The Explorer
From a Geocaching newsletter I recieve...
"Last week, Garmin released a browser plug-in that allows for much easier communication between its GPS devices and websites with GPS information, including geocaching.com.
You'll now see a "Send to GPS" button on every cache page - once you've downloaded and installed the plugin, available at
www8.garmin.com/products/communicator/
just attach your GPS device, click the button, and go - the information is transferred directly with no 3rd-party software required. Currently, the plugin is compatible with IE 6+ and Firefox 1.5+ for Windows users only, though Garmin promises to deliver Mac support soon."
I dont use a Garmin so cant comment on its usefulness. Looks like fun though.
Cheers
Greg

Thanks from me as
well, it even works with the c320 so I will now be able to upload the geocache waypoints into Oziexplorer then download to my meridian gold without all that fiddly typing.
