[Garmin GPSMAPS 62s Profiles]

 

If you send me a message with your email address I will send you the profile directory that was sent to me from someone in the USA as it was not on this forum that I made contact with him. I will also provide you with a few notes on suggested procedure I used to make sure that nothing remained 'tainted' by any of the old profiles.

 

Bill.

 

Thanks for the reply Bill, email sent!

Check your e-mail for solution.

 

Is there a reason for not posting the solution here? I am in the same boat and would love to know the fix. I am having an issue with the GPSr powering off when I try and use the next stage feature on multi caches. I think my profiles might be corrupt.

 

Thanks,

Yes, I'm sorry for not posting the final solution, but as the other poster said, it can be achieved by replacing the contents of the profile folder with 'virgin' profile files. Two people kindly sent me their files which I used successfully.

 

The 'Recreational' Profile will of course have been modified slightly as that is the default one used at the first boot of the GPSr. The other issue I ran into was that one person sent me files from the US which meant that my unit then had map datum settings for the US continent. This was easily changed when I realised.

 

Bill.

If that is all it takes for the fix, I could really use a set of the US default profiles for the 62s. If anyone can help me out, that would be great.

If you were smart and backed up your GPS when you got it, just replace your existing profiles with your back up. Or someone who backed it up could email you the orginal profiles.

 

Profiles are also a good think to back up regularly and before you do a firmware upgrade.

 

Profiles can get corrupt. It happened to me once and caused all kinds of problems.

 

I have never been accused of being smart Thanks for your email.

[Loading caches into GSAK]

Can you just drag your folder into GSAK? I don't have Windows 7, but for XP, I just run my pocket query and then download it to my desktop. From there I just drag that into my open GSAK database and it adds them all.

Dang I was hoping that would be the ticket. I know others that had the issue and that fixed it for them. Is your software up to date?

 

I will check. Have their been any updates recently? So what's. It cost to send to Garmin? I'm sure there is an assessment fee.

 

If out of warranty check here

Do you have SD card installed? If so try pulling it and see if that does the trick. If it does you may need a new card or you could try to reformat your card.

[Poblem with field notes and UTC vs local]

I am having the same issue. I use Cacheberry and the time zone is set for Central and is the same on the GC.com site. I first checked to see if it was a Cacheberry issue, but learned it was a GC.com issue. It is a pain to have to change the date back when you are flying through your logs. Hope to see the fix soon!

[Changing user name]

What happens with the caches i found when i change my username?Totaly delete, or only the name changes?

Just the name changes and all your finds and trackables go over to the new name if approved.
