  1. After discovering that none of my individually downloaded caches that I processed before traveling abroad were stored in my Oregon 600, I've been trying to discover the source of the problem. I spoke with Garmin at length with no solution and finally came across this forum and the thread. The final solution--adding geocaching.com to my trusted websites--seems to allow me now to save individual caches once more. Ain't technology wonderful???
  2. The five previous logs is a PQ limitation. If you want all the logs, press the refresh button while displaying the cache in c:geo. It's also possible to refresh all caches - from the Stored caches display press Menu -> Manage -> Refresh all (this will be slow). I'd suggest doing this only if you have saved a small number of caches. Offline maps are supported in c:geo with Open Street Map. The c:geo FAQ explains how to do this. Sorry I was off the forum for a few days getting a replacement N7--my screen stopped responding to touch. I followed your suggestion to display all the previous log entries and I think it will work OK if there is not a large amount of logs. I first tried it on an older, easily found cache and the action caused the app to stop running. With a newer and less found cache it worked well. I followed the link for the OSM, but it refers to an SD card--which the N7 does not have. Are or will there be specific instructions for N7? On some caches I get maybe the top 1/4 of a map offline and on others, nothing.
  3. I'm a new Nexus 7 owner and downloaded the Cgeo app to give it a spin. I like being able to dump bunches of caches into the DB by PQ. I tried finding the first cache with just the N7 alone, but find it a little more awkward to handle than a GPSr. This morning I was out and used what I think will be workable. I get to a site, try to find the cache with the GPSr alone. If necessary I pull out the tablet to research description, clues (finally found out how to decrypt clues) and (unfortunately only five) previous logs. I have entered finds in the field and had them upload flawlessly once I'm in wireless range. I still am working on getting the maps to show up offline (only a portion of the map shows up) and would love to have more logs download, but so far I'm pretty happy--especially since I lost the GC app for the I-pod a while ago and was having to revert to "paper" caching
