Hi, yes I tried that before posting on here but no replies sadly. Thanks for the suggestion tho B

I laid a cache on the Isle of Skye a few days ago, but need a local cacher to act as a proxy owner in order for it to be enabled... I visit every month so anticipate minimal contact will be needed from anyone kind enough to agree to help me out, but the rules say it can't be enabled unless someone on the island agrees to accept responsibility for it. If you can help me, please reply and we can discuss more off forum The co-ordinates are N 57° 25.797 W 006° 46.831. Cheers Becka/beetlebug54

thanks am learning how to figure out some of the extra bits now and will transfer map data to the SD card when I get home.

The Etrex Legend HCx does not store cache data in the SD card. The cache data is stored in the fixed internal memory. Your nice new shiny SD card can be used to store maps and tracks. If your a GSAK user there are some macros that allow for limited cache data to be stored as POI files that also are stored on the SD card. But for more caches? nope. Thanks I feel like such an idiot for not realising this. Ho hum. I'll just have to transfer everything from BaseCamp each time I move areas. Least I can stop wondering what I am doing wrong now tho!

Thanks for the reply. The response above explains it perfectly - I have a device which is limited. Ho hum. Will loads maps on to the SD card instead then (and get a smaller one and use the 8GB in my phone!).

I am not disappointed with your reply, no, cos it explains exactly why I can't do what I wanted. D'oh. Time to find a device that allows more than 1000 caches I feel...! Thank you At least I know now and can keep transferring data to and from base camp in the interim. Any recommendations for devices that aren't as limited appreciated (and yes I am going to go and do some more research now!). Becka

Have searched archives with limited luck as sd is two characters so apols if asking newbie question that's already been answered a gazillion times... I have a garmin etrex legend hcx which I have put an 8GB micro sd card in to in the hope that I can download oodles of caches on to it and not have to worry about synching my device with a pocket query each time I go to a new area (I travel a lot). However I cannot seem to get the garmin to recognise there is a card in there and can only transfer 1000 caches to the device before it says the way point memory is full. I have searched the online and paper instructions but can't figure it out. If anyone could help I would be eternally grateful Becka
