+SkipBo00 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Here is my question........ On a Oregon 450 after downloading caches from the map page,,,,, finding them and logging them found on the Oregon...... then going to the Waypoint manager they appear with a P inside a circle,,,,, they can be deleted from here.... great!!! Having found some others and logging them,,,,, They don't get transfered over to the Waypoint manager?????? not sure what the Circle P is but if the cache don't have it it does not get transfered of to the waypoint manager and has to be deleted after hooking it to the computer..... Any ideas what the Circle P is????????? Thanks Skip Quote Link to comment
+ecanderson Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Any ideas what the Circle P is????????? Added (P)arking coordinates that the owner has been good enough to include as 'additional waypoints' for his cache. Quote Link to comment
+SkipBo00 Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 (edited) No that didn't seem to matter I tried both with and without (P)arking and it didn't matter...... I was even thinking (P)remium member but that didn't matter either........ The ultimate goal here was to be able to delete caches from the Oregon without hooking it to the computer but if they don't show up in the waypoint manager they can't be deleted without the computer......

+Grimar2 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 You can simply filter out found caches in you GPS unit. No need to delete them. Quote Link to comment
savant9 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Actual geocaches, that are loaded as such and not loaded as waypoints cannot be deleted from the device without hooking up to a computer. As stated above the circle P is a parking waypoint, usually loaded when you add the XXXXXX-wpt.gpx file from a PQ. Quote Link to comment

The whole Oregon Wiki is worth a read (the manual that Garmin was too lazy to write), but if you focus a few minutes on the geocaching section here http://garminoregon.wikispaces.com/Geocaching it will be well worth your time. Covers your issue and a whole lot more. Quote Link to comment
