VP Software Magellan

[+The Cache Checkers]

Hi all. I am so bummed right now. I decided not to join up with a group of caching friends because I want to find the hides, too, not just follow them to GZ and look. I sent my GPS in to get it worked on and am sooo impatient for it's return!

 

While waiting, I decided to get cache info ready in Vantage Pro so I can transfer it to my handheld and go, go, GO!

 

Since the last time I used the software, I've gotten a new computer and now I can't find the darn CD! Is it possible there's a download out there, or is there another way to get the cache info from GC.com to my GPS? Even though Magellan customer service is less than desireable, my Triton 500 is awesome and very user friendly.

There is also new software from Magellan called Magellan Communicator. With that you can send caches right to you triton from the cache page. It's a free download from the website. To use though, you need to close VP

Have you run the Communicator program yet? I have a Triton 500 as well. Great unit. I would like to know more about the communicator program.

Yes I have. That's how I found out I had to close VP first. Otherwise it freezes my browser. It works on all 3 major browsers(IE, FF and Chrome).

Two warnings about Magellan Communicator :

 

1--If the Geocache you upload has an Additional Waypoint, the unit will create an internal error and shut down. (the additional waypoint icon is a Tree image, and the triton can't decipher that image, causes an error.)

 

2--If you upload a geocache into the Triton that's already in there, it will upload a duplicate of the same cache, will confuse the Triton and create an error and shutdown.

 

(Ask me how I know....)
