I NEED HELP FOR GEOCACHING

[KING LING]

Hi all I have recently purchased a hand held gpswith the intention to try out geocaching I though it would be fun , but I'm having no fun because I have tried time and time again to try and load the caches onto the gps and i can't do it , if there is someone out there who could help it would be much appreciated

Thanks in advance

Sorry I'm no help cause I use my phone for geocaching. Haven't got a proper GPS. But I'm sure someone on here can help. Otherwise try the Aus geocaching forum.

What model GPS is it?

Do you have an iphone?  (there is an app available)

Your should be able to input the gps coords as a 'go to' somehow.

Hi King Ling,
Need to know what model GPS you bought first. I use a program called GSAK but you should be able to send the caches direct to your GPS from the cache page. Make sure your computer has the drivers for your GPS loaded and when you plug your GPS into your computer it is recognised.

as mentioned.. You may find you need to install a "Plugin driver"
EG: I have a garmin and I have to install a plugin/driver onto my computer so that the GPS can communicate with the Geocaching program

Hope that may be of some help

I think you will find the same applies to a Magellan
