[garmin Oregon 700 and maps]

You can load up to 20? maps on to the sd card. If you use Mapsource they are all named gmapsupp.img and each new map loaded will over write the previous one. To avoid that, each time you load a map rename it to anything you want, but leave the extension as   .img

[Cache hints for GPSMAP 64s]

Have you looked into using GSAK. The database does just about everything. From downloading PQs to publishing found GCs. I just log a cache as found, and when I get home connect the GPS to the computer and edit the log. GSAK will then connect to my Geocaching.com account and publish the logs. You can download and try GSAK for free. To buy a copy cost around $40USD one off. I have found this to be a good investment.

[Garmin GPSMap 64s wont display Geocache "boxes"]

I use GSAK to load caches in GGZ file format to a Garmin GPSMAP 64s and it works fine. All the caches are shown as boxes for traditional caches, and multis, mystery, and earthcaches have different symbols. Found caches have a treasure chest.

 

The PQs are downloaded into GSAK and caches selected for transfer to the GPSr.

[Garmin GPSMap 64s Price Drop]

BikeBill, I see you have taken the big leap and purchased a GPSMAP64s. How is it going. I have had a problem with mine recently. A few times when I turn it on, the map screen dashboard instead of showing the GEOCACHING DETAILS shows 4 small data fields.

[New Garmin Oregon 600 Series]

I had an Oregon 550 which supported Wherigo originally when purchased in 2011. When I updated the firmware about a year ago the Wherigo icon disappeared. I assume that Garmin in the firmware update removed support for Wherigo.

[New Garmin Oregon 600 Series]

I don't think there are many (any?) current Garmin models that support Wherigo. There are iPhone and Android apps, however. Out of curiosity, does anyone know of current Garmin models that support Wherigo? Some older Oregons did but not the newer ones.
