+camnpete Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Hi, I've just purchased a Garmin 62S and would like to learn how to download cache information from my iMac to that GPSr so that I can truly do paperless caching. I'm sure this issue has been addressed in the past, but I can't find it and I'm hoping that someone can steer me in the right direction. THANKS. Camnpete Quote Link to comment

You can get more elaborate and open these pocket queries into GSAK, which you can use to do seemingly unlimited things, then transfer the pocket query to your gps. Quote Link to comment

Camnpete when i doubt remember to look through the Knowledge Books lots of helpful information in there, and for more specific questions the forums could help Creating Your First Pocket Query Edited August 11, 2011 by t4e Quote Link to comment
+camnpete Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 Hi, You replied to my question earlier this month and I'm just getting around to trying to download a pocket query to my 62s. I've successfully run the PQ and installed WinZip. But where do I go from there? How do I communicate to WinZip the name of the PQ that I want to unzip? Once that's done, how do I move the the PQ data from my computer to my 62s? I have the usb cable but can't figure out how to do the 'instructions'. Thanks for your help.

+jojamime Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 EasyGPS (Freeware) is an easy (windows bases) programme witch can send all (or selected) caches with one button click to your device. Quote Link to comment

Once that's done, how do I move the the PQ data from my computer to my 62s? I have the usb cable but can't figure out how to do the 'instructions'. Simplest approach to both ... Double click the PQ file. If you've successfully installed WinZip, the *.zip extension on the PQ files will cause the application to run. Drag and drop the contents of your PQ (like two *.gpx files) to your desktop. Make sure your 62 is plugged in. Give Windows a sec to discover it. Open My Computer. Your 62 will be there as "Garmin", looking ever so much like a hard drive. Navigate to the Garmin/GPX folder inside your 62. Drag and drop those two *.gpx files there. Done. Quote Link to comment
