Delorme GPS Plugin

[+dadidida]

I have a PN-60w SE GPS. I downloaded the latest version of Delorme GPS Plugin and upon trying to install, I am told that I need to close the Chrome browser.

 

I don't have Chrome installed on my computer and can't move past this point.

 

I did install Chrome and then deleted it, still run into the warning that I need to close the Chrome browser.

 

Help....

I was wondering if you ever found a solution to this problem. I have a PN-40 that I am now using to get into geocaching and have the exact same issue trying to install the plugin from the Delorme (now Garmin) site.

 

Thank you.

I'm having the same issues.

none of the communicator plugins are going to work anymore. They're built on a platform called NPAPI which is now considered to be a security risk. Support for all NPAPI plugins has been removed from the latest updates of all of the browsers. There are some work around with Internet Explorer, but it's really not worth it at this point. There are tons of posts on this topic if you want to search for more reading.

The long story short - you'll have to install the gpx files manually, saving them directly to your device. Unfortunately, I'm not a DeLorme user so I don't know the precise file path to place the files, but there will be someone else in the forums that will. Alternatively, you can use a geocache manager such as GSAK (windows) or iCaching (mac) to do this as well.
