" Any idea why my Dakota doesn't show waypoints that basecamp says is on it. My understanding is that this should work. "
I bought a Dakota 10 yesterday and am having the same problem i think as yours. I could see the geocaching waypoints fine on basecamp but when trying to send to the Dakota, it appeared they were sent, but none would show up on the Dakota.
A work around i found; While connected to the computer, I looked in the Dakota's file folder under the folder GPX. Here there are two folders, "Current" and "Nav". I found the waypoints (Waypoints1.gpx) sent from basecamp in the "Current" folder. I put it in the "Nav" folder and now the Dakota is displaying the downloaded waypoints. Go figure..... Either something both of us are doing wrong or a bad oversight by someone.
I did this with Ubuntu Linux but doing it with Windows "my computer" should work.
Spent the afternoon hiking and the Dakota's sensitivity seems superb but an annoying thing like above can burn hours of trying to figure it out.
