+teepeeayy Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 My buddy and I each have a GPSMap 60C. We have an operational difference that I'd like to understand. If I hit Find-->Waypoint, I get a list of all my waypoints and the keyboard shows up at the bottom to allow me to search alphabetically. If he hits Find-->Waypoint, he does not get all his waypoints listed. He has to hit Menu and search by Symbol type. I could not find a difference in our set up, so is there a way to change his to list all the waypoints alphabetically just like mine? Quote Link to comment
+apersson850 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 He is searching near current location, maybe? Quote Link to comment

I have a 60c as well - and I too notice this occasional difference. In my experience, it is based on your frequent searches - that which determines the screen you get. Maybe it is "intuitive" programming - that is, the software "remembers" your last behavior & presents your choice accordingly - I have other programs which do this - Also - if you hit FIND twice, you WILL be presented with your last 50 finds - be they waypoints OR searches. just a guess - Quote Link to comment
Grasscatcher Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 His is probably set on "Find Nearest" instead of "Find by Name" On the Waypoint page, hit Menu then select Find By Name Quote Link to comment
+Sputnik 57 Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Yep. Take a look at questions 5 and 6 of the Waypoints section of the FAQ. Quote Link to comment
+teepeeayy Posted August 14, 2006 Author Share Posted August 14, 2006 Yep. Take a look at questions 5 and 6 of the Waypoints section of the FAQ. Nope, I checked. Find by Name same as mine. We did solve the issue, although I don't know why. The next day were playing with it again, and he hit Find--> Find, which brings up all the recent finds. When we went back one screen, all the waypoints were listed. He didn't have to search by type any more. I don't understand what we did, but we're good! Thanks for the feedback. Quote Link to comment
