+Southern Lights Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I just got myself a Magellan Explorist GC which is brilliant for paperless geocaching and sending caches to the GPS is seriously easy with the click of a button, however, I was wondering if anyone's found a way to send a number of caches to their GPS at the same time. At the moment, I have to send each cache to my GPS individually and it would be a big time saver if I could, for example select a number at a time and send them all at once or something...

+Mick-n-Nick Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Some of the more experienced cachers can probably help you more, but the only way I know of is to request a pocket query and then either send them all or pick and choose through your software. Quote Link to comment

Yes I do that so.As Premium Member you can generate "Pocket Queries" (.gpx-Files) wich you can receive by email oder download from your geocachin.com-account and simply drag and drop onto your eXploris GC (into folder "Geocaches"). Last weekend I loaded more than 8000 caches into my eXplorist GC within some minutes (after the pocket queries where generated by geocaching.com) Edited May 28, 2010 by bonstetten Quote Link to comment

There are 3 ways to send geocaches to your GPS that I know of. 1. Send each one individually (the way you've been doing it) 2. Send up to 20 at a time. Goto your geocaching.com/my page, then goto Search Options. Select a search option, then on the next page, scroll to the bottom, select "Check all", then download waypoints. 3. Create a PQ to download 500 geocaches at a time. Geocaching PQ Edited May 28, 2010 by Tahoe Skier5000 Quote Link to comment

Cache Mission Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I have a question with regards to my eXplorists as well. How do I change the coordinates? I'm thinking of puzzle caches or multi-caches. I'd love to upload the puzzle cache, solve it, and update the coordinates. That way I have all the hints and logs, but with the new coordinates. Quote Link to comment
