Send Unpublished cache to my GPSr?

[+Copaman]

It used to be that I would generate the cache page, and then just before publication, I would create a GPX file to put on my GPSr, and then I would go out and try to find it using the GPX file to make sure I hadn't messed up the coordinates and to get a good feel to make sure all was good.

 

For a few months now, that hasn't been working, but the "Send to my GPS" was an alternative. Now that is not working either.

 

Any idea of how to do this? Yes, I could just create a way point, but I always liked having the whole GPX file (with description, hint, etc) to make sure all of it was good.

 

Thanks in advance.

I don't recall that facility ever being offered, but I might be wrong? I know every time I've tried in the last few years, it's not worked.

 

There's a good reason why they wouldn't let you do that, but I'll leave that out of the discussion for now.

 

You could make a GPX? Takes only a minute or so with GSAK.

Or read the coords on the webpage and put them manually into the gps.

You're the second person to mention that they had been able to "send to gps" an unpublished listing.

Apparently true for some for a time, but it was a bug, not a site feature.

 

To test your coords, per Walts Hunting, load them manually into your gps unit.
