If the total size of all gpx files exceeds 8MB-10MB the Oregon may fail to display some or all of the geocaches that these files contain. GC6.) Does the Garmin Oregon have a gpx file size limit? You should periodically delete gpx files in :\Garmin\GPX that are no longer needed and/or use Pocket Queries as described above.
Over time these files can accumulate and result in caches not being loaded if you exceed the 200 file limit. Note: If you use "Send to GPS", each time you click "Send to GPS" this downloads one gpx file to the Oregon. contain the same cache) then only one instance of the cache will show up on the Oregon. Yes, but there is a limit of 200 gpx files. GC5.) Can the Garmin Oregon load geocaches from multiple gpx files? Is there a limit? If you exceed either limit, caches will be omitted from your Geocache list and it is not predicable as to which caches will be dropped. If you exceed either the geocache limit or the file limit the Oregon will warn you. All Oregons support a maximum of 200 gpx files. The Oregon 450 and 550 support up to 5000 geocaches.
The Oregon 300 and 400 support up to a maximum of 2000 geocaches (in addition to the 1000 waypoint limit). GC4.) How many geocaches can I load onto my Garmin Oregon? Version 7.5 of GSAK added native support for USB mass storage devices like the Oregon so that the GPS>Send Waypoints and GPS>Receive Waypoints function will work if you have properly configured the GPS device. Note that versions of GSAK prior to 7.5 do not support direct transfer with the Oregon. It includes a form to allow the user to control which caches are exported. There is also a very useful Garmin Export GSAK macro that will automatically locate the Oregon and create the GPX file in the proper location in the device. Gpx files exported from GSAK work just the same as Groundspeak's PQ gpx files.

GC3.) Can I use GSAK to download geocaches to my Oregon? This works for up to 500 geocaches (the limit of the pocket query).Īfter completing one of the three steps above, disconnect, power on the Oregon and the caches will be visible in Main Menu>Geocaches. Geocaches will show up on the Found and/or Unfound List and child waypoints will show up as waypoints on the Oregon. Once you receive the pocket query via email, save the attachment, unzip the file and copy both gpx files to :\Garmin\GPX. This method only allows you to download one cache at a time. Once the gpx file is downloaded to your computer copy it to :\Garmin\GPX.

The Found List is visible by selecting Main Menu>Geocaches>Show Found.įor more details on how paperless Geocache works on the Garmin Oregon see the How To section below. Once a cache is marked as found it is removed from this list and put on the Found List. The Unfound cache list is the default list you will see when selecting Main Menu>Geocaches. Caches that get loaded into the Oregon from a gpx file are put into the appropriate list depending on their found status. The Oregon maintains two lists of caches, the Unfound List and the Found List. the caches, dates and type of log) to Groundspeak using the Field Note support which streamlines the process of logging your finds. Once you return to your computer you can upload your find data (i.e. In addition you can mark caches as found, not found or in need of maintenance while in the field. You cannot see cache attributes, images on the cache page and corrected coordinates which are part of logs. The information available includes the geocache name, GCID, coordinates, type, difficulty, terrain, owner, description, trackables, logs, child waypoints, and hint. Geocaching mode allows you to download a gpx file such as a Groundspeak pocket query (aka PQ) containing geocaches onto the Oregon and access information about the cache in the field. GC1.) What does the Garmin Oregon's paperless geocaching mode do for me? General information and issues with waypoints, POIs and geocache handling can be found on the Waypoints & POI page.
