oregon 400t

[+gramacindy]

i recently got the oregon 400t and have several geo-cahes loaded into it, (ok, a lot) we are heading to Missouri, via Iowa for Christmas and I would really like to load more geos into it... what's up. i only have aprox 200 loaded now and it claims to have 1000 possible geos. Also, how do i delete found or unnessesary geos?

I'm guessing you are loading the caches one at a time using "Send to GPS". Every time you do this it creates a single gpx file on the Oregon and the Oregon is limited to a maximum of 200 gpx files.

 

Most people run pocket queries and load these onto the Oregon. A pocket query is a file that contains up to 500 caches. This will allow you to easily get to the 2000 geocache limit of the Oregon using only a few files.

BTW, in order to delete the files that are already on your Oregon look in [drive]:\Garmin\GPX when your Oregon is connected to your computer, you should see a bunch of files called GCXXXXX.gpx where XXXXX is the cache id of the caches you've loaded.

This should help as it is very confusing at times getting exactly what you want. Getting geocaches along a route is very helpful on a trip but that is another lesson.
