+mother-clanger Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I'm having problems sending geocaches to my GPS. The box tells me it has been sent successfully but when I look on my GPS it's not there. Never happened before. Would be grateful if anyone could help me out, many thanks. Quote Link to comment
+coggins Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 What make/model satnav? If it's a Garmin, try searching by name and not location. Quote Link to comment
+mother-clanger Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 Thanks for the reply. It's a Garmin eTrex Venture HC. I've tried searching by name but no luck. Apparently, the Garmin Communicator Plugin is properly installed and up to date and is communicating properly. I'm wondering if there's something wrong on my set up page on the GPS....I've had a quick look but I'm not really sure what I'm looking for. Quote Link to comment

What is the total number if gpx files your GPSr holds, and how many do you have loaded presently? Is there a mass storage mode, where you can look at the files on the unit from your computer?

+Redwoods Mtn Biker Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I'm not sure this would matter, but have you tried it in a different browser? Quote Link to comment
+Unobtainium Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 This unit does not hold gpx files, it holds individual waypoints. The etrex series has a odd feature that if you order the waypoints by distance from your location it filters out waypoints over a certain distance, even if none are closer. Try listing the waypoints by name. Quote Link to comment
