[Garmin nüvi 550 Geocaching mode]

 

I am having the same problem. My Nuvi 500 still shows caches in it when turned on but the GPX file is empty when connected to the computer. I read somewhere that this could happen if you are using a Mac and delete the file, you need to empty trash before disconnecting. It is very possible that I did delete them from my Nuvi while attached to the Mac and not empty the trash. Now what? I have contacted Garmin and am waiting for a response.

 

When you plug in the garmin, is the trash on your mac still 'full'. If so (it happens to me sometime) just empty the trash and re-copy the up to date GPX files and away you go.

I found a strange problem that I can not seem to fix with my NUVI 500. It is related to the other issues on this thread.

 

I can not seem to get rid of old caches in the unit and load a new .gpx file. I have been doing this now for over 6 months and it has worked up to now. I delet the old .gpx file and load the new file, biut the old data stays in the unit. I even deleted the GPX folder. When I did this it initiated the start up geocaching sequence and built a new GPX folder, but when I load a new .gpx file I continue to get the old data.

 

I am running the latest firmware.

 

Has anyone found the answer to this problem?

 

I've also been using the Nuvi 500 for about 6 months, and have recently noticed that the logs on my nuvi date back to August (it's now almost December), even though a copy a new gpx file into the Garmin/GPX directory each week.

 

Any ideas?
