I've not tried it for a while. I generally either download them to GSAK first or if I'm just going for one or two new ones, near home, I'll just use the Columbus app on my Droid. I'll check it out this evening, unless I hear you get it working or someone else answers.

I still don't use this option myself. I'll have to play with it at home and see what issues I get.

In theory, if you connect your Garmin (at least) GPS to your computer and then click the "Send Waypoint to GPS" link on a cache page, it should do just that.

Have you tried it, yet? Are you getting a specific error?

Besides that, check the antenna connection and also try outdoors to achieve good signal.
