How do you normally load geocaches to your GPSMAP 66?

How were the ',missing' GPX files originally loaded?

Do you have a backup? Can you load them again?

When I do a pocket query, I get a *.gpx file.
I put it in garmin / gpx by a cable

I don't use geocaching live

Can you reload the PQ GPX files to your device?

What about loading them to the microSD card?

Hi , A method that I would recommend you try if not already tried.
Make sure your pocket query folder is unzipped
Use copy and paste function on your computer to copy the unzipped gpx file
Using file explorer on a windows pc or finder on a Mac, locate your connected GPSmap 66
Go into the gpsmap66 folder on your computer and locate the folder named gpx
Copy your unzipped gpx files into this gpx folder within your device

I hope this helps
