Uploading to GPSmap 60CSx

[rockenit]

I've been on Geocaching.com for years and geocache on and off and always have to update or download something new to get the cache files to send to my GPS unit.  I use a laptop and again, I have to do something to get it to work but can't figure out what I need to do.  The site keeps sending me to a Garmin page with no directions on what I need to do.  Can I still geocache with this GPSmap 60CSx (meaning easily get the files loaded to the unit)? And if so, how do I get it to easily send the coordinates to the GPS.  I appreciate any insight.  Thanks!

There's a couple ways for a basic member to load caches to a hand held as shown in the Help Center: GPS.

 - IIRC by others, GPX files are the way to go.

Even if you were a premium member though, the "send to Garmin" would show your GPSr as outdated.  Most PMs swear by PQs.

I still load caches singly, and manually to my 60csx, as I did since starting the hobby.  Takes only a couple minutes.

Use a waypoint manager such as EasyGPS, Basecamp, or GSAK.  You can save GPX files on your laptop, load them into the waypoint manager, then use it to send caches to your 60Csx.
