I usually around 300 on the device. I add them all individually with gpx files. I have never used pocket queries. Is there a good site you can recommend or an FAQ? Thanks for the battery life info. I am not sure how other devices can go for months without battery charges when this thing seems to eat batteries too.

Hi all, I transfer the gpx files from geocaching.com. I verify the files are in the /garmin/gpx folder. I disconnect the unit, check and sure enough they are there. Next day, head out to find caches only to find they are not on the gps unit. When I look in the /garmin/gpx folder, they are still there, though. So, following the advice of others, I deleted all the gpx files and tried again. Same thing. First they would show up on the gps, and the next day they wouldn't. I do take out the batteries between use. I am new. I have searched the forum and found these two threads related to my problem: http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=269939 http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=306571 Any ideas? Also, what sort of battery life should I expect from normal alkaline batteries? Is it unrealistic to expect a week in standby? Thanks all! Tried contacting Garmin. That went nowhere. Shame, too, since the gps is a nice one. Kristopher
