Hi,

 

I am having this strange issue with my Garmin Oregon 700.

I solved a mystery cache and changed the coördinates of this cache on geocaching.com, so the cache coördinates are pointing to the real location of the cache.

Now this happens when i use several methods to tranfer the cache to my Oregon 700:

- Downloading the gpx file

        -> The changed coördinates are used as cache coördinates (what would be correct)

- Use "Send to Garmin"

        -> The changed coördinates are used as cache coördinates (what would be correct)

- Live geocache download with the option "Downoad Near"

         -> The changed coördinates are used as cache coördinates (what would be correct) 

- Live geocache download with the option"GC Code"

         -> The original coördinates are used as cache coördinates (what would not be correct) 

 

The last option is my prefferd method of downloading caches on the road to the Garmin Oregon 700 device, but since is uses original coordinates, i cannot us this for solved mystery caches.

That is very odd becouse all other methods (inlcluding Live Geocaching "Donwload Near") do use the changed coördinates.

 

I already asked Garmin about this, but they dont realy seem to understand the issue.

 

Does anyone recognises this issue or can somebody test this out?

Could it be a garmin problem or a geocaching.com problem?

Is there somebody with a solution?
