![]() ![]() I will have a play about with Garmin Basecamp, methinks. Many thanks for taking the time to respond. Superb, NYPaddleCacher! That makes a lot of sense. EasyGPS works with hundreds of GPS receivers, including all Garmin Drive, nüvi, eTrex, Colorado, Dakota, echoMAP, GPSMAP, Edge, Forerunner, Montana, Oregon, and. View your GPS tracks and data in Google Earth. They an can be used to manage a very large collection of waypoint and save all or a portion of them as a GPX file then copied to a GPS as mentioned in the second method. ExpertGPS adds street maps, topos, and aerial photos Convert and reproject your GPS, CAD, and GIS data. There are other waypoint managers as we but all of them have a driver for sending *and* receiving waypoints to/from a GPS. Garmin Basecamp has versions for both Windows and a Mac and can also be used for managing maps that can be sent to your GPS. EasyGPS, and ExpertGPS (the latter being the paid version of the first) are a bit easier to use than GSAK but are also only for Windows. GSAK *can* be run on a mac but requires jumping through some additional technical hoops. ![]() The most common for Windows users is GSAK. The third option is to use a waypoint manager on your computer. This will not work for older GPS devices, and although the procedure for doing it is well documented, those with a Magellan, Delorme, or other GPS brand will need to find instructions on how to copy files to the GPS. The second method, as HHL and niraD describe is to download a GPX file (or LOC for a basic member) which contains cache data for one or more caches to your computer, then after plugging in the GPS to the computer, to copy the file to a folder on the GPS. It also only allows you to send data to your GPS one cache at a time. ![]() It does not work in all browsers as the technology it uses has been deemed to have a potential security vulnerability (that doesn't mean that the plugin is insecure). The first, as you mention it to use the Garmin Communicator plugin. Other than manually entering coordinates into your GPS there are basically three methods for getting cache data from the site to your GPS. I will have a go with the above methods, and see what works well.Īfter a fair amount of trawling the forum, I've downloaded the Garmin Communicator thingy via Firefox, which seems to be doing the job, but I'll try other routes also. Thanks for your responses, all! Very helpful, and much appreciated! ![]()
