    Default "send to gps" function not working

    Hi all you techy type peeps......we have a problem......the function on the GSP cache page "send to gps" has stopped working. My mate Eric from team Heather W noticed first, and asked if mine worked....well it doesn't The window appears and has no "write" box, etc, on show, and says I need the latest plug-in.....which we both have....and still nowt. I use the old computer to download caches as my garmin lead is serial. I tried it on my laptop.....knowing I don't have any gps recognised, and the window appears telling me no plug-in detected, (as expected), but the "write", and the "find devices" boxes are greyed out.

    Any ideas chaps and chapesses?

    Cheers,

    Gaz

    Web browser Internet Explorer 6?
    Upgrade to IE7
    Or use Firefox -which has loads of nice scripts for Geocaching!

    Send to GPS on IE6 went wonky on a recent Groundspeak update...

    Yeah, ie6. Gonna upgrade to ie7 cos I like having my favourites on the left hand side all the time, albeit as narrow as pos, and I don't think you can with firefox......unless someone knows different!

    Thanks for the heads-up Bear,

    A fellow Firefox fan (hey! alliteration! ) can confirm this works a treat.

    If you install Firefox, it will/can import all your IE favs for you.

    Install Greasemonkey and get OS maps on cache pages and LOADS of other 'can't do without' features!
