How many caches can you load into a colorado 300

[+bmynbr]

I have like 250-300 caches loaded into my colorado 300, and it says too many caches and will only show me like 90-100.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Dave

The max for both the oregon and colorado is 200 gpx files or 2000 caches.

 

Exceed either the max gpx or caches and you will have problems.

 

Since you are a premium member just load your PQ... thats 1 gpx file with upto 500 caches in that single file.

You'll need to plug the GPS into your computer and clean up the gpx files in \Garmin\GPX which contain geocaches . You have exceeded one of the limits that savant9 mentioned.

As Savant9 indicated, you probably used the "Send to GPS" option on GC to load into your GPSr. Every time one of these is sent, it is another GPX, rather than doing a PQ.

 

Another thing that can cause problems when you are reaching near the limit, although probably not an issue here, is child waypoints. If you do use these and also use GSAK, there is a macro there that gives you the option to load child waypoints, your placed caches and/or your found caches as waypoints which then does not impact how many geocaches you can load and is only limited by the memory of the unit.

I think you meant to say the GSAK macro loads child waypoints as POI's.

Mine has 1000 caches. You can create a file using GSAK and then send it to your Colorado. It works great. I also load POI's using mapsource. Have not found limit yet..
