Downloading from a Surface

[+dahollander]

How can I use my surface to download geocache.

What's a surface? If it runs android, you can download one of many geocaching apps, just like you do on your phone.

Surface is the Microsoft Tablet.

 

Is it the Surface Pro which runs Windows or the older Surface's that run Windows RT?

 

If it is one that runs Windows then it is no different than a PC machine. The Windows RT also has the ability to hookup by USB and then just drag and drop.

I have a Surface 2 as well. Can you explain this a little better? Are you using an app, or Geocaching.com?

If it has windows it's no different then a regular laptop as long as you have it on the desktop view. I have a Windows tablet and on the desktop view I loaded even GSAK. I don't think Surface makes a difference.
