+Sierrawildflower & GeoHiker Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I have had no problem creating pocket queries, but I now need to get the gpx. files to the gpsr. It seems that there is little instruction on Geocaching.com regarding this. How do I transfer the results of my pocket queries to my gpsr. using a Mac? I have found information in this forum for PC, but not Mac. If I have missed a previous post, feel free to post the link, no need to waste time explaining something a second time. Thank you for your help. Quote Link to comment

+RonFisk Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Not that it matters, but I am using an Gramin Oregon series. It's really quite easy. Just unstuff the PQ and drag it into the GPX folder. That's all there is to it. Quote Link to comment
+sduck Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Yes it does matter that you use an oregon - all gps's are different in how they load gpx files. You happen to have one of the easier to use ones in this regard. Find answers here - http://garminoregon.wikispaces.com/ Unzip the files you get from geocaching.com, which will result in 2 *.gpx files. Drag these to the /garmin/gpx/ folder on your oregon. You could use maccaching for some gpx management if you're were so inclined, but might get as good results by just finessing the settings in your pocket query generation pages. Quote Link to comment
+Sierrawildflower & GeoHiker Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 (edited) Thank you everyone for the help, drag and drop works great! Unbelievable how easy this is. Fantastic. Will also look at maccaching. Edited February 7, 2010 by Sierrawildflower & GeoHiker Quote Link to comment
