Thanks for the info, it kinda re inforces what I was considering. Just thought that Geocaching .com might have come up with a system for creating your own large GGZ file of caches ( i.e. a whole country if possible).

Has anyone else had problems with the preloaded caches on montana 680 units. I have just recieved my new 680T with approx 2.5K geocaches preloaded. I cannot find them in the cache listing or see them anywhere on the map. When i search for a cache it says no caches loaded. I can see the ggz file which refers to the caches but the unit is obviously not reading the file. The other side of this coin is that if i do manage get them back, how do I go about updating the file on a regular basis as I do with my pocket queries, there does not seem to be any advice on this subject. All replies greatfully recieved..

Thanks for responding. I haven't had occasion to post anything before. My main point to all of our fellow cachets is- by all means introduce friends and family to the hobby, but please keep an eye on what they are doing until they get more experienced. Thanks for editing out the tracking no, I will post the ref no shortly.

Every year lots of tb's and geocoins go missing mostly through new cachers starting out and then giving up after making one or two finds. It is very frustrating not to mention costly for the owners who have to replace the items. My own situation is that having released a geocoin here in the UK, it managed to travel all the way to Oz before disappearing into the hands of a cacher who gave up after 3 finds. If anyone spots a Help for Heroes geocoin, code [removed by moderator], please let me know and set it off on its return to the UK. Many thanks

I have an Oregon 400T and am having problems reading geocaches from the memory card. At present, the only way the unit will read them is if I copy the files across to the main unit. This is a pain as i wanted to get all of my local area ( approx 1000 plus files ) onto the main unit so that i can go off at short notice without having to mess about with the pc before i start. Am i missing something obvious?
