+Nemo 2 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Today I used my Garmin 64S while geocaching and marked any geocaches I found, as found on my GPS. Now that I'm home how can I download that information onto my computer and ultimately onto Geocaching.com? I do have a copy of GSAK if that helps but can't figure out how to get the info off of my GPS and into the program. It seems tedious to scroll back on my GPS, figure out exactly which ones I found and then reenter them onto Geocaching.com one at a time. It would be easier to just use my iphone instead of my GPS.

+barefootjeff Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 (edited) You can upload finds from your GPSr directly using the Drafts page on the website to read the Garmin\geocache_visits.txt file from your device. See this page of the Help Centre for more info. Edited November 13, 2018 by barefootjeff 3 Quote Link to comment
+Nemo 2 Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 Thanks for the help! I didn't get anywhere with Basecamp but I got it to work fine uploading straight to the drafts page on Geocaching.com. Quote Link to comment

I did not say anything about websites... the PO asked about cleaning already Found caches from the unit. Obviously connect the GPS with the computer via-USB. Run BaseCamp. In the menu choose "Receive from the GPS". The map will show all the caches. Just delete those with an "open chest" icon. Backup this new setup in your computer. Delete the GPX drawer content inside the GPS. In the menu choose "Send to GPS". (Be sure to send the correct backup, in case there are many) Quote Link to comment

Basecamp would accomplish the first part the OP's question, but the full request was to get the found caches onto the website.
