Catch

Upgraded to 2.60 thanks to yogazoo

PM me your email address and I'll send you the GCD file. Any of you that can't access the server can PM me for the file. Many Thanks, Done

Looks like US upgrades goes well, so I guess it is a different server here in Europe.. (I'm in Norway)

Same problem here..

Montana SW version 2.60 (Webupdater) Changes from version 2.50 to version 2.60: Improved camera Low Light Mode (650 and 650t) Improved route recalculations with 24K TOPO maps Fixed intermittent voice issues when navigating Fixed issues with orientation lock after a power cycle Fixed intermittent issues with Address and Intersection searches

This morning I loaded my Montana with 11950 geocaches and went out for a geocaching tour. The first thing I noticed is that It was problems to hit the right "button" on the lower part of the screen. E.g. when I tried to zoom with + and -, I got a red pin on the map. I can only zoom if I use the nail at the very bottom of the screen. I have tried to calibrate the screen twice, but it did not help. I find it strange if loading many geocaches has an impact on the screen calibration, but I will try to delete the geocaches to see if that changes anything. I will rather not do a master reset... Another observation is that the Montana turned itself off several times during a 3 hour tour. This has not happened before when 5000 geocaches (and several thousands of POI's) was loaded.

How to adjust the navigation audio level when the unit is in the automotive mount ? Forget it, I figured it out.

It looks like the Montana RAM mount can be used with this clip as well ? RAM Universal Belt Clip

I have had my Montana 650 for a week, and mainly used it for Geocaching, and I am very happy with it so far. Also, I have got a lot of useful info by reading this thread. Does the Montana's support Tourguide ?. Until now, I have used a Nuvi 760 in my car with Tourguide alert for geocaches along the road (GSAK macro GPX_by_Cache_Type) and a 62S for the geocaching. What would be nice is to use the Montana the same way as the 760 and the 62S.

I have never seen that message. Is there any info in log.txt in the program folder? j Yes: 99% Spoiler Sync v1.0.27 Started: 13 mai 2009 15:49:45 Invalid property value Finished: 13 mai 2009 15:57:31

Any idea what may cause the error message "Invalid property value" when running the Spoiler Sync macro. This message appears, and the Spoiler Sync halts, at about 95%. It looks to stop at different GC's every time I run the macro, so I guess it is not caused by something wrong in a specific GC...

try v7.1.8 I have a bad com cable so I couldn't test it j Custom icons works fine with V7.1.8 Thanks

Since the Custom Alert Type option was introduced, I can no longer see the Child Waypoint icons on my 760. (all child waypoints are still displayed in the list of POIs) My own symbol files is selected and shows up in the menu after refresh. Also, the built in "Traditional" icon is displayed on the 760, even though I have selected my own symbol file. But, after that I tested with slice/dice, I unchecked "Slice and Dice Traditionals", and ran the macro again, my own traditional icon is displayed on the 760. (The right icon is also displayed when slice/dice is selected.

The hint display option was implemented some time ago, and I always choose to display the hint first. As many caches has a very long description, including several languages, I would also like to have an option to display the logs before the description. I would prefer to first display the hint, followed by the logs, and optionally the cache description at the very end. Maybe all three could have similar options as for the hints ?

My 760 works perfect with this macro. It locked up often earlier, but that was corrected in a Garmin SW release some months back. Thanks for your reply Catch. What Version software is on your 760? Might is 4.6. We may need to compare notes on screen outputs if you are willing. I'm glad to hear that the 760 is working on yours. Are you also getting spoiler pictures? Again, thanks for your reply. Maybe I can figure out what I am doing wrong. I use 4.6 also. I am glad if I can help in any way. Send me a PM.

Yep, it's in there with 407470 And, in GSAK, Options, General, Method for matching placed (hidden) and found caches, check Owner ID# and that 407470 is entered.

The only thing you should need to do is to set the "Owned by (ID)" to 407470

Hmm, I have not sent you any email....

Hi Ken I have used this macro with spoilers on my 760 for more than 6 months, and I have updated the software when Garmin releases an update. Current SW is 4.60 (released a few days back) Maybe you have stored the downloaded spoiler pics in a different folder to the gpx, bmp and mp3 files ?. As an example, I have a GSAK database called "Nordic", and all files to generate the POIs with spoilers is located in the "Nordic" folder: C:\GSAK\POI_Loader\Nordic In the Advanced Options of the macro, the GPX Output Path is: C:\gsak\POI_Loader\ Load Spoiler pics is enabled and then Run SpoilerSync Macro. POI Loader Path: C:\gsak\POI_Loader\Nordic

I've got a bad usb cable but got it working long enough to test the spoiler pics. They are working ok here but if you have changed the GPX output path the spoilersync macro will have to be rerun. Or you could move the spoiler files from the old path just make sure to copy them all including the .txt files and get them into the correct database folder prior to making any changes to the GSAK database. If "POI DATA" is the name of your GSAK database it should be working otherwise you have the spoilers in the wrong location due to making a change to the output path. j The Spoiler Pictures works fine on my 760.

Apologies Catch, I didn't have the Nuvi to test so I was looking at the XML and included symbols. I must have missed something. Will take a look in a day or so. j After upgrading to 5.8, all POIs are listed 3 times on my Nuvi 760 (both parent and childs). When viewing the map on a traditional cache listed, all 3 has the same icon, but when viewing the map on a child, e.g. Parking Area, the first in the list displays the right Parking icon, while the 2 others listed displays the parent icon. Sounds like POIL is picking up some files from previous runs. One of things we loose when giving the option to change the output path is the ability to clean-up files from previous runs and prevent POIL from picking up old data and duplicates. (the very reason I resisted) Yes, you are right. I can see that there are two subfolders from previous runs in my main db folder, and I guess POIL picks up from all 3. I also noticed that loading the POIs to the Nuvi took alot longer time than before.
