PQ from PC to Garmin

[+jasmen04]

I have done this once in the past but now I have forgotten. I have a Garmin 450 and 650. I have

already created the PQ and it well sent to me tomorrow in a Zip file. Can someone point me in the

right direction. Like some instructions for this, I will write it down this time.

Thanks Folks

Broad strokes:

Plug in GPS.

Download the file somewhere convenient.

Open/Extract the file with program of your choice.

Copy both GPX files from the zip file into the GPX folder on the GPS.

 

More detailed instructions would require us knowing what OS you're using and if you're using a non-default program to open zip files.

Just open the Garmin to view files like any thumbdrive. Open the "Garmin" folder. Open the "GPX" folder. Copy your extracted gpx files to that folder.

 

Also, you might consider looking through some of our educational stuff at GeocacheAlaska. We've done presentations on PQ's, GSAK, and GPS operations that might be helpful.
