+DragonflyTotem Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I have a new Garmin Oregon 550T and have been using it for about a week now. I went to two sites this morning and when using the Geocaching mode was unable to find either of those sites in a search results. I knew they were there, and I had my iPhone handy and used that instead. But even though I was literally at GZ for both of those caches, Garmin didn't find them. I could find lots of other nearby caches, including ones I've previously found. Even rebooted just in case that was an issue. I've not been to either caches before and hadn't previously found them, their not mine....so I'm clueless why Garmin didn't pick them up. Any guesses as to why Garmin didn't pick these two caches up? Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+Rockin Roddy Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Maybe they were new caches and you didn't have the info when you loaded the caches to your GPS? How do you load your GPS with caches? Quote Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 What makes you so certain they were loaded into the Oregon? Quote Link to comment
+DragonflyTotem Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 What makes you so certain they were loaded into the Oregon? Well that's probably a real "duh" on my part. I thought that I'd loaded all the caches from my area but this is just probably me not realizing that I'd missed these two. Sometimes the simple answers are the ones on spot (much better than my theory that an alien race had set up shop on one of the GPS satellites and was doing after hours programming to ensure that those two sites wouldn't show up just as I needed them....). Will check them again. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
+Rockin Roddy Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 If you're not using PQs as a way to load caches to the unit, I would highly recommend them, it'll make your caching world much easier!! They're quite simple to set up, even a slow tech illiterate like myself figured them out. Now, GSAK...ouch! Quote Link to comment
+shutle64 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I had a problem one time with two Colorado 400T's. I loaded the same gpx file on both unit's SD cards. One unit had less caches than the other one. Swapped cards between units and the problem switched units. Re-formatted the SD card that had the problem and tried again. Problem solved.
