Oregon 400t paperless / multi problem.

[+Pink Paisley]

My 400t doesn't render cache pages as they are on the website. I expected that it would.

 

What I see on the screen appears to be HTML and makes it difficult (or impossible) to use it for multis.

 

GCH4X1, presented me with a pile of nonsense that I couldn't read out there today.

 

I seem to have software version 3.60 / GPS software version 3.70 installed.

 

Is it me or the machine?

 

Any ideas?

I can't help you but have problems with my Oregon 400T. Maybe someone can help both of us. I bought a slightly used one off of Ebay. It has several caches entered and I can't get them deleted. Also when I am doing a route looking for caches, I get withing 20 feet of the cache and before I can find it, it goes to the next cache. Downed loaded the manuel but can't find any solution.

For starters, you can't delete caches from the front panel of the Oregon. You have to hook it up to your computer, navigate to the Garmin/GPX folder, and delete the *.gpx file(s) you have stored there.

 

While you're poking around, look at the folder Garmin and open the cache_visits.txt file. That's where your found/not-found logs are created.

 

As for the second problem - it sounds like you're using "road" navigation. It thinks you've already arrived and visited the location and are ready to move on. Recheck your settings.

You are likely looking for drive E to get to Garmin then gpx file then just delete the gpx file, and you can also delete the file that says current then start all over.
