PN-40 making longer entries


Recommended Posts

We have a PN-40 and find that sometimes after sending to the gps, the descriptions are so long we don't get the whole thing. Recently, it cut off a code we needed to make the find. Is there a way to have the gps accept longer descriptions?

No, but you can edit the description to include the full title if you know about this ahead of time.

With the release of firmware version 2.5 (the geocaching update) the comment field was increased from 800 characters to 15,000. Be sure that you have the latest firmware (currently 2.6.xxxx) and that should help.

If you already are up to date... well, sometimes there's no accounting for prolific cache placers. :unsure: You could use Cache Register to prioritize the fields, edit the description in Topo USA before sending it to the GPS, or use GSAK to customize the .gpx file.

 

I hope that this helps!
