+chuckscache Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 My Etrex 30x recently developed a symbol or waypoint at 0,0 coordinates. I can't get rid of it. It is not a geocache or a waypoint. It goes by 0183EP 02831EP and FN831EP. None of these show up in any of the folders. I see it when I off load my data to a mapping program which automatically defaults to show all symbols so my map is the entire world. Quote Link to comment
+ecanderson Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Are you trying to delete it individually? If so, have you tried using the System method for clearing all waypoints? Quote Link to comment
+chuckscache Posted February 19, 2020 Author Share Posted February 19, 2020 I can't see to delete individually and I have deleted all waypoints but the 0,0 one persists. Quote Link to comment
+HHL Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) They may be part of a Custom Poi file. Check the POI folder for files and delete not necessary ones. The 0,0 coordinates, the prefixes 01,02, FN and the core code 831EP let me assume that they are waypoints from this cache: https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC831EP_groundhog-day Hans Edited February 19, 2020 by HHL Quote Link to comment
+Atlas Cached Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 So, you can see this 'symbol or waypoint' on the map on your eTrex? What happens when you select it? Quote Link to comment
+JohnCNA Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) One of the things I see happening from time to time is with multi's or puzzles that have the final or intermediate stages 'not hidden' in the cache listing. These will show up with coordinates of 0,0 when downloaded to my Garmin or Basecamp. So when I call up the map view in Basecamp, the view is zoomed out far enough to show my downloaded caches in the Chicago area plus the waypoints at 0,0. It can sometimes take a while to find the offending 0,0 waypoints and delete them. Edited February 23, 2020 by JohnCNA Update Quote Link to comment
+chuckscache Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 The removal of GC831EP removed the errant 0,0 coordinate. Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment
