+ToonAl Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 I am having trouble with my Garmin reading the GPX files. A couple of weeks back I noticed that I had loaded some gpx files on my garmin but it told me none had been loaded. I thought it strange but I reloaded a some new gpx files and everything seemed to work. Tonight the same thing has happened but I cannot get with reloading or any method any geocaches onto my Garmin. Does anyone have any ideas. I know this is the general Canadian forum and there is probably a forum or place to get help with this but I am pressed for time because I have BFL tomorrow night and I was hoping to get it fixed before then. Surely there is a Canadian genius out there that can help. Thanks, Quote

Does anyone have any ideas. I don't know what you tried so far, but that has happened to me in the past. I load my gpx files and when I jump in the car there is nothing on it. I find that I need to actually remove the batteries once (I know this sounds like voodoo) and then try reloading the gpx files. That usually works for me. Give it a shot, if there is something really wrong you might have to rely on getting some warranty work done, but that will take a while. I have worked with Garmin's online/telephone assistance and they can guide you through a soft reset and some other troubleshootiing methods. Quote
+Bear and Ragged Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Which GPS? Are the caches more than 50 miles from you? Search by Name, rather than Nearest. Quote
Pup Patrol Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 Not knowing which model, this is a stab in the dark: did you check under "waypoints"? The suggestion from Da Bear about the caches being more than 50 miles away is the other definite possibility. Quote
