+BoomerFZ1 Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I did a pocket querry of 500, loaded the gpx into GSAK and sent them to my 60cs. But it only shows about 50. What the heck am I doin'? Quote Link to comment
+Miragee Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Did you use the GPS button on the toolbar in GSAK to load the caches from your filtered database? Quote Link to comment
+BoomerFZ1 Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 Ahhh...I wonder if I had "Settings" f'ed up...lemme try again. Quote Link to comment
+Sputnik 57 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 You have the 60CS set to "Show Nearest". With waypoints listed, press MENU and change to "Find by Name." They'll all be there. More in questions 5 and 6 of the Waypoints Section of the FAQ. Quote Link to comment
+BoomerFZ1 Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 NOPE!!! Still only showing around 50 caches!!! What am I doin' wrong? Lemme try this with EasyGPS...see if it's GSAK. Quote Link to comment
+BoomerFZ1 Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 Okay...this is freakin' me out. Both EasyGPS and GSAK are tellin' me that they've sent 496 waypoints to the 60cs. But when I click the find button and check I can actually count only 50 waypoint and/or caches. Is there some setting in my unit that's only allowing my to either show or accept so many waypoints?

+Miragee Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 It isn't GSAK, unless you only have 50 caches in the filtered database. Change the setting to Search by Name, instead of Nearest. You will find all of them there. I have the Vista C, so I can't tell you the exact button sequence, but my Vista C displays the waypoints the same way. Quote Link to comment
+Thrak Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 You can only see 50 - that's how it works. As stated above you can set it to show "by name" and then you can see all of them in alphabetical order. Otherwise you will get the 50 closest to you. Quote Link to comment
+BoomerFZ1 Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 Hey Miragee, you ROCK!!! That did it. I guess when you do a search by nearest is only shows the nearest 50 or so? But that did do it. Thanks a bunch...I wouldn't have slept at all. Quote Link to comment
+BoomerFZ1 Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 Thanks Thrak...I appreciate it. Still learning the unit and as most men, I'm often loath to pick up the manual. Quote Link to comment
+Miragee Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Manual . . . what manual? (See, it is true for us women too . . . ) Quote Link to comment
+Sputnik 57 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 umm. ok. never mind. Quote Link to comment
+Thrak Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I read the manual and still ended up asking the same question you asked. That's how I knew the answer. Quote Link to comment
+RocketMan Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 umm. ok. never mind. Sometimes it takes a few times for some things to sink in Quote Link to comment

Thanks a bunch...I wouldn't have slept at all. Hate to point out the obvious (and Sputnik was too polite) but if your read the original post by Sputnik he was the first to give you the answer you were looking for. Perhaps in all your frustration you overlooked this. The FAQ that Sputnik links to really is a must read for all 60c/s owners. I humbly suggest you give it a good read, then you might run in to less "frustrating" situations. Quote Link to comment

+bwick99 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Still learning the unit and as most men, I'm often loath to pick up the manual. Don't do it. It is the worst manual I have ever read. After you read it you will want to return the gps. Quote Link to comment

+BoomerFZ1 Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 Yeah...I actually didn't refresh before I replied. I'm really sorry...never happen again. Lemme check out this thread on the 60cs. Quote Link to comment
+scottjl Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I know some times when I try to download a lot of data it gets stuck or some are missing. It helps if you shake the cable now and then so the coordinates flow through easier, or if your GPS is lower than your PC is when downloading (or raise the GPS higher than the PC when uploading to the PC so the data can go that way easier). Don't forget to wear you foil hat too. Quote Link to comment
