Caches logged as DNF appear as found on the GPS


Recommended Posts

I have a Garmin Dakota 20 and run a regular pocket query for unfound caches to update my unit from time to time. It seems if I attempt to find a cache and cannot find it, I log my DNF, my GPS shows the cache as not found. Later, when I eventually refresh my GPS with a refreshed pocket query (GPX file), which includes my DNF log, the GPS now shows the cache as found (when viewing the map)!

 

Any thoughts why this might be the case? I haven't tried to digest the XML content of the file, but I have to imagine something in there is fooling the GPS into thinking it is a found cache. Don't know if its a problem with the GPX file, or with the GPS unit. Anybody have a similar issue?

 

thanks
