Do a search on this forum for "communicator plugin" and all will be clear.

Internet explorer and Firefox still will work with the send to GPS function.

The send to GPS is not a Groundspeak issue. It is an issue with the GPS manufacturer and the web browsers. Chrome stopped allowing add on's.

Firefox and IE 11 still do. I use a Delorme PN60. My windows 7 laptop

Just died. So I went and bought a new laptop computer with Windows 10.

The new browser from Microsoft, Edge (the new browser)also will not allow add on's.

But I can run Firefox and IE 11 and still use the send to function.

You may also need to make sure that the USB port is turned on.

I have never had that problem, but for some reason some people

Are having it. For some reason that port is getting turned off.
