When the download is complete, run the

Users of geocaching.com who are not premium 

members will have the ‘GPX eXchange File’ button 

greyed out.  It is recommended that non-premium 

members use the “Send to GPS” button but it is 

also possible to save the geocache as a LOC 

Geocache File.  

Go to www.geocaching.com on your browser.

Use the search tools on geocaching.com to 

select a geocache to load.   

Click on the “GPX eXchange File” button.

Files are saved to your computer with the 

filename <GeocacheID>.gpx.  The Geocache 

ID can be found in the upper right corner of the 

web page describing the geocache.

A “Save File” dialog window will open on your 

computer.  Save the file to your computer.  

(The location of where the file is saved will 

depend on your browser and how you have it 

set up to save files.)

Turn your receiver on and connect it to your 

PC with a USB cable.  

Select “Connect to PC” on your receiver.

(You don’t need to do one geocache at a 

time as explained above.  Continue saving 

geocache files until you have all you want for 

this session.)

Open the “MAGELLAN” device that has been 

installed on your computer.

Go to www.geocaching.com on your browser.

Use the search tools on geocaching.com to 

view a list of geocaches.

Click on the geocache name to open the 

geocache page.

The ‘GPX eXchange File button is greyed out 

for non-premium users.

Select the “Send to GPS” button.

Select the Magellan tab in the “Send to GPS” 

window. 

The Send to GPS function first detects if you 

have the Magellan Communicator installed.  If 

not, the message “Magellan Communicator 

not found...” appears.  Select the “click here” 

link to install the Magellan Communicator.  The 

Magellan Communicator only needs to be 

installed the first time a connection is made 

between an internet browser and the receiver.

Click on the “Download” button.

The geocache selected is uploaded to your 

receiver and can be accessed from the 

Geocaches function of the Main Menu on your 

receiver.

The Magellan Communicator is used to communicate 

between geocaching.com and your Magellan GPS 

receiver.  You can install the plug-in by using the 

steps above or by going to the Magellan web site as 

explained here. 

Go to www.magellangps.com and click on the 

“Products” tab.

Select “Maps & Software”.

In the software section, select “Magellan 

Communicator”.

the Download button.
