found caches not shown

[+badger10]

I have a 62stc and I found about a dozen caches recently. When I got home I tried to find them (to log them) in my recently found caches folder. That folder was empty. I restarted the gps several times with no better results. I hooked up the gps to my pc and was able to find them by going thru all the folders via the pc. Any ideas why they will not show up?

there's a recently found caches folder? The GPX files don't move, they're still in the GPX folder on your device. What you want is the "geocache_visits.txt" file. Upload that into fieldnotes at geocaching.com and then you can log your finds without having to search through your caches.

Garmin's have a filter setting to limit the displays and listing according to your preferences. By default, the filter is set to show only unfound caches. If you change that to Show All, your found caches will show up again.

I have already logged my caches but I will try the field note route when next I cache.

I have not changed any settings or options on my gps so I would think nothing should have changed. I went to my geocache list and decided to FIND a cache I had recently found. I then went to my recent finds screen and it is now there. No other caches are listed though. Must have been a glitch?
