I use a Garmin Etrex H GPS Kind regards Mel Not very techy myself but I do it this way, sure others can offer more advice. Open cache page, click on "GPX Exchange File" or "LOC FILE" and save to "My Documents". You can change the name here from GC???? to Church Mirco 565 for example. Open EasyGPS and then click on the "open" tab. Select the Cache File you want from the list and click open. In EASYGPS then click the "send to GPS" tab at the top of the page. Cache is then sent to the GPS. You can also set up a pocket query if you are a premium member, open the file sent to you via email in EASYGPS and then send the co ords to your GPS, much quicker. You can send about 500 caches in just a few minutes. Using the Etrex H basic, (Yellow One) it does not use the full cache name, GC???? so it can overwrite some co ords if you are downloading lots of caches so be warned. I.e. GCAHHEE will be overwritten by GCAHHE1. Hope this makes a bit of sense. Yorkie30. Edited July 8, 2009 by Yorkie30 Quote Link to comment
