+Carter_Clan Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I just got a new laptop with Windows 7 and I am unable to use "send to gps" to download my caches. I am using Firefox as the browser and have installed the plugin several times. The first time I try to send to gps it will give me a check mark for the first two things and then on the third it gives me the red circle saying that the device timed out. Then if I try again it wont even be able to connect to the device at all. I am using a Delome PN-40. I just tried downloading caches on my old Windows Vista desktop and it worked fine so obviously it is not a problem with the device. Any suggestions on what to do here? Part of the reason for getting the laptop was for more portability in geocaching... Quote Link to comment
+DazeDnFamily Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Since you're paying a fee to be a PM, get your money's worth. Use PQ's, and you should have no problems. Later! Quote Link to comment

I hate using PQ's, seems like more work to do just one simple task. I'd rather be able to just look at a map of the area I'm going to and pick the caches I want to get instead of some vague set of commands that end up giving me a whole bunch of caches that I have no interest in, plus running a PQ takes a whole ton more work than just clicking the simple "send to gps" Quote Link to comment
