summerwinter Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I recently got a Garmin E-Trek 25 Touch Screen pre loaded with 250,000 caches. I think having all these in my unit is a waste of memory. Is there a way to deleted a lot of them? And when I load local caches in I can not find a way them in a separate file as I expect to. Am I asking too much? Currently in Lusk WY on my way to Cheyenne in a couple of day. Summerwinter. Quote Link to comment
RuideAlmeida Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I would try with Garmin BaseCamp. Quote Link to comment
+on4bam Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Delete them all, data is outdated anyway. Who knows how many caches are disabled/archived between loading the caches and the unit being sold. Quote Link to comment
+Red90 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I would try with Garmin BaseCamp. That will not work. Basecamp is not able to read GGZ files. You need to connect the GPS to a computer in mass storage mode. Go to the Garmin/GGZ directory and delete the GGZ file that is there. Quote Link to comment
RuideAlmeida Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 (edited) That will not work. When I run BaseCamp with my GPS connected on the computer, then I download the content from the GPS, delete (or add) some new caches and finally I export this new app info into the GPS. Like this you create a new .gpx and after that you can delete the previous. It works for me, with a Dakota 20. Edited October 9, 2016 by RuideAlmeida Quote Link to comment

Basecamp does not read or write GGZ files, so will not help in this siutation. Quote Link to comment
