[Error loading cache]

I just reinstalled the app. Problem solved.

[Error loading cache]

Clicked on always open with .... (Not browser). Now I get an error loading the cache. Using Android phone. Where is the location to un-do my mis-click?

[Deleting geocaches from Oregon 450]

Hook your Garmin up to the computer and use My Computer to look on your unit and delete the gpx file as StarBrand suggested. You will not see the caches, just the gpx file.

[Anyone find GSAK confusing?]

Once you've got the Oregon connected but before you send any new caches to it just find it in My Computer (or Windows Explorer) and go into the \Garmin\GPX folder and rename the geocaches.gpx file. Rename it anything you want, the Oregon loads all the gpx files in there no matter what they're called.

 

I have surfed GSAK quite a bit. I think I need to start over. I dont want to lose my hunting/fishing waypoints etc so will have to be careful. Gary's idea is good on my garmin so there will always be my saved waypoints that wont be overwritten at least. Issue is if I load caches then fish and mark a few waypoints, I am at risk of losing those waypoints even if I do add more or different caches because that will end up in that gpx file. I will have to do a lot of back and forth with sorting I think.

 

Looking into GSAK 101 etc, thanks for all the replies : )

bah I was afraid of that LoL. If I could figure out how to combine what they call databases I would be in good shape. If I add 20 new caches, it kills the other 200 I have already put on previously. Need to add new to old in a sense. Filters? I will look more into that. thanks

I loved EasyGPS. Such an easy program to use. It isnt compatable with pocket querys along with my Garmin 450 so I am attempting GSAK and not happy with its usability. Would be nice to have my normal waypoints not overwritten each time I put in a batch of caches. If I add a few caches to my garmin it overwrites my saved waypoints and all my other caches.

[WooHoo! Found my first Cache!]

Wohoo! Gratz! More will come quick : )

[Paperless info and EasyGPS]

Ok, thanks

 

Advantage of using the EasyGPS was that I could send 20 there in a jiffy rather than 1 at a time. I will do singles though to get that information I want sent to gps.

 

Really liking my Oregon too. From older Etrex Legend to this one and almost no learning curve, its so easy to use : )

[Paperless info and EasyGPS]

Can the "paperless" information be sent through EasyGPS? It seems that I get that information when I send singles but not when I send batches of geocaches through EasyGPS.

 

Also some caches show up with the icon as the container with no name above it and others are shown as a gold chest with cache name. Is that a result of the difference between sending singles vs. using EasyGPS?

 

I have a Garmin Oregon 400

 

Thanks!
