+Cynthia08180 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 There we go again.. someone else with a problem that you see everywhere on the forum already. We are new to Geocaching. Bought today a Magellan 610 and we are premium member of the Geocaching site. I did want to put some coordinates into my new GPS by: send to GPS (found a great one on the map and we would love to try out!) After I click on: Send to GPS .... I get a screen with: Magellan Communicator not found. Please click here to install the latest PC version. Please click here to install the latest MAC version. Click here to learn more about the Magellan Communicator plug-in for PC. Click here to learn more about the Magellan Communicator plug-in for MAC. So tried to install the latest PC version of the Magellan Communicator. And yes, it shows up on my computer under the software. But whatever I do... Everytime I click on: Send to GPS... I get this screen again and again... I just can NOT get the coordinates into the GPS! Yes, the GPS is connected! Yes, premium member! I do use Google Chrome. And did try.. IE and Firefox also already... NOTHING seems to work! Please help? (And please not in to difficult English please as this is not my first language) Quote Link to comment
+Lil Devil Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Did you reboot your browser and/or computer after installing the plug-in? Quote Link to comment
+Mn-treker Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 These plugins usually only work with Internet Explorer or Firefox. In Internet explorer go to tools on the menu bar. scroll down to manage add-ons. Make sure that your send to add on is enabled. Then when you go to the geocaching website you must use IE or firefox as your brouser to send caches to your GPS unit. Good luck. quote name='Cynthia08180' timestamp='1388279874' post='5334470'] There we go again.. someone else with a problem that you see everywhere on the forum already. We are new to Geocaching.

+T.D.M.22 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 There we go again.. someone else with a problem that you see everywhere on the forum already. Well you said it yourself-other people here are having the same problem. Did you try reading those threads? You won't get any new advice here... Quote Link to comment
+Cynthia08180 Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 @ Lil Devil: Thanks for your answer and did do what you said.. but no result @ Mn-treker: Thanks too for your answer. I did do what you told me. And yes, the add on is enabled. Am now on the site with Internet Explorer but it still doesn't work. I have now, when I click on: Send to GPS, the screen again of the download and now can I not any longer make the switch to Magellan. The screen is stuck on DeLorme. @ T.D.M.22: yes, of course I did..

+msrubble Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Are you using Internet Explorer 11? Sounds like it. This is the problem that a lot of other people are having. Add geocaching.com in Compatibility View settings (under Tools). Then give it another try. Quote Link to comment
