+sequens vitae mortem Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 (edited) Hi, I use my Garmin Colorado to physically seek out a cache, but I love having the coordinates in my Nuvi also because it reduces the need for lots of sudden stops and U-turns. The directions are easier to follow than constantly staring at the Colorado, but I am having some coordinate adding and deleting problems. I know how to add all my caches to my Garmin Nuvi 360 with GSAK, but I have no idea how to delete them all at once without deleting my other favorite coordinates added. Does anyone know of a secret, macro, or program that I can use to add and delete only cache coordinates? Re-adding all my saved coordinates every go-around or deleting the caches by hand is getting very old. I have tried to use an SD card, but I have no idea how to make sure that I'm adding the coordinates to the card and not the Nuvi itself. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

Motorcycle_Mama Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 The Waypoints can't be loaded to the SD card, BUT you can load the caches to the nuvi as Custom POIs using Garmin's POI Loader software. Then it would a a simple matter of deleting the POI.GPI to delete all the Custom POIs. BTW, once they are loaded to the nuvi a Waypoints, the unit can't distinguish them from the other Waypoints.

Oh my goodness, thank you so much! I had no idea the POI loader software even existed! It's made my life so much better. I got it to work on my future in-laws' Nuvi 260 coupled with a macro I found from GSAK. I won't get a chance to test it on my 360 until tomorrow when my fiance gets back from a business trip. Thank you, thank you! By the way, for anyone else is wondering about this, I stumbled on an excellent paperless caching tutorial that helps a lot with your nuvi and with GSAK. It will help newbies more than advanced users, but it's worth a look. Garmin GPS: True Paperless Caching Quote Link to comment
Motorcycle_Mama Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Yes, there are a great number of discussions on the forums on the macros. You may not need to do all that if you already have the data on your Colorado. But it's always nice to have a backup and have additional data on the nuvi. Quote Link to comment
