Hi, I'm interested in your opinions about complaining about a poor log. I placed a cache yesterday: worked on it for weeks, I think it's a nice hide and certainly from my perspective, a lot of work went into it. Someone found it today and all I got in the log was "That was a little different. TFTC".

That's interesting consider 1.8 is completely identical to 1.7 except for the version number. (only newer GC had 1.8 and Magellan never offered 1.8 to the public). I wonder if the updater thinks 1.8 is an invalid version and won't update the unit. There are ways I know for sure where you could get ver 2.15 on it but if Magellan told you to send it back, send it back and get a new one. I've definitely got version 1.7 and it won't update for me.

I've had no luck upgrading using the Apple Mac version, I get an error box with the message: 'Incorrect GPS device connected for this upgrade!' I've downloaded the upgrade twice and the same error message pops up. Has anyone had any luck updating the GC software using a Mac? Thanks.

Password to download the update? What's up with that: I don't have a password I don't think. The update doesn't appear on the Australian Magellan website, we're still on version 1.7.

I got a GC this week and run a Mac. Previously I've just been using my iPhone with the Geocaching.com app which has been wonderful, I wanted the GC for additional coverage, but for ease of use the app is fantastic. I ran my first ever pocket query, which saved as a folder named '9921228'. Unzipped it into two files, one with the extension -wpts.gpx (waypoints) and the other just .gpx. I dragged these into the corresponding folders on the GC. Worked really well, I now have 1000 caches loaded close to home. No pictures came across however, which I understand is par for the course with the .gpx files. Any ideas how to transfer pictures to the GC using an Apple Mac?? Cheers!
