+DDD Team Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Not sure if anyone has had this issue but here goes. Magellan GPS's create a file called "Magellan_Geocache_Extention.gpx" which only contains a small part of the "Found" log. I upgraded from an Explorist 510 to the 610. The new GPS does not recognize my old finds through Geocaching.com Pocket Queries. If I go to the Cache on the GPS it will show the Log that says we found the cache but because it was not found with that GPS it does not record it in the "Magellan_Geocache_Extention.gpx". I have tried just checking off "Found" again on the caches but it is entering a new log, not what I want. Any help is appreciated. Quote Link to comment
+Jmebd Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Won't happen. Just gonna have to live with new PQ's that don't include already found caches. I know that's not what you want to hear....anyhoo, the only reason that I can think of that a person would want the already found caches cluttering up your small real estate screen anyway is to know distance from them in order to place a new cache somewhere near the already found one to ensure ample distance from said cache. You might have another reason and I'm sure it's a valid one to you but try and consider what your screen would look like with extra stuff covering it... Quote Link to comment
+Walts Hunting Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) I don't understand "new pqs that don't include finds". Whether or not a find cache is in a pq is determined by what boxes you check on the pq page. You can get them if you want. Edited December 4, 2014 by Walts Hunting Quote Link to comment
+DDD Team Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 I am over this now. Had the same problem last time I upgraded GPS also. Have learned now that there is a specific Magellan file that needs to be saved to your PC. Went back and fixed all my finds. Going to make sure it doesn't happen again. Thanks for the comments.
