Oregon 450 City Navigator 2010 POI issue

[+jeepdelfuego]

This weekend I noticed that whenever I search for food & drink / all categories on my Oregon 450 that it takes FOREVER to give me a list. My wife has the same City Navigator 2010 map on her Garmin Oregon 200 and her unit gives her a list in a moment. I originally attributed it to the 450 being a slower unit. Then, I did the same search without any geocaches loaded on it and it gave me a list instantly. I have just short of 5,000 geocaches loaded on my unit and my wife has 2,000 geocaches loaded. I'm not sure if I like this trade-off.

 

Anybody have any ideas?

One of my friends just told me to not keep any geocaches on my unit. Ugh, that's not an option.

I can't believe nobody has had any issues with this. I really don't want to load less geocaches on my unit.

What has Garmin tech support suggested?

I suspect the vast majority of us run a separate automotive GPS and use the POI lists that come with those -- hence, never turn the ones on the handhelds, or note performance issues when viewing them.

Have you done the recent 3.52beta update? It's supposed to fix the POI hangup.

I like the 3.52 beta update, but it doesn't speed up my POI issue. Today I am going to take some maps off the unit to see if that works. If it doesn't, I will call Garmin on Monday. I have the marine maps, city navigator (full install), topo2008 (3/4 of U.S.), and a couple of other misc. maps loaded on the unit. I don't have them all enabled at the same time. I have different profiles set to view each map. I guess I am a bit too map crazy and geocache (4500+) happy.

I have the exact same issue on my Oregon 450. Running v5.0. Tried removing all of the caches, has not changed the performance. One odd thing I have noticed is that you can still search while it is loading the list, and that works quite quickly.
