Thanks for your prompt reply, but unfortunatly it did not work. Thanks

Help urgently needed, my Dakota 20 has just died - blank screen nothing at all. I had loaded some Topo maps on and some caches (about 200) I turned it off and it will not turn on with new batteries or conecting to the computer. I have tried three sets of batteries and two differant computor leads. any help very grateful. Thanks

Thanks for that I will now stop trying. Cheers

Thanks for your reply, I have downloaded both but still to no avail. Thanks anyway.

I have just got a Blackberry curve 8520 When I go on the web browser and view Geocache web site I can not see the google maps on the 'seach with google maps' page. I can see everything else on the page. I have downloaded google maps as an application and can view the maps going through Google maps but not through Goecache. Any help greatly recieved Thanks.

Thanks everyone It works if you put your new setting in and then turn the unit off when you switch back on your in your new mode. Why is there no mannual for this GPS?????????

I have a Dakota 20 and love it. Saying that I have a problem when it comes to mystery caches I collect all the clues convert them to the coodinates and install them into the Dakota via mark waypoint. I then can not find the cache? using a mates GPS we set the same coodinates and it drops us on the cache??? I think my problem is in the setup - position format - I have tried a few differant settings but can only get 'close' (100 yards) not on top of the cache? it often puts the cache in a private garden, the middle of a lake etc. The nearest I can get is using - (setup) - (position format) - (hddd*mm'.mmm') - (map datum) - (WGS 84) - (maps spheroid WGS 84) is this were i am wrong!!! I hope that makes some sense to someone that can help me to gain mystery caches Thanks Moorhouse Gang

Just because they are getting sent to the card does not mean that the card has the correct path created. Make sure that the garmin/gpx folders exist on the card. You didn't say if they were created, so I just want to make sure they are. Otherwise, just send them to the units memory. Hi They are going to the card in a file marked GPX folder they are the same size and the same discription as the ones I send to the GPS. you say the card may not have the correct path? what is this about? sounds like it may be that as i can not see the card at all on the GPS. I am sending them to the card due to having TOPO maps on and a large number of Geocache when I go away for two weeks holiday. I dont get the option of sending the TOPO's to the card. Thanks for your help Moorhouse gang

Thanks to both of you Unfortunatly they are being sent to the GPX file on the card? When I am on Geocache website and send a cache to GPS it gives me two options (the GPS or F drive which is the memory card in my unit) once I choose to send to the F drive I can then see it in the memory card via looking through the computer. once disconected from the computer I can not find the card at all. Why the hell does Garmin not give a full instruction book on how to use the product that you have spent so much money on? I don't think they sell many if a new customers read this website first!!!!

I have a Dakota 20 with a 1 gig Memory card, I have sent Geocaches and routes to it via the computer successful to the card. but once disconnected from the computer I can not find them on the map in Geocaches or in routes its like I can not see the memory card. The unit works perfectly if I use it without the memory card. Any help gratefully received Thanks Moorhouse Gang

Hi Mark I have had my Dakota 20 for some 3 months not managed to download any maps other than topo maps, I have all the Memory maps of Britain but can only send route to the unit, and thats a task!!! You can down load Garmin maps but they are very expensive. Have fun Moorhouse gang

Brilliant works perfectly, can not wait till weekend so we can test it Thanks a lot

I have purchased a Dakota 20 on the understanding that I can upload route from previously purchased Memory maps. but unfortunatly all I get is 'Error 0' I have looked for up dates on Garmins website tried to load Mapsource but it want load to my two computors Can anyone help? Thanks Moorhouse gang
