+Imajika Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 The one thing that was a little odd was the way it handles geocaches. I thought they would be seperated somehow and you would bring up the screen when you found them. From the directions it looks as if you are shown the 'found' screen only after you get close enough to the cache. Is this correct? You can pick any cache and use the 'goto' function (off road) and it will let you select 'found'. Then it shows you the next closest cache to your current location. Quote Link to comment
+SKWERL Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 OK, after a bit of research, I discovered 3.30 was the latest. I downloaded it and got it installed sucessfully, despite having had a few cold ones before hand. Garmin has released 3.40 on June 8th. If you'd like to keep on top of current versions, if you go to Garmin's Website and select the Support (Software Updates) pulldown, it will take you to a list of current versions for all Garmin SW. When you click on your particular unit, after you accept their terms & conditions, it will allow you to download the latest. It will also give you the option (in the upper right corner) of requesting email notification when new versions are released. bryan Quote Link to comment

+Worf's Pack Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 I've had mine for less than 24 hours this thread is been useful. I've upgraded to3.30 to 3.40. I've gotton the new version of easy gps. The thing I can't figure out is how to download gpx files eveytime I try I get loc. files I am a premium member I need to fill this puppy up the weekend is almost here. Quote Link to comment
+SKWERL Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 On the bottom of your pocket query page there is a pulldown option to select .loc or .gpx files ("In the format". You can also request that the site compress the file before sending (the checkbox is "Compress files into *.zip format (recommended)"). This results in a smaller file being sent (which helps on a slower link), it also fixes a problem where some mail systems will block the .gpx attachments..... Now go load up and have fun this weekend! bryan Quote Link to comment
+wornout Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 I too just received my Garmis 60cs yesterday. I had trouble using easygps to download my Geocache waypoints using the USA so I went to GSAK and was able to download them using the serial cable I was using with my etrek and GPS III. I never did get the USB cable to work with easygps since I was running an older version. It is now time to decide if the I should purchase the Garmin Topo product, to download Topo Maps for geocaching, to my 60cs. My question is: is the Garmin Topo product as good, for the 60cs, as the Delorme Topo 5 was for my PC? If you have experience with BOTH products, I would appreciate your opinion.

+Wild_Bill Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 I too have only used the Garmin Topo mapset. Within the 60cs I currently have both TOPO and City Select North America for the same area. The ability to switch between the two is really nice and there is enough memory in the 60cs to allow reasonable coverage with both mapsets. Granted, you can only view one mapset at a time but the switch is relatively easy. If I haven't told everyone, I'm really impressed with the 60cs. All the things that weren't quite right about the eTrex Vista, they fixed in the 60cs. Quote Link to comment

+GoGayleGo Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 I've tried your post out about highlighting the waypoint and right clicking selecting properties how ever there is no property option once you right click. Oh, sorry, I get my directions mixed up sometimes. Right click on the waypoint and select EDIT WAYPOINT. This was working for me successfully a few days ago, but now I only get the old waypoint icon list! I feel like I'm going crazy! Have double-checked that I didn't accidentally revert to some older version of EasyGPS (thankfully, I have not), but cannot figure out what the heck is going on. On a side note, took the 60CS on it's maiden voyage yesterday and ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!! I am sure there will be much fine-tuning in the weeks to come, but thanks to this thread I think I'm off to a good start. Quote Link to comment

Make sure you have the most current version and then when you configure in a new GPSr it will have options for the newer units like the 60CS. Then when you select that GPSr as a destination, it will have a checkbox for using the USB. It is a tremendous improvement when loading 1000 wpts.... Have fun! bryan Quote Link to comment

My version of EasyGPS is 1.3.7 There are a couple of other threads about EasyGPS and USB floating around as well.... take a look at "Software Like Easygps With Usb" (GPX files to Garmin Map76CS thru USB). I posted a note there about configuring in your GPSr and there may be some other useful info as well: "Don't forget to make sure that you have configured EasyGPS to include your GPSr. With File->Preferences, on the My GPS Receivers tab, Click the Add GPS button and then find a selection for the 60CS (if you don't have it, you may need to update to a more recent version of the software like 1.3.7). When you have added that GPSr, you can check the Settings button as previously mentioned to use the USB interface. That option would be greyed-out for older models that don't support USB."

+Mechanics Hands Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Well I took my 60cs out for its intital run at some local caches. I am running 3.4 and city select 6. I realized I still have so much to learn about it but was very impressed. I loaded about 40MB of maps of the north texas area into it from city select. I then decided to load about 200-250 waypoints of local caches dl through geocaching.com in gpx files with my membership. I then uploaded them from easygps. At that point I had only had one other waypoint, my home. ( I had deleted garmins taiwan waypoint) I showed all the waypoints in the file on easygps. But when I scrolled through the waypooints in the waypoint screen on my 60cs, I saw only half or less. Whats more, my home waypoint was no longer listed. I could see it on the map when I scolled over the area, but it was not seen in the waypoint list. I had my home wpt with a green flag, and all the other wpts with the geocache icon. I deleted all waypoints (in case I had accidentally put in a huge number) then uploaded them again. When I dl'd from geocaching.com I would click on the box to check all caches on the pages, then download them. I did 10 pages like that, since there were so many nearby. Each cache seemed to onl have one waypoint in gps (which it should be) I would be out and add a waypoint, and the previously added waypoint would disapear from the list also. Now if I deleted some waypoints, I could see previosuly added, and unseen waypoints again listed in the waypoints list. Am I missing something here or is there a limit to how many waypoints could be listed in the waypoint list? The waypoint file that I uploaded shows to only be 36kb so having enough memory space "shouldnt" be an issue. Thanks for the help, its a steep learning curve with the 60cs, easy gps, city select6, even after fully reading and going over these forums before I got my 60cs. MH Quote Link to comment

It will also preserve numbers in the "smart name" even if they are in the middle of the cache or at the end. For example caches with the names: "A long way to the top - cache #1" "A long way to the top - cache #2" "The little red box 5 - platinum series" "The little red box 6 - platinum series" "My first cache - in the bush" "My first cache - in the wild" Generate "smart names" of (10 characters, but this can be set to any length): ALongWayT1 ALongWayT2 TheLittle5 TheLittle6 MyFirstCa1 MyFirstCa2 GSAK also lets you build your waypoint code using special tags (of which the "smart name" is only one of them) so you can still preserve the geocaching.com ID if you need it. This enables you to build a waypoint code that instantly designates the cache type, difficulty, terrain, etc. More information on these special tags can be found here Quote Link to comment

When I opened it there, the symbols had been changed to airports and amusement parks. I noticed on the export page a place to check "Use same names as GPS send" which I tried to no avail. Isn't there a way to use the "Treasue Chest" open and closed symbols? I'm not sure where the "Comments" field is since nothing in GSAK is called that. One last thing; what is the "User Flag" column used for? I couldn't find anything in Help about it. I know there's a separate thread regarding GSAK, but since Clyde and Robert both posted here, I will too. Besides; I started this thread as a "Catch-all" (Cache-all?) for 60CS questions.

This site also said that the 60C will not work with the USB port because there are no USB drivers for Mac OS X yet. It seems like the combination of devices I have are not meant to work together. Anyone have any solutions or suggestions? Thanks, Don Quote Link to comment
+Mechanics Hands Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php...ndpost&p=957506 After digging and digging I cannot seem to find how to change the waypoint options to list ALL waypoints. That is definitely the problem I am having, nto being able to see all the waypoints. If I go into the waypoints list, then hit "menu"my only options are, find by name, , select symbol, change reference, delete. when I go into the waypoints menu it automatically has the top one highlighted. Also is there a way to hide waypoints by icon type? For instance I would love to load in the geocaches in my area. However in most cases I would not want to see those waypoints on the map, but I would like to see other waypoints. I understand adn can hide waypoints by map level as explained earlier in this thread. But I would like to see most of the waypoints I have, just not the caching ones until I go caching. Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment
