Garmin 60csx and placed caches

[+CompuCash]

have Garmin 60csx - and using GSAK

 

I lost my old cs and bought the csx recently

the old cs used to show me my own caches so I could find them

 

the new csx does not show me the placed caches - only options are found and not found

and by name - by name does not include placed

GSAK shows loading combination of both placed and not found

 

how do I get my placed caches to show in the csx??

I would think if you went to your cache page and did a "send to gps" it would show up. As a last resort you could manually put them in. I assume you want them in a PQ. and that is the problem.

ya, I download my PQ's into GSAK - been using GSAK for years - just keeps getting better.

 

I sent ONLY my placed caches - using GSAK - shows it going out - it seems the 60csx just won't display them and that sucks. I'll try from my cache page and see what happens.

 

I'm trying to see if there is a way to mark them as found but haven't found a way yet

 

I saw it earlier on something, but there is no send to gps link/button on my own caches page

 

I figure I am missing something, but I just can't find it

You will have to download the Garmin plug in.

I'm not sure what your doing or not doing but I can send my owned caches to my 60CSx with GSAK and from the GC.com website.

 

As far as marking them as "Found" caches once loaded I have a better solution. Change the icon. That way they are not in your "Found" or on your "Need to Find" list and you can bulk deleted old/found caches without deleting your hides from the unit. I use custom icons that I have loaded and use the "Star and Ribbon" or you can use one of the standard icons already on the unit.

sorry but you lost me - what plug in?

have not heard of a plug in - can you offer some details?

 

thanks

 

added -

I got a plug in from Garmin for their own program but that was for their own software

 

added

ok - got the plug in - that works but they are not listed as my placed caches - only unfound

thanks for the response -

hmm...

 

now you got me thinking. GSAK "appeared" to upload them to the gps see more later

 

in my older 60cs I had a pine tree icon for my own caches.

 

so what do I do?

1 - delete all caches in gps

2 - set the display in GSAK to show only my own caches (double click green button)

3 - in the 60csx press find button then Geocache button.

4 - go to menu select not found - verify empty

5 - go to menu select found - verify empty

6 - in gsak send list of placed caches to gps

7 - in gps got to find GC - menu to alphabet

8 - shows empty - no one home - nada

 

---

 

to verify for myself, I set gsak for mine and not-found - total shows 697

when sending to gps, the 'dos box' shows the count going to 697

goto find alpha and none of my own caches show.

the menu has only 3 choices -

 

1 - name

2 - nearest

3 - found or not found as a toggle

 

nothing for placed caches

 

you said > my owned caches to my 60CSx with GSAK and from the GC.com website.

 

I can get them from gc but they get loaded as unfound which isn't much help

gsak is set for the park/tree icon for placed icons - there seem to only be a few icons in the gps but the tree is one

 

now having gone through all this, it is really frustrating me because I am a computer professional and I think i should know what the heck I'm doing.
