+davrol Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Hi, We have an etrex 10 garmin and we are have tried and tried to download waypoints from our pc but with no luck, We have only been Geocaching since February, can anybody please help? Quote Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 We're gonna need more to go on: How are you sending waypoints? Is it using the "send to GPS" button on the cache page? Do you see any errors, or other messages? If so what are they? Which browser are you using, and if it's Internet Explorer which version? Have you plugged the GPS into the PC with a USB cable? (please don't be offended if you think this is obvious as some people have tried to do it wirelessly before now). Quote Link to comment
+FYI_Geocaching Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I've come across an issue with downloading when using Chrome to my Garmin. I'm told that the Garmin Communicator Plugin is not detected, and elsewhere I discovered, by accident, that this is apparently not supported by Chrome any more. The only way I could see of downloading individual cache details to my Garmin was therefore to use another browser (in my case IE). I can still upload Pocket Queries through GSAK Excuse me if some of the above terminology is not totally accurate, as this is right at the edge of my comfort zone, but you'll hopefully get my drift. Maybe this is the issue that the OP has encountered? Quote Link to comment

Hello, Thanks for answering us, I am not offended at all but i have used the USB cable and managed to bring up some waypoints from the Garmin to the PC but when i try to send the to the Garmin i get a message saying i need a download but when i try nothing happens, i have been using Chrome but someone on here said maybe i need to use a different search engine, Quote Link to comment

Firefox seems not to have any problems... Quote Link to comment
