+kunarion Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Does it connect by USB cable? At least for GPX cache files, save them to the Garmin/GPX folder. Quote Link to comment

But it's out-of-date. You may have to stop using it at some point and learn something else entirely new. Go figure. I just download a GPX or Pocket Query and it arrives in "Downloads" on my PC. From there it's just a matter of copy-paste (or click-drag) into the GPS. In the case of a Pocket Query, it's unzipped first. Since you must unzip a Pocket Query, you may opt to first place any GPX file into a folder on your PC (such as the default "Downloads", then unzip as the case may be, then copy-paste into Garmin/GPX. You can save files directly by using "Save As" which is available when you select a file to download. But this is all just ordinary Windows stuff. It's not limited to Geocaching.com.

But there's a whole help center article on it, so I didn't go over all of that. I can't stress it enough (really, I tried!) that if the Help Center is too terse to use, be sure to contact Geocaching.com and do not let up until they fix that! If you can't figure out how to get a Pocket Query onto your computer, there ya go! Edited September 7, 2018 by kunarion Quote Link to comment

Download the PQ from your PQ page or with the help of the link in the confirmation email. I guess you've only created a PQ but didn't run it . A PQ has to run at least once to be ready for download.

+walleroos Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 (edited) Geocaching website-have the answer to this problem. You need to create a "MY LIST" file and then send to your GPS. I had the same problem downloading to my Garmin Etrex 30.Assuming you have not done so- In simplistic terms-Download Garmin Express latest build. Then find a cache and "ADD TO LIST". This should send you to CREATE A "NAMED LIST". Once you have downloaded all your required caches-GO to your "MY LIST" , there you will see your caches. At the end of the LINE you will see (...) Click on that, follow the signs for SEND TO GARMIN OR YOU GPS. Open you GPS -there should be your caches. Think I,ve caught everything but this at least gives you a flying heads up hopefully. No doubt someone will improve on my little script LOL. Good caching all. Edited September 9, 2018 by walleroos Quote Link to comment

No doubt someone will improve on my little script LOL. Good caching all. I've just seen this thread while looking for an answer to the problem of no lists being sent. Garmin Express is the latest build. I added three caches to a list which I named. (...) was clicked and I clicked 'Send to Garmin' which was of course plugged in by usb. A little circle appeared for a couple of seconds....then nothing. I open my Garmin (Oregon 700) and check my caches and nothings there. I've used two browsers trying to do this with the same result. I've used the 'send list to Garmin' before and it has always worked. Picking individual caches and d/l them and putting them into the gpx folder still works fine. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong? I have to go out now but I will pop in again. Quote Link to comment
+icezebra11 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 What OS and browser are you using? Is your browser up to date? Mine works fine with Windows 10 and Chrome. Quote Link to comment
+peem Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 (edited) Sorry for late reply. I'm using windows 10. Browsers are Opera and Pale Moon. Both of which are up to date. Edit: Ok I think I've cracked it. Neither browser was asking me to open Garmin Express. I checked again to see if they were up to date. They both were. I un-installed Pale Moon and re-installed it. I can now d/l my lists. I'll try the same with Opera later. Edited September 14, 2018 by peem Quote Link to comment
