If you are transferring them using the LOC file, you won't get the full set of information. As a premium member you have access to Pocket Queries which is the best way to get a large lot of caches to your device. Just take the GPX file that you get e-mailed, and drop it in your X:\Garmin\GPX directory (where x: is the drive letter on your computer for your GPS when connected in Mass Storage Mode).

+FollowMeChaps Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I believe you need to select the cache in question (go to) before you can see the hints, etc. Quote Link to comment
+arcs Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Also I found if I use mapsource to transfer caches, the info doesn't show up. Howver if I use Basecamp or just drag the gpx files onto the gps, everything shows. I'm just learning this thing. Mines a 550 but I suspect they behave the same. Quote Link to comment
