+wingryder Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 When I navigate to a geocache with my Dakota 20 I can only see part of the description. (first page) Is this a result of the gxp file that was downloaded from geocaching.com?? or is there a way to view the rest of the description? The text ends in mid sentence so I know there is more I cannot view. Same is true for viewing logs.. only one screen or front screen? thanks wingyder Quote Link to comment
+eusty Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Sounds like a dodgy GPX file, maybe worth re-downloading it. Quote Link to comment
+Bear and Ragged Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) There is a limit, a lot of Earthcache descriptions hit the limit and often miss off the requirements to claim the find, when viewed on the GPS! (GSAK has a macro to solve it for Earthcaches!) Edited January 13, 2013 by Bear and Ragged Quote Link to comment
+wingryder Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 Thanks to both for your input. Been away from caching for a while and do not know about earthcaches. The gpx file I have been testing with is nearly two years old. Just upgraded to the Dakota 20 mainly for paperless capabilities. Not currently a premium member but will renew and see if fresh gpx files solves the problem. I hope it does.. as displaying only part of the description is not what I was upgrading for. In fact at this point I think the old 76S is the better receiver but I hope that proves to be incorrect. wingryder Quote Link to comment

Delete any files loaded as a Basic Member, before adding Premium Member files. Quote Link to comment
