Also having accuracy problems. I found a geocache despite the poor accuracy of the 64s unit. Standing about 5 feet to the south of the hide so that i was out of the trees, the gps read an accuracy of 9 feet and indicated that the geocache was 69 feet to the east. Activity was set to Direct Routing and Lock on road set to No. Seems to be a bit off.

Had not used the compass much so i tried the the rotate test. the compass did rotate at times, but at other times i was facing north while the compass read south. I also found a geocache despite the poor accuracy of the 64s unit. Standing about 5 feet to the south of the hide so that i was out of the trees, the gps read an accuracy of 9 feet and indicated that the geocache was 69 feet to the east. Activity was set to Direct Routing and Lock on road set to No. Seems to be a bit off.

I followed this advice and my unit will now show my Geocaches even after i turn it on and off. Have not seen the error yet. I backed up the unit, and installed a card. Deleted the the three preloaded files from the GGZ folder. Then loaded pocket queries, maps and personal way points to the card. now it seems to be working every time. So it looks like you have have the out of date preloaded Geocaches or have your own but not both.

I sent Garmin a detail explanation of my issue I was having with "No Geocaches found" and received this reply.

Did removing the pre-loaded Geocaches fix the problem of "No Geocachesfound"? I fired up the new replacement i picked up last night and an having the same problem all over again. Must be related to some configuration or other content with a conflict.

I have a 64S and had the same problem. It work at first and then at some point it would report no geocaches found. I could load new geocaches and it would work again until i turned it off and then the problem would reoccur. I have also seen reports about the 62S where this problem was reported. I called Garmin support and they went through a number of trouble shooting steps and could not resolve the problem. They gave me the option to ship back for repair but i exchanged it at REI instead. When i got the new one home, i loaded some caches from the web site and now it seams that 250K that were preloaded are no longer accessible. The down side of the preloaded geocaches is that they do not get updated.
