It appears you can only access pictures from a cache if you are not using the official geocaching.com site, but the other site, which is free, but not what I want to use as it is limited. I have really enjoyed the GPSrChive site. Tons of information. But no answers to my questions about adding favorite points, viewing attributes, or attach a picture to my log. I will keep looking!

I have been geocaching for a month with my 750t. There are some things I have figured out and like. I love not having to attach my gpsr to a computer to load caches or to upload logs! I love the little sidebar that shows distance, compass, size and D/T ratings. I love the page where you access logs, coordinates, hint, etc. I have finally figured out how to add a waypoint in a multi. There are a few things I wish it could do, but I can't figure out if it will. 1. View attributes for the cache I am looking for 2. Add a favorite point to a cache I am logging 3. Attach a picture to my log 4. View a picture from a cache page- from what I can tell, there is a way but either you have to use some other site that isn't geocaching.com, or manually download them ahead of time. 5.It seems like every time I figure something out, it doesn't work the same way when I go to try it again. I am trying to keep a log of what I do. The camera is terrible. Also, I reconfigured the power and the other button, and can't find a way to take a screen capture. If anyone has figured out how to do these things, I would love to hear from you!

If you are trying to plan a route to follow while finding a bunch of caches, try the geoprinter extension for Chrome. You add caches to a list in the order you want to find them, and can print the list and a map with the numbers in order.

Three questions: 1. Is there a way to view the gallery images for a geocache on the Oregon 750? 2. How about attributes? 3. When I view the logs for a cache on the Oregon 750, it is only showing the most recent 5. Cn I get it to show me more? Thanks

After many hours of failure, I was finally successful at downloading a map from openmtbmap. All of my trails are there! Thanks to all for the help.

Thank you. I think I need an OSM map, and have been to the website but can't figure out how to get the map on my gps. The export will only allow you to export a very small map. It refers you to other sites, and I can't figure out how to get the map on my gps from there. There is also a great map at Thunderforest, but I can't figure out how to get that one on my Oregon 750t gps either. Anybody have specific step by step directions? The topo map it came with doesn't have trails, even to state parks. I can't go geocaching without trails on the map!!! I'm fine with the tographical info.

Glad I found this forum. full of useful information. I am about to purchase an Oregon 750t for a good price. I have been using a Delorme PN-60 here in North America for over 10 years and am ready to upgrade. The Oregon comes with toppo, but it sounds like that's not the best maps for geocaching. 1. What are OSM maps? Do they have trails? How do you get them? I love the trails on my phone, but don't want to use up the battery and cell service. And it doesn't always work in the woods. 2. Are the City Navigator maps Garmin cells better than toppo? 3. Can you keep two sets of maps on the unit and switch back and forth? 4. Do you have to be able to get a good cell signal to use all of the features? Thanks for any replies.

Yesterday I logged some found caches, and most of them are showing up as exclamation points on the map rather than smiles. Two are showing up as smiles. I am using a new computer for the first time, and don't know if that has something to do with it. I have logged off and back on, restarted the computer etc. to no success. When I look at the cache page my logs are there, and they have been added to my total. Any ideas? Kathy

I wouldn't do that. There is no currently viable Delorme program. GPX files are loaded to Delorme via the drag 'n drop method. Cache Register, though still out there, does not function with geocaching.com anymore. I think that "uninstalling" GSAK would be better... at least then the computer wouldn't couldn't default the PQ download to it. I uninstalled the GSAK. And that fixed it .thanks for the quick help!

It also depends how you like to view the screen while you are caching. My friend has a garmin with a touchscreen, and I have a Delorme PN-60. She views a compass, I view my maps. I love the Delorme map view. If we are driving, it is much better than a compass. It shows not only roads, but also trails you are on and bodies of water as well. I can push the buttons with gloves on, which you can't do with a touchscreen. I will be getting my 2000th cach with it tomorrow. I think it is pretty user friendly, but you do have to spend a little time with it. My friend can't seem to get her Garmin to do any of this. She wishes she had a Delorme.

When I lost the ability to open and load pocket queries in my Delorme software because of something to do with "permissions" changes at geocaching, I tried to use gsak, but found it too complicated.Then I figured out that I could easily download the queries directly from the geocaching.com site to my computer, then open them and transfer right to my gps. I can also import them to the Delorme software. The problem is,when the files open after download, they appear to be gsak files, and I keep getting the nag screen. I really have no need for gsak, and would like the queries to open the way they used to as a zipped gpx file. Where do I go to change this default? Is it in my computer, or on the geocaching.com site?

No zoom control. Useless. Disabled premium member cache is a grey blob. Edit: No scale. Premium caches look fine with me. To show the Zoom & StreetView, you need to 'fold' the left hand "Search/PQ" area clicking the small arrow in the middle, and they should be on your far-left. Where are you when you do this? If I am looking at a PQ map, I don't see any "Search/PQ" area. Is this in the pq creation page? Oh, wonderful. Great useability design. not.

Is there a way to get the open street maps back? They were very useful as they actually had the trails on them, and you could see where on the trails the caches were. This is especially useful when biking in a trail system that is fairly complicated. I loved that map feature!

Same here. There are no names or codes for the images of the caches, and they don't link to the cache pages, so the only thing the improvements do is help you see if there are caches in an area. You just can't get there from here.

I have heard of someone in NH getting into legal trouble for a cache placed in or on an electrical box.
