+eusty Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 When out caching my step-son wants to hold the GPSr (Colorado) to find the caches..but I like to find out the route, then I can't moan when we get lost! I usually let him hold my phone, but often the batteries die or I'm panicking every time we go over a stile or rocks!! I've managed to get an eTrex for £20 off ebay (result!) which should keep him happy Anyway back to the questions!! - When you download waypoints using GSAK does it delete any existing ones? It's just it only has a 500 limit and there doesn't seem to be an option to remove the ones on the unit in GSAK. - Has anyone updated the firmware using a USB-serial converter? I was hoping it would be in the post today, but now it maybe Monday Quote Link to comment
+Bear and Ragged Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Always best to 'Delete' all waypoints. No point in looking for a cache that has been archived! A long time since I had a Yellow. From memory... Find > Waypoints > Delete all. Quote Link to comment
+eusty Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 I see delete all the waypoints from the unit before uploading Quote Link to comment
+jacob501 Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Dude! I wish I had an eTex!! That sounds awesome! Does it come with preloaded cowboy icons and a builtin lasso?!?! Quote Link to comment
+CacheFreakTim Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I have not updated it with the usb/serial converter but as long as your computer can see the device it should work fine. Just make sure you get the Garmin communicator and it will work just fine. As far as the way point I do not believe that it deletes them automatically. I think it may overwrite the ones with the same name but I always delete them using the method Bear and Ragged stated. Quote Link to comment
