Oregon 450 -- downloading caches directly to...


EarLady

Recommended Posts

I just got a Garmin Oregon 450 and I absolutely LOVE the paperless geocaching, and the ability to download caches directly to the gps with just a click or two. Does anyone know how to download a bunch of caches at once directly to the unit. I planning a trip and want to download about 250 caches and I don't want to click on each one separately. I can do a "check all" then download them as waypoints, but that requires going thru GSAK.

 

Pls. reply ASAP as I'm leaving tomorrow morning!

Hi Neighbor to the east (I'm in Buffalo)! I see you're a premium member.. you can create a pocket query, and then just upload the resulting .gpx file directly to your 450. I just got mine a couple months ago, and LOVE it too!

 

Yes, create a pocket query, very easy to do. And use that file and you can open it on either GSAK or EasyGPS (I use these two, there are probaly others). EasyGPS is a free easy quick download and is worth your time while GSAK is a lot more in-depth and involved but takes more time to use.

 

By the way, I was born in Buffalo!

Just thought I'd throw that out there! haha. :anibad:

You don't have to use GSAK or EasyGPS. Just unzip the pocket queries and put them in the garmin/gpx folder on either the SD card or the unit itself. I usually have 5 pocket queries with 1000 geocaches each loaded on mine at any given time for a total of 5,000!.

Thanks. That is easier than what I have done in the past. But why do I sometimes get the logs and sometimes I don't. I have a Garmin 400t.
