+Dansagenius Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Hi All I have just treated myself to a eTrex20 after i found my Samsung J3 was pretty poor with GPS accuracy. I have tried to download/transfer my 'list' of caches ready for a weekend away. My list contains around 800 caches around where we are staying which is pretty useful but unfortunately they do not appear on the device when transferred via the garmin express automation process. I have connected my device to the PC and they ARE showing in the garmin\GPX folder but not showing when using the actual device via the geocaching menu. I have tried manually downloading and transferring a single cache and this works fine. Is there a maximum number of caches within a 'list' that the device can cope with? I really dont want to download each cache and manually transfer them for the area we will be staying. Any help would be great. Quote Link to comment
+HHL Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 The limits are: Quote eTrex 20/30/20x/30x 2,000 GPX files 2,000 waypoints 5,000 geocaches 200 routes, 250 points per route 200 saved tracks 2,000 archive tracks 10,000 points per track 100 custom map tiles 250 BirdsEye Imagery files Approximately 3,000 mapping segments Caution: avoid having listed a geocache in more than one list or PQ. If the unit detects a doublet it fails to show caches at all. Quote Link to comment
+The A-Team Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Are these caches more than 150 miles away from your current location? If so, then that's the issue. The Garmin devices will only show caches in the list if they're within 150 miles of the current location. However, they will be shown on the map regardless of distance. You should be able to pan the map to the relevant area and see the caches. If you still can't see them, try zooming in a bit closer. Quote Link to comment
+colleda Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I am in Turkey at the moment and before leaving home I uploaded middle east caches (2000+) to my Etrex 20 and they showed up on it. I use GSAK does that make a difference? Quote Link to comment

No, that's incorrect. I had an eTrex 30 (non-touch) and now have a GPSMAP 64st and they both have this limitation. Quote Link to comment
