Etrex Help


Recommended Posts

Hi!

 

Is there anyone that knows the maximum number of waypoints (GC****) that can be loaded to an etrex? (And is willing to reveal the answer!)

 

IF I remove the GC part and leave the **** can I get more waypoints in (as they are no longer all stored under 'G' in the E-H section?

 

Thanks in anticipation!

Top tip: Don't put 500 waypoints on else if you're doing a multi etc you won't be able to fit any more.

A good tip too!

 

I don't put in more than 490 (unfound) these days. These leaves room for multi's and also for saving 'average' readings, (although from memory the Etrex doesn't have this facility).

 

:D

One warning. I have found that using my yellow eTrex with a large number of waypoints can confuse the nearest waypoints function and cause some to be omitted.

 

I tend to take many readings when placing a cache over several days and can end up with dozens of pints within a few square meters so probably my fault.

The Etrex Vista C does have averaging, The Venture doesn't... don't know about the others!

 

I like the idea of Alistair ending up with dozens of pints within a few square metres, LOL. He'll end up seeing lots of caches after that lot! :D
