#HOW TO DOWNLOAD GPX FILE UPDATE#

Theoretically, there may have been some new caches placed since I ran the PQs or caches that were archived or disabled, but I still had way more viable caches in my GPS that I could ever find in a week. I ran the PQs a week or so before leaving and was gone a week. That covered areas in four countries I would be visiting. On a recent trip I created and ran 6 different pocket queries, merged the results, and downloaded the caches to my handheld.

Most of the time I travel it's for business so I always have a laptop with me but I can't remember the last time I've run a PQ while traveling to update my GPS. Connect to a Hotspot or via 'tether' to a phone, and you're golden. With something like that, you could even run Garmin Express and load Lists. Here's a Windows 10 tablet for under $100 (just an example, not an endorsement): Send PQs to the Garmin or send to an SD Card and put the card into the Garmin.Д«ut for managing large numbers of caches, actual PC is better a fiddly phone that only kinda-sorta supports PQ transfer. As mentioned, there are adapters for Android at least, and Androids often have a built-in SD card slot. There are USB wifi routers that can send data to USB or a Micro SD card from IOS and Android. Still, I've also tried ideas to get caches onto my Garmin Oregon 650, on-the-fly. Load PQs of the main caching places, and some choice caches along the route. If I'm ever suprised to wake up 100 miles from where I was, Geocaching won't be my priority. A 100 mile radius is quite an area to cache.

I plan ahead and load a PQ of the places I plan to go.

Unfortunately Apple Ipads don't support this, are there any of the Android tablets that do or any other suggestions? How do people manage to download GPX files from either email or the Geocaching site while they don't have ready access to a laptop or computer? I will be travelling and hope to run PQs to cache while I am away.
