+Andy and Robin Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Can anybody else out there only fit 999 waypoints on their 60cs? I delete everything and try to load 1000 waypoints and only 999 go! Why??? Quote Link to comment

+webscouter. Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I think I remember reading once that one waypoint is reserved for the Man Over Board function. Since it is an emergency feature it has to be available. Quote Link to comment

+Andy and Robin Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 I loaded the waypoints from Mapsource, two 500 wpt. pocket queries. Quote Link to comment

GeoBobC Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 The real question is why you need 1,000 waypoints. If you're that close to the limit, I suggest you load a large number of them as POIs. You will probably need to create new waypoints while using your GPS. Quote Link to comment

Also I can delete found caches as I go and log them in the pda. Quote Link to comment

'Course it is hard to get a man overboard in the middle of the forest Jim I wish you could turn off the MOB function, and let the "hold down Find button" function act as it does on the eTrex series. It brings up the waypoint page for whatever waypoint you're currently heading for. Far more useful, IMO. Edited February 11, 2009 by Prime Suspect Quote Link to comment
