You automatically download both files when you pull the PQ from GC.com...what
you do with them is up to you.

So, the difference being that if I had a puzzle cache, for example, that had
additional informational waypoints (go here to find this piece of information
that you'll need to solve the puzzle), I would want to download both of the
files, as opposed to a traditional cache (X marks the spot).

You can put both on there. The straight ".gpx" file is the cache data proper.
The "wpts.gpx" file includes child waypoints, parking coordinates, etc. If you
can do without them, just load the basic ".gpx" file. If not, load both.

Also, my PQ generated two files: .gpx and .wpts.gpx - Do I put both on the
GPS? If not, which one?

In my case, it's F:/Garmin/GPX There is no "GPS"; could it be GPX? Isn't that
the .extension for the file?

The way i go about doing this is, plug the usb cable to the gps and computer.
Then down load the pocket query to the gps directory {drive letter}/garmin/gps
Then unplug and have fun.

Ok, other Garmin Oregon 450 owners: I now have my new unit and it's ready to
be set up for Geocaching. I've done the quick start and visited the Garmin
website to register it, but now I'm not sure what I'm doing. When I run a
query for caches on Geocaching.com, then what do I do? I'm a bit lost and of
course the quick start guide is pretty much only helpful for putting in the
batteries and turning it on. Help!
