) software to transfer my pocket queries to my Garmin 60CSx. You can download 500 caches at a time.

I also need help! I have a Magellan eXplorist 500. I just became a premium member, but still can't get anything to download to this thing! I'm getting soooooooooooo frustrated. Can anyone help me?

I am moving this thread from the Geocaching Topics forum to the GPS and Technology forum.

Actually there is a way for a non-premium member to load several geocaches at once. Rather than explain it here, go to the top of the forum and look at the FAQ. Go to Airmappers Lowrance page and read the instructions how to combine files into one big file using FREE software. (Geocaching for non-premium members). To a point, it works even if you do not have a Lowrance GPS. The final details of connecting your GPS depends on the brand you have. I am sure there is a FAQ for that too.

 

Good Luck

There is a way to send multiple caches to a GPS without PQ's if you're using Firefox by using GC Tour.

Your blog is blocked from where I am now (anything not categorized the filters is blocked by default), but it sounds to me like this is describing a form of web scraper, which violates Groundspeak's TOU.

How much additional cache information is provided with the Premium Membership? I know now without it you only get cache number, name, who placed it, and coords.
