Hi,

 

I bought two Magellan explorer GPS devices and we have been unable to download cache coordinates from my Mac. We have installed everything required. What am I doing wrong?

How are you attempting to download cache coordinates to your Magellan GPSr?

With a Garmin and a MAC you can just drag and drop the caches into the folder if you've got the cable hooked up right.

I've never used a magellan, but I would imagine it would be the same.

Perhaps you should read the instructions that came with your device. If you don't have it, you can get it on Magellan's website.

 

To say "...I would imagine it would be the same" is, I suspect, unreasonable.

Hello,

I have my old PC and solely use it for GSAK and downloading all my PQs, but that's another story...

I mainly use my MAC AIR and had the same problem when I got it, too. I'd start up my Google Chrome browser. Then I'd plug in my Garmin and it said that it recognized it and that it wrote it on there, but it was no where to be found...

Then for the heck of it opened up firefox, it did the same thing.

 

Then I opened up Safari and it works. Try that. It worked for me and my Garmin....

 

I hope that it works for you!

Hi, Thank you very much for the advice. We figured it out and were able to download several caches and go out today for the first time. We found six caches!

 

Thanks much!
