+Wazat Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 (edited) Wonder if anyone else has noticed this. I only saw it now so you are never too long in the game to find out new things. If you have a Garmin GPS, connect it up and hit this link. I just got another 30 days added to my membership. It is for when you register a new Garmin GPS on Geocaching.com, I just registerd my Nuvi that I bought over a year ago. Wonder if I can register it with my eTrex too? mmm theoretically it should.... So all the unregistered users... here is your chance at been a premium member.... enjoy. By the way this genuine, I have an extra month added.... Edited March 13, 2010 by Wazat Quote Link to comment
MnCo Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 (edited) Thanks Wazat, for sharing this, I got my 30day extension A note to those using older devices like eTrex and or who already have an older version of the Garmin Communicator plugin installed. You will need to install the latest version. The first time I tried, it recognised my eTrex, but not the serial number. I could only activate the 30 day extension after I registered my eTrex on Gamin using the latest plugin. Edited March 13, 2010 by MnCo Quote Link to comment
+tomtwogates Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 i followed the links - registered my new device, but no extension? Seems no link to Geocaching. Quote Link to comment
MnCo Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 i followed the links - registered my new device, but no extension? Seems no link to Geocaching. You have to click the "Activate your 30 day trial" button on the GC page, after registration. You may also need the latest Garmin Communicator plugin. It didn't work for me the first time either, until I registered my product with the new plugin installed. I suspect it leaves some sort of "I've been registered" marker in the device which the GC script then reads for verification. Quote Link to comment
+tomtwogates Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Thanks MnCo - turned out I was missing the link - must be an age related thing! Quote Link to comment

+mr panda Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 This is a great tip! It only took me a second, and I got the extra month. It means a lot to a poor graduate student! Thanks a boodle. Quote Link to comment
