+ICHTHYS Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 GC1XN1E will not Send to GPS using a DeLorme PN-40. I've tried it several times and nothing happens. Using FF 3.5 Link to comment
+frinklabs Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Does that GPSr support having the description sent to it? If so, then the issue might be the send applet barfing on the single quote/apostrophe that is in that cache's description. To confirm, try sending GC2242Y - it also has the single quote character in the description. I've seen that happen with single or double quotes in the title but not the body. If this is the issue, I'd try suppressing the sending of the description (if possible). Link to comment

If this is the issue, I'd try suppressing the sending of the description (if possible). I'm confused. Are you talking about this little character of the OP's example between the I and m re: I'm? AKA an apostrophe? Or is there some rogue single quote in the description that I have missed? Being the curious type, I'd really like to see the resolution of this issue should it be discovered. Thanks. I'm assuming that every other waypoint that the OP has loaded has worked just fine, if so, then this one is is truly strange. Edited December 20, 2009 by Team Cotati Link to comment
+ICHTHYS Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 I sent 17 local caches to my PN-40 without issue. But this one will not. The box opens but nothing happens. The close and help buttons also do nothing and I have to X the box out to get it to close. Link to comment

+dakboy Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 There are "known issues" with Send To GPS for certain caches due to something in their descriptions. Last I heard, Groundspeak was still trying to work out the problem. Link to comment
K9 Crew Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 There are "known issues" with Send To GPS for certain caches due to something in their descriptions. Last I heard, Groundspeak was still trying to work out the problem. Just had 18 new caches in my area and not a one of them will load using the Delorme Plugin. Acts the same as described in the previous posts. Had three other new ones, the load fine. Going to be a handload to do these I guess. willy Link to comment
+cj'smomanddad Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I'm glad I did a quick search because I was just going to post the same question. I am totally new to geocaching (found my first 2 yesterday ) and was trying to load some more onto my PN-40. Got a whole bunch to load, but there were a few that, once the box opened, nothing else happened. I had to use the X button to close the box. Someone mentioned something about "handloading" caches (I think that's what they said); is that a way to get the info into the GPSr, and if so how do you do that? Thanks. Link to comment

They mean manually entering the coordinates into the unit. And that is usually done by Marking a location (there should be a button for that on the unit) and then editing that location.
