  1. I am interested in doing this cache. https://coord.info/GC6CJC1 in the most recent log there is a track log. https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=19oarG-_uI-mLMxj9SQCTog2mHKo&ll=-28.18613490042294%2C152.50885900000003 I would like to know how do I download it and view on my phone and Gps. Have tried wikiloc but not having much success. I have a Garmin Montana and an android phone.
  2. I checked the filters a few times. I also deleted some. Anyway its on its way back to garmin.
  3. I contacted garmin support told them about the geocaches and the unit freezing up. They said if it was just the geocaches they didnt care, but due to the unit freezing up, they will replace it under warranty.
  4. Wouldn't reset the settings take care of that? I did check filter settings and have deleted 2 filters that weren,t standard and made sure all were selected.
  5. I was geocaching today, put my gps in my pocket. Took it out of my pocket and saw it had gone to the filter menu by itself. Went to select my next geocache, and nothing showed up. Reset the GPS and still nothing. It had 1500 caches loaded on it. Got home and did another reset, deleted caches, and readded through gsak. Then deleted again and readded through pocket query. Tried both the SD card and loading them on the unit. Now the unit only shows 1 cache called "Melbourne" 32km away from where I live. I cannot get any to show. Have tried to reset again, and it will freeze when you hit the delete. Did a hard reset using the power button, and the problem is still there. Right now cannot be used for geocaching. Also took batteries in and out and also removed SD card and put back in.
  6. I got hold of a computer and deleted the caches and downloaded them again with new pocket query and it seems to be fixed. I also did a reset.
  7. I am overseas in Indonesia and my oregon 650 times out when viewing descriptions of caches and viewing hints. It worked fine last week in Australia. When you hit the description to show, it just goes into a loop and does,t show description, and does the same for hints.
  8. I used poi loader free software from garmin which seems to do the trick
  9. How do i load geo caches on a garmin nuvi 3450? I already have a handheld gps, but would just like to see on the car gps, the caches in the area's that i travel through. I wont be using it out of the car.
  10. You have to choose the day it says on the server, not the actual day. Here in the land downunder we are a day ahead
  11. When I am out doing a multi cache, i put in the next set of coordinates. Then all i get is a line showing on the map to the next co ordinates. How do i get the gps to show me how far it is or put a compass on the gps like it does on the geo cache dashboard. I am going to thailand and malaysia sshortly. What sort of map do i need to download? Will a street map do?

  13. ok followed your instructions to the letter including the crossing of the fingers on restart, and it is now working with geocaches files on the sd card. Thanx a lot for your help really appreciate it.
  14. Tried 3 different sd cards even tried load the waypoint geocaches to differents of the sd card including in the gpx folder in the garmin folder and outside the garmin folder, doesnt work. When i started the gps up it said loading geocaches waypoints tracks but then they are not available
  15. Pocket query is unzipped, garmin folder has a capital G and i have a 3rd sd card i can check, will also check way points. Rang garmin support and the phone kept dropping out and one guy had no idea what i was talking about.
  16. Oregon is not reading the caches because when i search for them they do not appear. They will appear if i put them on the hard drive of the unit. I am using the pocket query to move them across.
  17. I have tried using a SanDisk 32g Ultra and a SanDisk 8g - normal. Have formatted both cards and even made up folder called Garmin then a sub folder GPX, and put the caches inside. I can see these files on the cards when it is on my PC. But for some reason the Garmin Oregon does not read them. I have tried loading the GPX files with the memory card in the GPS and with the memory card in the card reader. Doesn't work either way.
  18. We are newbies and have just got the Magellan gps. I understand to enter coordinates i add a way point. But I am having trouble entering these coordinates. S 37° 53.904' E 145° 19.982' and S 37° 53.989' E 145° 18.567' have tried different formats but it seems to not like the number .904 or .989 because it is more than 60 what do we do? We have searched all over the net. We are from Australia.
