+EnduraExpert Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 having issues with downloading If you are running a PQ (Pocket Query) you will need to limit the number of caches to 500. We are currently working on a fix to the 500 cache limit. Then download and save your PQ to your computer. Plug your Endura into your computer, drap and drop the PQ .GPX file into the GPX folder on your Endura drive. Unplug and start geocaching. Please let me know if you have any other questions or issues. Quote Link to comment

Please let me know if you have any other questions or issues. There is a GSAK macro that will take a larger file and break it up into smaller fillies of 500 each. I successfully combine several PQs, totaling 3,500 caches, then run them through the GSAK macro and it gives me a bunch of 500 cache files to drag into the Endura. Quote Link to comment

I had a similar problem when i got mine out of the box 10 days ago. Here is what I found and I hope this helps. When you install the Garmin software that allows you to transfer the gpx file to your handheld , it goes into a folder within the handheld that is called garmin. Since you do not have a garmin, you need to go into the garmin folder, then into the gpx folder, and copy the gpx file. Once you have copied it, back you way out to the opening folder and click on the folder simply labled Gpx. Paste the Gpx file in this folder and voila! all works now. Feel free to email me if you do not understand my explanation and i will try to do an actual step by step walk thru for you. Quote Link to comment
+B-NER Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I am new at geocaching and this is my first post on the forum. I hope this is the right place to place this question. I have been trying to figure out how to download to the Lowrance Out and Back for hours, have been looking through the forums, and am not sure what else to do. I keep thinking I SHOULD be able to figure this out but the reassurance is not bringing any answers The manual says plug and in and an icon will show up. It seems like I should be able to drag the gpx file to the Endura icon. NO icon is showing up. I've tried a Mac and PC and am striking out! I leave for vacation tomorrow and want to include geocaching. I did a pocket query but can't get it to the unit. Do I need software or should the be able to happen right from geocaching.com to the handheld?

+EnduraExpert Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 OK boblanza, Lets get this figured out for you. You have run a PQ (POcket Query), now you need to unzip the PQ and then plug your Endura into either your PC or MAC. When the Endura is plugged in it will show up as a Hard Drive on your system. If you are using your PC open up Windows Explorer and you will see an Endura drive. Open that drive and you will see a GPX folder, drag and drop the unzipped GPX (not the waypoints file) file from the PQ into this folder. Unplug your Endura and it will reboot & then process the GPX file. Now you should be able to go Geocaching. If you are still having problems, send me a PM with your phone number and I will give you a call and we will get this resolved before you leave for your trip.

+B-NER Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 ok, got the pocket query to the GPS. Wasn't able to make it happen on the Mac but I can deal with the PC for now. I used Easy GPS.
