+kn004 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 is there anyway to send multiple cashes to a gps at the same time instead of one at a time? Quote Link to comment
+mdplayers Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Since you are a Premium Member, check out Pocket Queries. That's the way to send multiple caches to your GPSr. Quote Link to comment
+kn004 Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 it tries to send to the computer instead of gps. any ideas to what i might be doing wrong?? Quote Link to comment
+JohnCNA Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 You're not doing anything wrong. You download it to your computer and from there copy it to your GPS. Quote Link to comment
+Chief301 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) Here are the directions for generating a Pocket Query: http://support.Groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=118 When you generate a Pocket Query, the results are saved as a special type of file called a GPX file. If the query results in 500 caches or less, the resulting GPX file will be e-mailed to you. If it's between 500 and 1,000 caches you can download the resulting file from the Pocket Queries section under your profile. When you recieve the GPX file, either by email or downloaded directly from the site, I suggest creating a folder on your computer, somewhere where you can easily find it, just for your GPX downloads. Save the GPX file to this folder. I also recommend renaming the file to something you'll be able to easily identify....maybe the date generated or anything else that you'll recognize. Now, how to get the GPX file to your device may vary a bit from one device to another. What brand and model of GPS are you using? I'm only familiar with Garmins. On my Garmin Oregon 550, when I plug it in to the computer, the computer sees it as an additional drive. Open that drive and just drag and drop the GPX file to the device. Done. The process may be a little different with a different brand, so if you let us know what brand/model you have we can probably help you out a little better.

+Barb&Rick Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Sorry to interfere with your question but I have the same problem getting the .gpx to my Garmin eTrex 20. My problem is that I am using a Mac. I can open the device but do not know where to transfer the files to. I see a GPX folder and have tried putting them in there but when I start up the GPS and use maps to test whether they are in there or not I do not see them. Thanks for any help you can give.

+Graculus Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 On my resource site I've written a number of 'how to' documents (Adobe PDF) which explain doing a PQ and transferring it to your GPS. It assumes you are using Windows but all you are doing is transferring files from the PC to the GPS so the process is the same with a MAC. http://www.follow-the-arrow.co.uk/resources/paperless.html - docs at the bottom of the page.
