![]() Did a rollback to Explorer 9 (under Win7) and reinstalled the plugin. Tried to install the plugin (newest version 4.20) but Explorer will not recognize the plugin as being there. I'm a 60Cx user that has been inactive for several years. ![]() Thus I feel that options 2 and 4 will make your life easiest if you are unable or unwilling to entertain the route of option 3. ![]() iCaching accesses the site via API, and will take advantage of a premium membership to view and download more caches than you are allowed with a basic membership. It will be able to load the caches onto your GPSMap 60cx properly so you can keep playing the game. It uses GPSBabel as a framework for that anyway. You can use GPSBabel to install GPX files onto older GPS, but iCaching might make that process easier. Option 4: iCaching is the mac answer to GSAK. ![]() If you're an avid GPS user, I would think about upgrading in the near future. New file formats become standard, and the files for data and maps require more space and processing power than in the past. Option 3: I understand if you're not ready to upgrade your GPS if your current, but older model is working just fine. But the benefits of a premium membership I feel outweigh the nominal cost of supporting the game. Option 2 will only partially solve your problem. Option 1 is the the least preferred method and I wouldn't recommend it unless as a last resort. Load caches via iCaching ($15 on the mac app store) Upgrade your GPS to one that is GPX compatible (paperless caching feature)Ĥ. Pay for a premium membership so that you can download GPX files and use pocket queries to bulk download cachesģ. Find an older computer with an older version of firefox that will let you continue using the communicator plugin.Ģ. The Garmin Express feature for sending lists won't work for you either because bookmark lists are a premium feature, and I believe that Garmin Express isn't compatible with the 60cx.ġ. The issue is that the "Save as GPX" feature is only available to premium members. Neither downloading loc files from gc.com nor sending them to the gps does solve that issue which is at the core of the problem. Downloading loc files instead and sending them to the GPS just does not solve the issue that is created by the fact that send to gps apparently cannot be used on Macs unter the native system any longer. The OP mentioned that people told him to download gpx files from the cache pages and that he realized that he cannot do that because they are greyed out for him (like for me). The issue for Mac users that are basic members is how to get the files to send to the gps that contain the waypoint info. It is no problem at all to transfer files (loc or gpx) to both old and newer gps units. I have always been aware that you did not address the send to gps issue, but it is at the core of the issue for basic members. When you cherry-pick quotes in a thread, make sure the context is maintained. I wasn't addressing the "send to gps" issue. The issue is how to get the file that is sent via send to gps. The issue is not how to transfer the file with the waypoints to the GPS (there are many programs that do that job and one for every platform). The file sent by send to gps does contain them. The loc file does not contain the additional waypoints. Save the loc file to a folder on the computer, hook up the gps with the cable, open GPSBabel and transfer caches/waypoints to the gps. I've used GPSBabel for years and years, both as a PM and as a Basic Member.
