Down loading Geocaches

[dragon47]

Any body help, trying to down load geocaches but it keeps telling me that the plug in was not unlocked successfully. Any idea's thanks.

I have had the same problem today. I think it is a fault with geocaching.com

Groundspeak forum full of similar posts.

Seems to be a problem with the first bit of the web address HTTP... If it has a 'S' in there the plug in wont work.

Try.
Look at a different page, ie one without the 'S' (seems people are getting problems on the map page, but not from the cache page?)

Are you a Premium Member?
Download a Pocket Query.

Another option... Download to your desktop, then load to the GPS via Drag n Drop. That should bypass the Garmin Communicator plug in.

Thanks for your replies. I was trying to down load from geocache map which would not let me down load. I had to get gc No go to cache and do it that way, along way around but got there in the end. Thanks again.

Can no longer download geocaches through Garmin Communicator plug in as Google Chrome no longer supports the software (or something like that) So what do i do now

Are you a premium member, and do you have the GSAK program? That is what I use when I want to put more than one cache at a time into my old GPSr which I never got to work with the Communicator plugin.

Firefox web browser.

Or use Pocket Queries.

Further to my post of the 20th I now find Firefox is no longer supporting garmin. Very frustrating,feel like throwing the Garmin Dakota 10 away.Is there an easy,foolproof way of downloading Geocaches.You may have guessed I am an occasional Geocacher! Not very technical

Pocket Queries.

Or. for individual caches, download the GPX file to your desktop, then drag n drop -or copy n paste- to the GPX folder on your GPS.
(You could download the GPX file direct to the folder on the GPS, but I don't know how quick/slow it is...)

I have just started having a problem downloading caches to my Maggellan Explorist 610 and 310 using "Send to my GPS" option from Geocaching.com . I have tried this on both a desktop and a laptop and using Firefox and Edge. Looking at the Geocaching.com forums this is not just an isolated problem, unfortunately they are only talking about a fix for Garmin devices. However reading some earlier posts in GAGB I think I can see a solution i.e. use Pocket Queries and download via that route, I will try this and post the result.

It is not my preferred solution but Pocket Queries is working for me. Thank you Bear and Ragged.
