kathy88 Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 Ok, so I downloaded from geocache.com the first cache we want to search for and it downloaded LOTS of waypoints. So now when I hit route I get so many icons that I can't see anything but them! Are you supposed to delete a lot of them from EasyGPS before downloading to the GPS so the screen won't be so cluttered? I just don't see that we'd want ALL those points in our GPS, especially when we are familiar with the vicinity of the cache. I'm just not sure the proper process to take in this. I hope the first time is the hardest! Kathy in WV [This message was edited by kathy88 on August 04, 2002 at 07:38 AM.] Quote Link to comment
+wolf&mist Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 By any chance did you check the box for downloading nearest place names also? It is found right below the download box at the top of the cache page. That box is EVIL! It filled my GPS up the first time I clicked it.

XplorR Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 I agree with wolf&mist! The box IS evil!! Most likely was your problem...did it once my self... Best of luck! XplorR Quote Link to comment
+brdad Posted August 4, 2002 Share Posted August 4, 2002 I am thinking perhaps you need to zoom in closer? I am using 450 or so of my maximum 500 waypoints on Etrex, mostly within 50 miles of my house and as long as I am not zoomed way out they do not clutter the screen. If I am zoomed way in there is usually just one or 2 on the screen at once. Never date a girl whose father calls her princess - chances are she beleives it. Quote Link to comment
kathy88 Posted August 4, 2002 Author Share Posted August 4, 2002 After clearing the memory on my GPS and starting over I figured that I'm so used to having to check a box for everything I checked that one.......and it's so close to the "download" line, too. The second time I got only one waypoint. Thanks for all the quick responses. quote:Originally posted by wolf&mist:By any chance did you check the box for downloading nearest place names also?
