Suddenly when loading my PQ's to Montana 650, I'm finding that the hints are loading encrypted. This has only just started to happen and is quite frustrating when out in the field. Any ideas anyone?

You have to connect Oregon to a computer. It acts as a mass storage device and is treated by Windows Explorer as another drive on the system. Delete files as you would on any drive.

Maps on your oregon (or Colorado)
greyboots replied to keehotee's topic in United Kingdom and Ireland
Screen capture (print screen), then crop and save as jpeg using Paint, or PSP, or photoshop - or whatever you use. If you have Vista use the Snipping tool. This allows you to cut any bit of the screen you want and save as JPEG -
To get marks and tracks from or to Oregon from or to MM they have to be "saved as " .GPX files and then moved into the appropriate folder to be read. I tried using Mapsource to do this but it crashed each time I tried to save file. I eventually downloaded EasyGPS and this worked fine. Does exporting direct from MM as .gpx not work then? According to Garmin MM and Oregon/Colorado do not communicate due to the GPS being Mass Storage Units

I've had the Oregon for only a week but first impressions are very favourable.

Thanks Jon, I seem to have it sussed. By downloading from Oregon into EasyGPS and then "Save As" as a .GPX file which can then be opened in Memory Map.

I've just upgraded from a Legend HCX to an Oregon 200. Great piece of kit, but I now find that Memory Map and Oregon do not communicate. I use the Legend for both caching and walking and load tracks and marks into MM and then can print out a map of the route. This I cannot do with the Oregon. Garmin FAQ page shows a way of loading from MM to Oregon via Mapsource but not the other way about. Anyone know a way round this?
