Trigs GPX file problems
I don't seem to be able to get a trigs GPX file to show up on my Garmin Oregon 650. I have a GPX mailed to me daily, but when I copy it to the GPX folder on the GPSr, the waypoints don't show up on the map, or in the search list. I've looked at the GPX file with a GPX file editor, and it clearly shows the 1000 trigs in the file. Can anyone offer any assistance?
Cheers

Re: Trigs GPX file problems
I save a NSW GPX file and load it into GSAK and then send it over the Garmin. Usually works for me but sometimes I don't get the GCA stuff come across (probably more to do with user error than technology).

You may need to be using the 1.0.1 compatible version of the file.

I get TrigPoints from GCA to my Garmin 600 and they seem to come in fine.

Re: Trigs GPX file problems
I still can't get a trigs GPX file to show up....
On the GPS is a bunch of waypoint files (made in GPS) and a Groundspeak Pocket Query - should I expect the trigs to co-exist with them like that?
I've changed the format to 1.0.1 with no result.....
Any/all help appreciated....

Re: Trigs GPX file problems
Instead of using the file you got emailed to you, create a query and upload that GPX file to it. Does that work?

I think I've tried that too - do you mean going to the page at http://geocaching.com.au/my/query/ and trying the ZIP/GPX link?MavEtJu wrote:Instead of using the file you got emailed to you, create a query and upload that GPX file to it. Does that work?
I placed the GPX file on my sons little Magellan explorist 310, and they show up fine..... maybe that will be our trigs GPS??
Ideally I just want trigs to show up as waypoints, I might experiment with the CSV option also.....

Re: Trigs GPX file problems
check in your settings that you don't have some kind of filter active on the device to only show certain cache types. Been ages since I fired my oregon up, but I remember there was a setting somewhere.

Re: Trigs GPX file problems
That was it....
Thanks very much CraigRat....
I didn't have a filter active, as I always want to see all caches, but went into the filter settings and hit "Show All" - now they appear, but as that weird little chest symbol that Garmin use. The last time I had to delve into the filter was when caches started disappearing seemingly at random, we think a momentary lapse in screen locking caused some filter changes..... one screen-lock-forget resulted in deletion of all waypoints... that was a fun day.
Thanks again - very helpful!

Re: Trigs GPX file problems
Just remember that even with the latest firmware the Oregon 650 will sometimes change settings by itself. I do not use the auto compass but the device will turn it on randomly and there have been other settings that it has changed by itself that I didn't know about until something went wrong.lee737 wrote:That was it....

Re: Trigs GPX file problems
Glad it's not just me then. Sometimes I think I've touched something which changes things and I don't know how to get back to where I was.Chwiliwr wrote:Just remember that even with the latest firmware the Oregon 650 will sometimes change settings by itself.
