  1. Moving some of the BIG WP cache-limit over to the small Geocache limit would solve that in an instant...Garmin? As this discussion proves, we dont need 100's of WP's (in the device's cache memory). Everybody is now working around the problem via GPX editing (in Basecamp or another)... funny..
  2. You hit the nail on the head. The CO probably didn't include them as child waypoints which is pretty annoying especially on one that is a tour. The original question was not really clear about whether he was talking about hidden of visible points. If it is only a couple I just enter but had one last year that was a tour with seven and none as child. I used Mapsource to mark them and then added them to the GPS. I think some replies didn't get the problem. So here's my version. When you download a GC with waypoints into your Etrex, it will show as 1 coordinate with all the info (description, puzzels, hints, log etc) in the "Geocache" and all the included waypoints are imported as loose individual "WP's", without the GC info. Now you have for example a GC puzzle with 15 descriptions of trees, and 15 waypoints where you have to spot the correct tree! You have to switch to the puzzel via the menu (4 clicks) at each of the 15 WP's! And than 15 switches back to go to the next WP. It gets annoying soon. Now imagine you have 10 of those multi's loaded on your Etrex because you like those puzzles soo much..(so now you have 150 WP's! to choose from wich all look the same!) Can you see the problem? You'll have RSI in no time.. As far as I know its just a bug (at least in the Etrex). They should have made it possible to add multiple waypoints whithin a "geocache" (ie with all the info) , instead of the possibility to MANUALY add just ONE "next stadium". Its already in the GPX file anyway, why not load in in the "geocache" itself...? Any suggestions anyone? TFTR(eply)
