+Wolf_Pack_ Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I have just bought a Garmin Montana 610 for geocaching. I'm kind of new to GPS technology. Is there anyway for me to add my found caches so I do not have to manually do it within the app? I've looked around and found some tutorials and programs. But none of them answer the question directly. I have found 169 caches and putting those in manually would be a difficult. Thanks everyone. Quote Link to comment

Not being rude, but why do you want to put your found caches on the GPSr? Quote Link to comment
+Great Scott! Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Run your MY FINDS pocket query. Download the gpx file and add it to the Garmin/GPX folder on your device. https://www.geocaching.com/pocket/default.aspx Click the ADD TO QUEUE button near the bottom of the page Quote Link to comment

Not being rude, but why do you want to put your found caches on the GPSr? Not sure the OP's reasoning, but I load mine on via GSAK as POIs. That way, when I am out in the field placing a cache, I can select previously found caches to check proximity (I live in a very cache dense area). Quote Link to comment
+Mineral2 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 The problem with the "My Finds" pocket query is that it includes finds that are archived. If you need your found caches as reference when placing a new geocache, I suggest either including them in your local PQs or creating a new PQ that includes only caches you've found. This will ensure that you only get currently active caches. (assuming this is the intent) Quote Link to comment

For this purpose I have a PQ of all local (definition of "local" may vary) caches; this would then include all currently active caches I have found, have not found, and have placed.
