HSF Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Ok...Here is the deal. I have a Magellan eXplorist 500 and have a 2gig SD card in it. I have a few different geocache files saved on there. Most are a few kb. I did have a large one that I downloaded many many points into it a .gs file that is 83kb. I still have room on the card (it is not full). When I go to active setup to make that file active, I recieve an error that states: "Some Geocache data can't be read due to size limitation" Does anyone know what the size limitation is? I have contacted Magellan and am waiting to hear...and waiting...and waiting.... Anyone with any ideas or similar problems? I know that I can try to split up the file, but I would view that as a last ditch effort. Thanks in advance!! HSF Quote Link to comment
+High IQ Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 (edited) I believe the limit is the number of geocaches not the actual size (as in megabytes). How many caches do you have in the file? Edited February 1, 2007 by High IQ Quote Link to comment
HSF Posted February 1, 2007 Author Share Posted February 1, 2007 Upwards of 750ish...... (I didnt think that there was that many!!!) Quote Link to comment
+High IQ Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 That's the problem for sure. You'll have to break it up into smaller files. Quote Link to comment
+embra Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 (edited) Limits: 200 geocache POIs per .gs file 500 regular POIs per .upt file, 200 of which can have comments Edited February 1, 2007 by embra Quote Link to comment
+JohnnyVegas Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I keep several cache files in my Explorist 500. I break them down by geographic location. Each file is crated with a PQ that I also have in my pocket PC I have files for Sacramento, San Francisco, Davis, San Diego and so one. I just bring up the file that reflects the city I am in at the time. I keep each file to about 150 caches, there is not much chance that I will ever need more than that in a day or two. You can also set for file to reflect cache type, terrain etc. Quote Link to comment
