Geocaching downloading fix
There is a hardware update that you need to do with the 300. Then do a hard reset (push both soft buttons and turn it on). This wipes your personal stuff but the new upgrade to hardware is important. Now go to shortcuts, system and add the geocaching symbol/link to the shortcut screen.
And now go to GSAK or Mapsource and export your geocache file to the 300. It should load to the Garmin 300. Use the garmin\gpx file on the gps, not the garmin\gpx\now file. And download your geocaches to the unit, here.
Now you can find the geocaches when you do a goto or under geocaching. If you had downloaded them and they were showing as waypoints, go into waypoint manager and delete them.
Now go to unit and put personal choices etc back in place.
Use webupdater often, as this is a new unit and still some bugs.
Spent an hour on the phone with tech support and my computer knowledgeable friend who had spent 2 days playing with his 400t figured this pathway out.
Also the unit seems to run faster if the maps are on the sd card rather than in the 384mb of internal memory.
Now how are we mounting this on the m/c? The Zumo mount is too big, the mount for the 60csx is too big. Ideas?
