On my 60CSx I was able to change the found geocache icon to the smiley icon. Is there a way to do this on the 62s or on an Oregon? Detailed steps?

So you use multiple GPX files? I've just been combining my databases into a single GPX in GSAK. Haven't tried more than 2000 yet though.

Awesome but... HOW?? I would LOVE to get rid of that dang annowing alert!

I just traded my 550t that I've had for almost exactly 1 year (abt 2000 caches?) for the 62s. First, I never could get the dadgum touch screen to function properly with my fingers and I'm not even fat! While the receiver is excellent on the 550t, the frustration of trying to navigate between a geocache you're locked into and a waypoint, Geocaching active maps and compases just DROVE ME NUTS! Last saturday I was out caching and I just couldn't get the darned touch screen to switch from one screen back to the compass and just squeezing the thing in my hand the touch screen cracked! Then I couldn't even mark a cache as found nor select another. So.. Now I've used the 62 for one full caching day and it's just a dream. The navigation (menu) is far better and easier to use (especially if you started with a 60CSx) and so far the receiver seems to be jsut as good as the 60CSx and 550t.

To have the 62 display a cache name instead of the GC code you first want to check to verify that that is the setting on the GPS. Main Menu --> Setup --> Geocaches --> Geocache list = Show Names And in GSAK, set the Name field to %name or %smart To delete the geocaches, you either check the box in GSAK to Clear before sending or you need to connect the 62 to your computer and manually delete the GPX file under Garmin\GPX

Awesome Jen! Let's hope placers will actually read the KB. Thanks!

Get real people...regardless of how I feel about where you spent your weekend, let's not abuse the game here by using it as a soapbox. Right there with ya Robert. Same goes for "On my way home from church/mass/sunday school" etc...

I'd like to see you do that on an eTrex or 60CSx!

While I disagree with the post about hating the new preview, I do admit that I don't like the fact that the option to click on the map no longer works. I was living with it for a while by right clicking on it to open the link in a new window. I actually like the new map preview! And if one could see other geocaches on that map, maybe opening a new map using the clutter on the left wouldn't be necessary at all. It's pretty cool to be able to pan and zoom on the preview.

Click the Geocaching.com Google Map link to the left. That's what you're looking for. The widget is a 3rd party element from google maps, and clicking the map is a self-contained function for panning, and double clicking for zooming. I think the next best bet for what you want is a link below (outside) the widget to click that would open the GC.com map - but that link already exists to the left of the widget (noted above). Hard to break old habbits. I don't use those links. They are just clutter I can do without.

Ok.. Same in FF. It's broken there too.

Yup! It's broken in IEv8 on Wondows 7 Pro. I like the new map and the ability to pan and zoom but it would be nice to be able to click on THAT map to open it in a new window like before the previous map breakage. I haven't tried this in FF.

Unless I'm hiking more than 5 miles, I take cash. Subway's TackyHell's, Burger joints, and even mini-marts usually have something to tide you over.

PLEASE DON'T DO IT! While I can think of a few worse locations, playgrounds are pretty near the top.

I prefer BBQ. http://www.rattlesnakerecipe.us/

Just be sure to check the local laws regaiding snakes. In California, you need a fishing license. They are actually quite tasty! http://www.rattlesnakerecipe.us/

Yea! WoW! Seems to have happened right after the site being unavailable this AM.

How about the Garmin Oregon 550t? It seems a shame that older GPSr's like the 60CSx or even the eTrex Legend are so much better in that arena.

Your developers forgot to fix the Visit Log And they broke the link to google maps on the cache page in IE.

I have the same issues above but I have found that the problem with the profile summary in IE can be eased by holding the ctrl button and slightly adjusting your scroll wheel on your mouse. Try one click in one direction or another.

And I see now that this is being addressed in another thread. My bad..

Just click "nearest caches" instead, and use the map at the top right of the page. I suspect the individual maps were creating slowness somewhere. This site is full of awesome, you just need to seek it out. apples and oranges. If I want the list, I'll click on the find nearest as suggested but that is not the desired outcome. The maps are working with FF just not IE. That's just poor testing.

Works with firefox but not IE. Developers forgot to test for compatibility.

It would appear that we can no longer click on the map on a cache page (Lower right area on cache page) to view caches on the area using google maps. I can right click and open link but not click on it to open a new window as before. To be precise, when clicking on the lower right map on a cache page, you used to get a pan & zoom map with all of the caches in the area on the map. The image is there and the link can be manually opened so the feature works, the mouse click is just not functional. Tested with two systems Windows 7 Pro and Windows 7 home both using IEv8 Will try FF next.
