No cache icons on Garmin Oregon 600t map

[+TeamGeoduck]

Just got my Garmin Oregon 600t in the mail today, thanks to a great online deal and my birthday. Anyhoo, loaded up a GPX into the unit, just as I did with my Oregon 450, and the cache list looks fine (a list of caches show with all the details when I search for them), but there are no caches on the map. The map shows the additional waypoints (parking, trail head, etc) but not the caches. I typically search for the next cache using the map instead of the "find nearest cache" button. I tried the removing(delete) the GPX file from the unit, restart the the unit, shut down, and reload the GPX, but still the same result. Am I missing a setting? The Oregon 450 wont show caches after you expand the map over three miles, so I tried that as well. Thought, fixes?

Thanks!

I don't have an Oregon 600 but other Garmin units I have are able to make User Points and Map Points visible at various zoom levels. Go into Map Setup perhaps and look for these settings.

Great, thanks. I wend to setup map--> Advanced Setup--> Zoom Levels--> Geocaches, and was able to make the change to 3 miles there. Thanks for the inspiration!

Set it to 500 miles, zoom out all the way, and bask in the glory of all the geocaches! Well, it's what I did at one point anyways... Glad you got it figured out.
