GSAK to Garmin TB icon

I am wondering if anyone knows of or has found a way to export a GPX file to my oregon 300 so that when a cache is logged as containing a trackable item it would show ON MY GPS MAP / tripcomputer as an icon showing such? any help or steeping in the right direction would be appreciated. thanx cachers.

GC vs GCA. newbie question

What is the reason behind the non affiliation of the two sites?
Why, if I hide with GCA my cache will never be listed on GC. But If I list on GC, it will show on GCA?
Why, then, should I hide on GCA over GC?

Re: GCA listings of caches in areas where geocaching is banned

Is there a KML google maps overlay available to the public that gives us all the same information of banned areas?
