Hey that was cool. Thanks for the tip.

Never mind. I just found it.

I can't remember how to put geocaches on Google Earth. Can someone tell me how? Thanks.

Your trying too hard. Hook up the Oregon in mass storage mode - and place the unzipped gpx file into the [drive:]\garmin\gpx folder - unhook and go caching. Easy. Thanks StarBrand. I did that and it works. Also bought the Topo Canada disc and installed that so I'm good to go. Finally got it figured out.

Well I did the pocket query thing but can't figure out how to send them to my Oregon. I opened the file from pocket queries on Easy GPS and it lists all my caches. I highlighted them all and clicked send to gps but nothing happened. Am I missing something? How do I send them over?

I don't think garmin anticipated people actually loading a cache one by one. It seems more efficient to create a pocket queries that can hold a max of 500 caches per gpx file - this way you would run into your max geocache limit of 2000 first while only using 4 gpx files. I'll have to try the pocket query later. That's way better. I definately like having the hints or description on the gps instead of having to write them down. Brilliant idea. Too bad there's a limit of 200 files. There's gotta be a way you can put extra on the memory card. If not, that's crappy. Very annoying for a product that costs over $400. I got it on sale but that's not the point. When I have the time, I'll have to figure this out. What a pain. Thanks for the replies guys.

I forgot about the 'reset' menu. I checked it last night and it said it was only 8% full. I would delete them all if it wasn't for the few fishing spots I have marked. I don't want to delete them. I'll have to try to figure it out later. I was deleting some one by one but that takes way too long.

I apologize but this might be a bit long. Here's my problem: I can save about 200 gpx files apparently on my Garmin Oregon 200 and about 2000 geocaches in addition to 1000 waypoints. It says I can save about 200 gpx files as long as I don't exceed the waypoints and I probably have about 200 caches saved but I have only manually saved a handful of waypoints. The Garmin site says: "This error message is appearing because you are exceeding the number of .GPX files (route and waypoint data) that the unit can hold/accept. The unit can hold up to a maximum of 200 GPX files as long as the maximum number of 1000 Waypoints and 50 Routes are not exceeded." I have not saved more than 20 waypoints. So I'm guessing that when I load the caches, it is also loading extra waypoints for parking and other stuff that I don't know what they are. They are not GC codes and some have blue flags on the map. I don't know what they are for. When I plug my unit to my pc, there is no folder for waypoints, just gpx files so I don't know how to delete them without manually doing them one by one on my unit. The gpx folder showed some of my saved tracks that my gps is not showing. The Oregon only shows the current track button and 2 saved tracks. It says it's saving the track but then says I've exceeded the maximum.... and won't show the saved track. Now, I have a 2GB sd card but it's not saving to the card. If I exceed the internal memory amount, why won't it save the excess to the card? How do I load caches without the extra waypoints? I don't understand why I can save 2000 caches but only 200 gpx files. That doesn't make sense at all. Any advice and info would be much appreciated. Sorry for being long and maybe confusing.

Try to contact Garmin, or borrow a 200 from someone else and copy it over. I'm not sure if the basemap from a 300 is the same (likely, but I'm not sure). Wasn't aware you could erase the basemap but you'll have to contact Garmin to see what they say. Have you noticed your map wasn't totally accurate? In certain spots it has me driving at least 400 meters off the road. Something wrong there.
