+ChadHahn Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I activated my premium membership and made a pocket query and was wondering if there was a way to download all the results at once to my GPS instead of one at a time. Thanks, Chad Quote Link to comment
+tsnyder88 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 what gps do you use i use a Garmin i just use the software that came with it Quote Link to comment
+kwcahart Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 If you have "easygps" loaded, just execute your zip file that the PQ put on your computer via email, and it will bring up "easygps", then just tell it to "send" to Gps, and it's a done deal. Of course your PC has to recognize your GPS, if it's a Garmin you need Garmin Communicator loaded also. Quote Link to comment
+ChadHahn Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 what gps do you use i use a Garmin i just use the software that came with it I have a Garmin Dakota and I can click on the download link and download the cache to the unit but I was wondering how I can download a bunch of caches at once.

+ChadHahn Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 what i do is download the gpx file from my pocket query then i use mapsource to open it then i use it to upload them to my gps I have a Mac computer. I downloaded the .gpx query file and opened it in Base Camp which I think is like Mapsource. All the caches showed up. I then clicked on send to GPS and a file shows up on the GPS when I open the gpx folder but when I go to the geocaching button on the Dakota it says there are no files. Chad Quote Link to comment
Motorcycle_Mama Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Download the GPX file to your computer and then just manually copy the file to the /garmin/gpx folder on the GPS unit (or the memory card). You don't need special software with that unit. Quote Link to comment
+ChadHahn Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 (edited) Download the GPX file to your computer and then just manually copy the file to the /garmin/gpx folder on the GPS unit (or the memory card). You don't need special software with that unit. I've done that as well and it doesn't show up. I should clarify that this is the .gpx file that comes from the pocket query. If I download an individual .gpx file, it shows up on my GPS. Chad Edited September 8, 2010 by ChadHahn Quote Link to comment
+ChadHahn Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 O.K. I finally figured it out. The downloaded folder had two .gpx files, a waypoint file and another one. I was just using one or another. Today I used both and there they are. All the caches. Thanks everyone. Chad Quote Link to comment
