just got a new oregon 400t

[+Nightsout]

Hi,

I am a premium member with a new unit I can't seem to get all the paperless caches into the new unit any thoughts?

thanks very much

Did you unzip your PQ?

 

If you haven't. Do. Then when the 400t is hooked up to your computer it will act as a mass storage device. You'll see a folder that say's GPX file. Open that. Then drag and drop your unzipped PQ in there and on a restart they should show up.

 

If you are using GSAK, there is an import and export option for all the Colorado's and Oregon's as well.

 

My guess is your not unzipping the PQ first.

 

Hope that help's.

I am moving this thread from the Geocaching Topics forum to the GPS and Technology forum.

1. The Oregon 400t only supports up to 2000 geocaches. Does the number of geocaches within 20 miles exceed this?

 

2. Do you know how to run a pocket query? Do you know how to structure it so that you can efficiently pull in all the geocaches within 20 miles if it exceeds 500? If you don't, read Markwell's FAQ

 

3. After you receive the PQ, unzip it. There will be two GPX in there. The larger one is the geocache. The smaller one is the additional waypoints.

 

4. Open your Garmin device from your list of drives (it should be called "Oregon" and show up as a blue triangle in the icon view). Go into the directory GARMIN. Then go into the directory GPX. Copy your GPX file containing the geocaches here. You can copy the additional waypoints here as well if you like.

 

5. Safely remove hardware (or the Mac equivalent). You're done/
