When I find a cache I use the "Log Attempt" --> "Found" feature on my GPSMap 62s. This then shows the cache as an 'open box', drops out of unfound caches, etc. on the unit. However when I load the GPX file from the unit into GSAK these caches are not shown as found.

I'll give an example:

Yesterday I found GC2H93H (nothing special about this cache - just an example). When I look at the GPSMap 62s it does not show in the active caches and shows in the found caches. Presumably all of this information is in the GPX file on the unit as well (or is that a fatal flaw assumption?)

I created a new database in GSAK. From GSAK I did a "File" --> "Load GPX/LOC/Zip..." and selected the GPX file on my unit in the ..\Gamin GPSMAP 62stc\Garmin\GPX\Geocaches.gpx location.

Back in GSAK all the caches loaded fine. But none were marked as found (as the original PQ was for 'not found by me' caches and had no founds originally on the GPSMap 62s)

I did try loading the GPX file from the 'current' folder on the GPSMap 62s but that didn't do anything (seems to be an empty file).

Any help would be great!

Connect the GPS then GPS>Receive Waypoints and tick the Just Update Finds radio box.

This is because 62s does not store found information in gpx file, but in "geocache_visits.txt" file in Garmin folder on internal memory. When you open this file in notepad, you will see gc code of the cache you have found. This file gsak reads when you perform what eusty suggests. To have your founds in gpx file, you need to log your founds and download pocket query from gc.com or through gsak.
