Oregon 300 "Found Geocaches"

[+npaisnel]

I was recently given an Oregon 300

I gave it full delete of all previous userdata and did Firmware update...it was factory Fresh.

 

I created some searches on here in an area of the country I have never bee to before, never foudn Geocaches i this area.

 

So my search of this new area, i sent the Geocaches to the Oregon 300 using " Send to Garmin".  The Garmin app pops up and transfers the geocaches to the Oregon and they appear in the geocache section.

 

But weirdly many of them appear under the "Found Geocaches" section of the Oregon 300 even though I have not yet found them.

 

Have not yet found a way to mark tham as Not Found.

 

Only other threads I have seen about this say to either download the Geocaches after deleting from the device or trying to edit the geocache_visits.txt file

Neither option works.  A whole section of caches still show in the " Found " section even if I have never selected them or done a "GotTo" on them

Carefully check and verify the account used to download the geocaches to the device. If that person has found them, they will be marked as found geocaches.

 

Share the Geocache GPX file from your Oregon and we can verify that for you!

Factory Reset doesn't erase user data, it just resets the settings to their factory defaults. 

You may need find and delete the following files from the main Garmin folder:
Geocache_visits.txt
Geocache_finds.xml

Then go into the GPX folder and verify that there are no old GPX files in there.
