 |
|
I was wondering if there is a way to remove cache information from your GPS once you have uploaded them? If I remember correctly, the Garmin Legend CTX can hold only so many caches at one time. What happens if you reach that number? I travel out of state quite a bit and load caches from those places as well as Minnesota. I thought perhaps one of the "techies" on the Board might know.
Thanks

Sure there's a way to delete caches. I delete caches all the time on my gpsr. Seeing that you've found so many caches, I suspect there's more to your question.

When you mark them found they go in to recently found. Do they ever actually leave your GPS?

Only once you delete them. In my garmin quest I change the icon to the open treasure chest when I find a cache. Then I can do a delete by symbol and delete all of the open treasure chest waypoints. I also periodically whack all my waypoints and start over. Then I also have all the child waypoints gone, breadcrumbs, etc gone. I just ordered a 60CSx, but I'll probably do the same with that one too.

The 60 and 76 will automatically change the icon to an open chest when you mark it found. You can then delete by symbol to delete just those.
I just delete all of the waypoints and then reload my GPS with area caches once a week or so - I don't mess around with saving some waypoints, etc. This way even the unfound caches get updated in case the owner moved/corrected the cache, it got disabled, etc.
