Paperless geocaching

[+Southern Lights]

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...

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.

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)

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

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.
