+geosibisa Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Hi. Been playing with my new toy today Oregon 550, software is 3.70. Managed to get caches into device but having trouble updating geocache.com with my finds. I have read quite a lot about it but just wondered what to expect, am I doing anything wrong? Marked cache as found on 550. 550 displays it as a found cache. "open box". Come back and upload cachefound.txt file as instructed but it doesn't seem to change any detail in Geocache.com log. Am I expecting too much? Quote Link to comment

Still alot easier. Quote Link to comment

Oh and thanks for replying to my other posting regarding maps. As you can see I bought the 550 instead of the 450. Managed to get some OSM free maps loaded. Just learning to drive it now... Lots to play with..Happy hunting.. osi Quote Link to comment

That way the whole log shows up in field notes and all you have to do is click the log button. Quote Link to comment
