Cannot display hints for caches downloaded to Dakota 20

I recently purchased a Garmin Dakota 20. I ran a pocket query to generate the cache and waypoint GPX files (5864155.gpx, 5864155-wpts.gpx). Then copied both to the GPX folder on the Garmin. Next powered up the GPS and viewed the cache. I could see a full description, logs, etc., but NO HINT! Looking at the GPX file, there seems to be a tag in there for the hint, e.g. <Groundspeak:encoded_hints>No need to go diving to find this one.</Groundspeak:encoded_hints>

 

Is there a setting on the Garmin I have to set to display the hint? Do I need to use third-party software to massage the GPX files before downloading to the GPS?

After a little more searching of the forums, I found my answer http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=256033&st=0&p=4418576&hl=dakota%20hint&fromsearch=1entry4418576. The GUI not always intuitive, but I'll learn it!!

 

Thank you so much for posting this link! I was just having the same problem on my new 450, and I was sure the answer was here somewhere but I was having trouble finding it. You just made my life SOOO much easier!
