+SinCityGoonies Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Has anybody else had a problem marking a cache as found with their Explorist 500LE. I always download my caches as a .loc file using Mapsend lite v2.00 and put them into a file for caches in that area. Once I find a cache I mark it as found and it will sometimes disappear from the list (good) and other times it wont disappear (bad). I also have had it disappear from the list just to reappear after finding a few more caches and marking them as found. Is there something I am doing wrong or does my 500LE have a problem. Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment
+kilka.hamsa Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 I have a similar problem. I am using *.gs files and most of the times it does not seem to save the "Found" state of the caches after I turn the unit off. It has the latest firmware version installed. I would also like to hear an answer to this issue. Quote Link to comment
+Starruby Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I have an eXplorist 600 with the latest firmware, and mine does the same thing. When I mark a cache as found, it will display with a tick on the icon, but after power off/on only some of the found caches remain marked as found, and therefore excluded from the GOTO list. My auto power off doesn't reliably work either. My unit was returned to the Magellan agent in Australia several times with this problem. Eventually they gave me a new unit, but it also displayed the same problem. Just a quirk in the system I guess - just don't expect a firmware fix! Love the unit otherwise ...

NightTracker Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I have the Explorist 500NA and I have similar problems with the "FOUND" caches. Mine doesn't unmark them when i turn the unit on/off, i find that mine sometimes unmarks them when i do a update on the .gs file, but there are other times when I can update the .gs file a few times over and they remain marked as found. I too will be interested to hear if someone knows what the problem is. Quote Link to comment
+hukilaulau Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I have the LE and the "mark cache as found" works perfectly(.gs files). The only time the cache reappears on the list is if I pull it up again from the "found" list (Like when I'm lost and want to go back to a familiar spot). Sorry, I can't think of a reason why your problem is happening... Quote Link to comment
