Transferring geocaches to Oregon 400t

[+wiseguys90]

Newbie. How do I transfer a multiple geocahes from geocaching.com to Garmin Oregon 400t all at once and get the description, hints and logs? don't want to do one at a time. I have tried a couple of ways and I seem to only be getting the coordinates and geocahe name when doing all at once. Must be doing something wrong. Seem to get everything when I do one at a time.

create a pocket query delivering you all the caches that you're interested in. run the PQ. grab the .zip file (either off the web page or from the email). unzip the file, giving you one or two .gpx files. connect the oregon to your PC. look on the oregon's storage, check the \garmin\gpx\ directory. drop the .gpx files from before in there. done.

That worked. Thanks for the quick response.

Nothing more to tell you, really . . . lol. As DFX said, just extract .gpx file from the PQ and copy it to the \gpx folder on your Garmin.

No you don't need GSAK to do the basic drop and go.

 

You don't need red wine and chocolate ice cream either but life is much better with them.
