GOF and Bacall Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Check with Garmin. Quote Link to comment
+GeoGeeBee Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Go to The Garmin Chirp page, and click the tab that says "Compatible Devices." Compatible products for this item are: Dakota® 20 GPSMAP® 62s GPSMAP® 62st GPSMAP® 78s GPSMAP® 78sc Oregon® 300 Oregon® 400c Oregon® 400i Oregon® 400t Oregon® 450 Oregon® 450t Oregon® 550 Oregon® 550t Quote Link to comment
+Team GPSaxophone Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Software and Compatibility The only chirp-compatible units are the Garmin GPSMAP62/78, Oregon (300, 400 and x50) and the Dakota 20. The Colorado does not seem to be supported even though it features the wireless ANT protocol which chirp is based on. The Colorado is supported in the latest firmware update, but according to this early review of Chirp, the eTrex line isn't even mentioned. Quote Link to comment
+Avernar Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 The Colorado is also compatible but can only receive, and at a greatly reduced range. It can't program them. Quote Link to comment
+Nikkeltje Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 Thanks for all the replies.. Then it's not possible for me to find those caches Quote Link to comment
+MontyFam Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 But if you team up with a local cacher with a chirp enabled GPSr you may be able to find them Quote Link to comment
+Borst68 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 (edited) Go to The Garmin Chirp page, and click the tab that says "Compatible Devices." Compatible products for this item are: Dakota® 20 GPSMAP® 62s GPSMAP® 62st GPSMAP® 78s GPSMAP® 78sc Oregon® 300 Oregon® 400c Oregon® 400i Oregon® 400t Oregon® 450 Oregon® 450t Oregon® 550 Oregon® 550t Interesting. I have the Dakota 20. Is there a firmware upgrade to get the chirp to function? I am not aware of how to get the chirp to work. I have read the manual and didn't see any mention of chirp. ETA: Found a video on the chirp and found the settings on my Dakota. Edited March 22, 2011 by Borst68 Quote Link to comment
+pppingme Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 The Colorado is supported in the latest firmware update, but according to this early review of Chirp, the eTrex line isn't even mentioned. The eTrex units don't have the hardware to support the ANT protocol, so they can never be supported directly. I guess in theory, an ANT dongle could be built that plugs into the eTrex, but I doubt that would ever happen. Quote Link to comment
+hzoi Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Compatible products for this item are: ...Oregon® 400t Glad I checked this thread. I had no idea our Oregon worked with these. Now we just need to go find one! Quote Link to comment

+uneakone Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 The Montana series is also compatable and can also program the chirp. Quote Link to comment
WrongwayUK Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 The etrex does do chirp but only the etrex 30 model. That's one that also does data transfer between compatible gpsr's. I think that's ANT+ protocol. Quote Link to comment
