+da Bush Man Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 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? Quote Link to comment
