+we-spy Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I am trying to synch my Magellan Explorist GC to Geocaching.com web site caches but they will not download. Has anything changed. I know using the explorist is cumbersome but I don't use a smart phone online. I can see all the caches, when I try to download to the GC nothing happens. I have loaded latest software updates, I think. Peter Quote Link to comment
+niraD Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I have an eXplorist 310, which is very similar to the eXplorist GC. The only way I transfer cache data to the eXplorist is with Pocket Queries. I connect the eXplorist to the USB cable, copy the GPX files from the PQ to the eXplorist, and then disconnect the eXplorist from the USB cable. For more info on PQs, see Markwell's FAQ: http://www.markwell.us/pq.htm Quote Link to comment
+palmetto Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) Edited to add: Just looked up your device, it states, "the eXplorist GC has seamless connection to geocaching.com". So you ought to be able to do load at least individual caches. they also mention pocket queries, seems like it ought to work...Sorry, I've got nothing really. Check the documentation? All of my original post was about older eXplorist model and irrelevant. Edited August 18, 2016 by palmetto Quote Link to comment
+auzzy_mate Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I have just purchased a GC and did have trouble at first, but just make sure the Magellan Communicator is up-to-date. auzzy_mate Quote Link to comment
