Guest Growley Posted July 20, 2001 Share Posted July 20, 2001 Thank you for the fast response to my first question. Now question 2: I have downloaded easyGPS. I went to my first cache and clicked on "download to EasyGPS for Groundspeak". All that happens is that a box pops up which tells me to login, aggree to terms, and download waypoints. I go back to the cache page, click on the same icon and although it appears to be downloading something, I can never find it. I have tried this with EasyGPS open and closed. Help!!

Guest Lou C Posted July 20, 2001 Share Posted July 20, 2001 When you download the waypoint coordinates, they will be saved in a file called "geocaching.loc". You must then go into EasyGPS and load that file. Then, finally, send the file to your GPS. The first thing I usually do is rename the file it downloaded to the name of the waypoint. Thay way, you can keep all the waypoints in separate files and the file name will tell you which one it is. Give it a try. Lou Quote Link to comment
Guest Qman Posted July 20, 2001 Share Posted July 20, 2001 If you use IE as your browser and click Open every time you are prompted, it will eventually run EasyGPS and load the points you are downloading. Quote Link to comment
Guest Growley Posted July 20, 2001 Share Posted July 20, 2001 O.K.; Gents, I'm really not this stupid however, I still can't download any waypoints from Geocaching.com. I click on the "download waypoints" box and it continues to open to the Geocache window about EasyGPS. I am logged in and when I click on the box it just continues to jump back to Geocache window. There are no .loc files that have been downloaded. I have tried this on two different computers now with the same results. I figured if I could figure out how to use my eTrex Legend EasyGPS would be easier. Help Again!! Quote Link to comment
Guest jeremy Posted July 20, 2001 Share Posted July 20, 2001 You'll need to follow Step 2, or you may have cookies turned off. You need to have cookies turned on to download. Quote Link to comment
Guest Growley Posted July 20, 2001 Share Posted July 20, 2001 Got the problem figured out. Had something to do with where I saved EasyGPS. IT WORKS!! Thanks to all the helpful hints. Quote Link to comment
Guest Hard Slate Posted July 20, 2001 Share Posted July 20, 2001 I've just started playing with easygps.My question is,when I dl a waypoint it puts another easygps icon on my desktop for each waypoint I load, is this normal? Quote Link to comment
Guest dmdeitz Posted July 27, 2001 Share Posted July 27, 2001 is there any way to get a whole bunch of waypoints of caaches in my area in one fell swoop to enter into easygps or do you have to go to each page 1 at a time? Quote Link to comment

It's not a setting in Windows ME per se, but a setting in your browser. If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer, then go to Tools/Internet Options..., then select the "Security" tab. Make sure that "Internet" is selected for the content zone, click "Custom Level...," and then scroll down to the "Cookies" section. Set the radio buttons to "Enable" and you are in business! ------------------ Jon (Moun10Bike) 27H/71F/3C/2S/2X N 47° 36.649', W 122° 3.616' www.switchbacks.com/geocaching.html Quote Link to comment
