site not downloading to PN-40

[+lakeloon]

For some reason, even tho I have upgraded my plugin, I am unable to download caches directly to my Delorme PN-40. Please help! I see other references to issues using Delorme GPS's and hope all of them can be resolved at once. Any input?

Although not stated, I am guessing that you are trying to use Cache Register as a loading widget, yes?

 

If so... it does not work with the website any more. Period. Delorme has announced that it will not be upgraded. They are preparing Topo 10 for a spring release that will resolve that problem.

 

Your solution is to load as such:

1] Download PQ;

2] unzipped the zipped file (if it is indeed zipped);

3] plug in and turn on the '40;

4] through your computer, open the '40 (or the SD card if you have one) as an auxiliary drive unit;

5] drag 'n drop those two GPX files (the larger is cache data, the smaller is waypoint data) to your unit or SD card within the unit;

6] turn off the '40 and dismount it from the computer;

7] go caching....

Make sure the firmware in your PN-40 is up to date. A couple of years ago, Delorme completely changed the way caches are saved on the unit and the older firmware is not compatible with the new plugin. http://support.delorme.com/questions.php?questionid=169

If using the Send to GPS feature on the website make sure you have a waypoint file open before clicking on Send to GPS. This can be a new or existing file.
