Moving found caches from the Garmin 550 to Geocaching.com

[+Oysterr51]

Well, on the GPS it says I have found them, but on the map it says I haven't.  I am plugged in, but not sure how to send the found and unfound ones from the GPS to geocaching.com.

 

Awaiting instructions please.  Mike

You’ll need to upload your draft logs from the Garmin.

If I remember correctly, you’re looking to upload your geocache_visits.txt file.

As IceColdUK said, you need to upload the "Drafts" from the Garmin to the web site.  With it plugged into the PC, use to the "Upload Drafts" link on the Drafts page (see the info above) and navigate to the "Garmin" folder  on the GPS and upload the geocache_visits.txt file.  Then return to the "Drafts" page to edit and submit each log.  Then the caches are online in the stats.

 

I move that file to my PC, then upload it from there.  The GPS creates a new file.  But it's no big deal to leave it alone, unless there's a problem later.
