+Sir_Hab Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Hello all: First off I use a Magellan 610 not a Garmin? I think I have making a list on Geocaching.com down, then I can change that list to a PQ, then I can get that PQ onto Gsak and last I getting that list onto my GPS I only can get the way points and names, I can't get the info that a premium member normally got when using that awesome sent to GPS button. So my question{s} how can a get the description, hints and lats 10 logs onto GPS - Thanks Quote Link to comment

Ask here: http://www.gsak.net/board/ Or you copy the unzipped PQ files manually into the appropriate folders on the GPSr, without any special software. One or the other.

Set a day to run the PQ and save your settings, then wait for the email telling you the PQ is ready. Return to the PQ page and download the ZIP file. You can the "drag" the zipfile to GSAK and you will have all info. Quote Link to comment

+Sir_Hab Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 Still can't get the HINT and DESCRIPTION to my GPS ????? Please help - Quote Link to comment
+StefandD Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 First things first. Do you see the hints and descriptions in GSAK? If you don't, it won't be visible in your GPSr as well. Did you read and follow the message by on4bam? You really have to run the PQ and import the zip file!! Quote Link to comment

If you "Refresh" these caches, GSAK will flesh them out with with all of the normal cache information. Limited to 6,000 per day, of course. Quote Link to comment
