Did you ever sort this issue out ? I have an Oregon 700 and it has played up ever since I purchased it for a small fortune. Fortunately I got our Oregon 500 fixed so now use that. The problem with my useless Oregon 700 is that even though I can load my Wifi address or pair the GPS with my i-phone and I can register the Oregon 700 and pair with geocaching, I can't download pocket queries or lists correctly, for some reason I get about 30 random caches locked in the gps. I have tried the on board reset, I have tried a factory reset, I have tried removing the batteries for a day, but still get the same problem.
I have spent hours on line chat to Garmin, I have sent notes to Garmin but still get nowhere. I has got so dire that I even tried to load caches via UB cable as I do with my Oregon 500 but the useless thing wont even do that. The only way I can find a geocache on this Oregon 700 is to type in the co-ordinates ........... I may as well just dig out my very old Garmin E-Trex. Very dissapointed with this device.
Has anyone else got the same issues or can anyone help with any other ideas to resolve ??
