  1. Thanks for your input. On the gpsr it is in capital, inern and sd card (are the same). But it suddenly worked, so keeping an eye on it.
  2. Not on the 700 (as you already know ) Trying to reproduce your freezes, I had put a gpx on the gpsr, but: When a generated gpx (gsak or pq, not live) is put on the sd card (under garmin\gpx) the gpx file is not recognised so there are no caches on the unit. When I move it to the internal memory then the caches are available. Can anyone check this?
  3. I'm very satisfied with unit when used for geoaching (mainly). Get back with you findings please
  4. Correct, and if you then select a geocache on the gpsr it will download the full information when you still have connection.
  5. I Live in Belgium so I have always connection, so for me it is usefull. And indeed it would be better if it had the full data when using geocaching live. But in "emergency" it would work for me.
  6. Ok, to clear some thing out: connection needed: To load 25 caches live "in the field" To load the conntent of a earlier generated PQ on the geocaching server. You can use live geocaching on the gpsr to load that content. At that moment the description and the logs are not on the gpsr. No connection needed: When you want to navigate to a cache that is received that way. There will be no description and nog logs. Connection needed: When you want the description an the logs when you select a geocache obtained by one of the two ways. Note: when you put a gpx file on the gpsr by cable (a gpx made in gsak or a PQ) then all the info is automatically on the gpsr. So no connection needed to read the despription or the logs.
  7. But once the pq is on the gpsr, you can always select GO and go geocaching, the only thing is that you don't have the description and the logs if there is no data/wifi connection. I went out geocaching yesterday but something went wrong and the gpx was not on the gpsr, lucky to have live geocaching on the gpsr And the smartphone stays in my pocket, the mails and sms are shown and are fully redable on the gpsr.
  8. When you are downloading a live pq, then you have cell service. So what is the problem then when you want to go to a cache en only then the description/logs are loaded? It would of course be better if it would load everything in one time.
  9. Great to hear about the accuracy. Looking forward for your testing results.
  10. Had previously the Oregon650 (still in use for trips on bicycle) and it was so off when geocaching! So I bought the Montana 680. So for me the most important question: what about precision when geocaching?
