+D3V1N Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Hello I am having a problem downloading caches to my GPS I am able to download the caches using the magellan communicator and IE 11 in compatability mode. I had downloaded a few but they don't appear on the map or when I search for nearby GeoCaches. The files were there on the device as .gpx files in the geocaches folder but i have reconnected the device now and they have dissapeared. Any ideas? Thanks Quote Link to comment
+Gitchee-Gummee Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) Are you using "Send to GPS" or Pocket Queries? It sounds like "Send to GPS" if you have just downloaded a few. With PQ's you needn't use the Communicator (some have said that it doesn't work any more). Run PQ > Download that data > Drag 'n Drop the file(s) into the appropriate file in the unit > Properly "eject" the unit from the computer > Go caching. Very good tutorial here: http://www.follow-the-arrow.co.uk/resources/default.shtml . Just over cursor over "Paperless Caching" in the red banner, click on bottom selection, then choose the Magellan directions (second compass icon). It tells you how to run a Pocket Query and how to load it to the unit. Edited February 7, 2014 by Gitchee-Gummee Quote Link to comment

I did manage to download the caches individually after a software update but will try the above since its painful adding them one by one! Quote Link to comment
+Card Shark78 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 All my PQ's I download to my eXplorist 110 I did what D3V1N did except I had to unzip them. I used a free program called jzip. www.jzip.com you unzip it from there and Extract the file to the proper unit. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment
+EScout Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Use VantagePoint from Magellan. It will retrieve your PQs and load them into your 110. Quote Link to comment
