+frenchtart Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I have just purchased a dakota 20, which I have managed to load some caches too and find the said caches but how do I now remove them from my device? Also is the best way to load caches by clicking on the load to GPS logo next to cache and load them all individually, or is there an easier way. Thanks Quote Link to comment

Thanks Well to answer one of your questions, I use GSAK to load caches on my 60CSx, but since I don't own a Dakota, I don't know if it works with GSAK. Quote Link to comment
Motorcycle_Mama Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Connect the device to your computer in Mass Storage Mode and delete the GPX files corresponding to the the caches. The easiest way to load caches is by using Pocket Queries. http://www.geocaching.com/pocket/ http://www.markwell.us/pq.htm Quote Link to comment

+chris-66 Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Dunno if it's different, but on my eTrex 20 I have: Settings->System->USB Mode. And USB Mass Mode is default. So I simply connect my device using an USB cable to the computer and see the device storage folders in the "my computer" folder. Quote Link to comment

(Love it-the touch screen is fantastic) I have looked on my C:/ drive for Garmin-found it, but it will not open - the message is it may have been damaged or removed. I may need to contact Garmin to find out. I don't think it came with a disc Edited December 18, 2011 by AuntGinny Quote Link to comment

Thanks Using the Send To method is the worst method to use and PQs (Pocket Queries) are the best. The Send To method creates one individual GPX file for each cache. This is undesirable because you must find the corresponding GPX file to delete found caches. Worst of all, the GPS is limited to 200 GPX files so you can only load 200 caches using the Send To method. You can load 1000 caches with each PQ and it is only 1 GPX file. You can automatically filter out found caches in PQs allowing you to simply delete the old GPX files and paste the new GPX files. All found caches are gone.
