Hello Everyone,

 

Please help us find some instructions for a Magellan Explorist GC.

Just bought it and can't figure how to put on the pocket query we created.

 

Thank you in advance for any direction.

Just drag and drop the PQ into the Geocaching folder on the unit.

You can also use Vantage Point a software program from Magellan,d/l the queries into the VP and transfer them from there..

Drag and drop worked great for me. I had tried using VP. When I plugged in the GC and clicked on the GPS button, VP recognized the GPSr but the download arrow above remained dimmed. I couldn't get a download to work with GSAK either. I don't know that I would have figured out how to download the PQs without this forum.

If it is under 500 queries you will recieve the PQ in an e-mail.

1: Make sure your Mag GC is conected to your PC

2: Click on the zip file and click open

3: When Winzip or Winrar appears click on export

4: Export Waypoint files to waypoints and the Geocache file to geocache. You can tell which is which by either the size of the file ( waypoint is smaller ) or the fact that the geocache file is a GPX and the waypoint file is a wpts.gpx

That is all I do.

If it is over 500 queries you have to go to PQ and then downloaded PQ and click on it and do the same as the email version.

 

Hope that helps. If you have any dificulty understanding please PM me and I will run through it with you

 

Regards

Ian
