Downloading geocaches onto GPS (Nuvi 550)

[+woody437]

Trying to figure out how to put a lot of geocaches onto our GPS. ie, All NB, All PEI etc. Not sure if this is possible.

Make use of Pocket Queries. Here is a great tutorial - http://www.markwell.us/pq.htm

 

Then unzip the PQ and place the GPS file into the [drive]:\garmin\GPX folder on your unit while it is hooked up via USB.

i have a nuvi 500... i also have a memorycard in it.. when i plug it into the computer, i get 2 drive letters.. one is the gps and the other is the memory card.

 

just to keep things simple, i put all my pocket queries on the sd card. the maximum number of caches is somewhere around 2500 caches regardless of the number of pocket queries.

 

if you put too many caches on it, you'll get a message stating just that.

 

drop all your .gpx files in the gpx directory... if the directory does not exist.. just create them the same way as they are on the gps..
