Hi,

im a newbie to this.

At the Moment im downloading every single Cache to my Garmin Etrex touch 25. Is there a way to download multiple Caches in one go ?

 

As a Premium Member, you can use Pocket Queries.

 

I like to make bookmark lists, which you can then download using a PQ.

Newbie GPSr owner ... Garmin ETREX 10.

Somehow i am missing a step.

I created a bookmark list and know how to create a PQ from it. I have received the PQ lists in email.

How do these lists of caches get on the Garmin?

 

Sorry if i am being dense...

 

Follow the download link in the email. Download the zipped PQ. Unzip the PQ and copy the unzipped gpx files onto your GPSr. The GPSr has to be in Mass Storage Mode (ie: it should be mounted as a drive).

The target location is: [Garmin Drive]/Garmin/GPX/*.*

Where *.* is representing your GPX files.

Unfortunately, I've attempted to do a pocket query and almost threw my GPS against a wall as it does not work. I've been working at it for about 8 hours now and can only do them 1 by 1. I've removed the pre-loaded caches and slowly starting to add the ones I want to find.

Pocket Queries do work and you can do them. However there are certain pitfalls that can cause them to return zero results. Is this the problem you are having? If you have been following the instructions in the links, describe the steps you have taken and the results you have received and someone will get you on the right path.
