![]() ![]() They are patient posts too : if you use the 'search' box at top right of this page to input "garmin communicator plugin not wotking" it shows 75 results, all about this precise problem, many of them explanations and advice from the exact same folk. Those seem like pretty helpful posts to me, pointing to where you can find help. The alternative, if to meet up with some local cachers and ask how they are doing what you want to do and see if they will help you. The suggestion to use GSAK is valid, but it also has a large learning curve and WILL require you doing reading and fooling around with it to understand how it works. If you want to use the latest tools, methods and technology, then you will need to educate yourself in the use of said tools, methods and technologies. Before you ask how to do something, just type your question into the search tool and see if the question has 1. perhaps it is a symptom of the spoon fed society we live in. It is frustrating to see those who are asking for help, not do any type of research / digging or reading themselves. The problem is that the solution to the question(s) HAS been posted and discussed a number of times. ![]() I don't usually comment on the starts of arguments, however. I came here looking for answers to the same questions that many others have, and am still looking for answers. Or you get criticized for being a noob, or the number of caches per day you've found, or whatever. ![]() Or you get basically told you're an idiot, and that there's lots of info and workarounds. Post asking for help, and you get made fun of. The Forum has all the reading you will ever need on the subject, and more. Many people can still use it, until various updates happen. "Send To GPS" and its plugin "Garmin Communicator" is becoming less viable, especially so in the last couple of years. Here's a help center page with options and additional reading:īut be aware that if "Send To GPS" does not work for you, the Help Center info may not be helpful. You will find endless discussion, including lists of steps that don't even work anymore, or may cease to work at any time. If you enjoy falling down the rabbit hole as much as I do, search these Forums for " Garmin Communicator Plugin" as Mineral 2 said. Do either of those two, and you're all set. Or for just one or two caches, typing coordinates manually can save a lot of time. Could somebody help me with this problem?Ĭlick the "GPX File" button on any cache page and save it to a Garmin GPS in the folder "Garmin/GPX". Now I just don't know what's the problem and why it still isn't working. I also tried it with several web brouwser: Chrome, Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge. Seems like turn by turn and mapping/routes shouldn’t be this complicated in the year 2015.īottom line, make sure you have the right cable, and also set up your cues on the route file before importing.Last week I tried several times to download a Geocache to my Garmin DAKOTA 20 GPS, I installed the communicator but it stil didn't work. I could have used RideWithGPS to add cues, but I tried their “Write to Garmin” and it wasn’t working, not sure it was putting things in NewFiles either. Great!īut, the file I exported from MapMyRide turns out didn’t have any cues (basically turns), so I was riding just looking at the line on the map the entire ride. Turns out on the 1000 you need to put the files in “NewFiles” folder on the device and reboot, and when it comes back it, the Garmin will process them and they show up on the device. Previously on the Garmin 810 you could just copy into “Courses” or “Rides”, etc and files would show up. I found my “official” Garmin cable and it showed up right away. Syncing is fine since I usually sync over wifi or via the phone connection. I have a ton of USB cables and I was using one of the many, which with the Garmin 1000, would charge it if hooked to the computer, but it wouldn’t show up as a device or sync with Garmin Express. am I using the right cable? Well, turns out I wasn’t. Tried a few different computers, nothing. Hooked up to the computer, Garmin wouldn’t show up. I exported them out and tried to get them on my Garmin 1000. What I didn’t know was the best route from Madison to New Glarus, as there are many routes. ![]() I have ridden my bike from Sun Prairie to Madison plenty of times so I knew the route about half of the way. This past weekend, I decided to do a bike ride from Sun Prairie to New Glarus. ![]()
