Also using a mac and an eXplorist 310, I had a similar problem initially.
My memory is that it was solved by exporting the query in a different version of gpx.
Mine wasn't a fixed number of caches that would show, but only those within a certain distance.
I don't have the 310 with me at the moment, but I'll look through my notes and see if I'm remembering correctly.
The one part I'm certain of is that Magellan tech support wasn't much help.

I suspect rotating doesn't totally calibrate a three axis compass. Maybe they added a way to calibrate the third sensor that people are missing.
They have a nice little animated sequence which shows what direction to rotate it, and around what axis. It still doesn't work.
-
I can't say for sure that its related to the 3.20 update, but I'm no longer able to calibrate mine either. It certainly changed suspiciously close to the same time as the update.

In the last month there has been:
Montana v. 5.10
Oregon x50 v. 6.30
Oregon 6x0 v. 2.70
GPSMAP 62/78 v. 4.90
GPSMAP 62sc/stc v. 3.70
True, the eTrex and Dakota have been left out for now.
-
I wouldn't spend too much on it, but it is still a pretty capable unit. Almost any current unit will offer many advantages, but the V can still help you find things.

Do let me know if you download something that doesn't work. Sometimes the uploads don't end up with errors and I might have an archive on my home backup.
