Restricted downloads

[+peem]

What have I (or more to the point, my grandson) done to my gps?

All was well until yesterday. Today I d/l nine caches. I went out to find them and there were only four on the gps!

When I came home I tried to d/l them again and it said they were already there and did I want to override (or something like that) them. I clicked yes but they still don't show.I deleted the ones I had found and d/l a few more. Again only four were showing.

Now my grandson swears he hasn't touched it but if he didn't what could have gone wrong?

Is there a way to restrict the number you can d/l?

This is an Oregon 700 by the way.

The caches are on your unit (which is why it said they were already there when you went to re-download them). It's more likely that you, or your grandson, have inadvertently set a filter. I'm not sure of the exact path to check this, as I don't possess a 700, but look for an option to set/unset various geocache filters, like difficulty and terrain. See if a filter has been set which is restricting the caches viewed.

Thanks simplysup. I had looked at my filters but hadn't noticed the 'terrain' had been changed as everything else was the same!!

Now if I can just get hold of him before his mum .

Thanks again.

Not familiar with this GPSr, but when this happens to me, it's because my GPSr isn't showing me caches that I've already found.
