Re: unlisted trig stations

Thanks pjmpjm, that's good to know. All I am concerned about there is that I don't know some/half of the information such as the actual trig station serial number (other than what's stamped on it—but that doesn't usually tally up with the "master list" (my term)). I don't want to put together a half...

elevation is out on my oregon 600

I am not very happy with the elevation as detailed by my Garmin Oregon 600 device. I have thought it out almost sine day one.

Re: using GPX files with Oregon 600

Do you know if there'sa way to see how many caches I have listed? The NSW list doesn't say how many are in there, ie there's no last page button or total count (that I can see).

He peeps, new* geocacher here and I need some advice on using these GPX files with Garmin's Oregon 600. I have a pocket query (from geocaching.com) and have downloaded a gpx file of caches within 20km from my home. This works just fine. But when I come to gca and download the gpx file for nsw I don'...
