    I’d like to load a 100 caches on my GPSMap60CSx from Geocaching.com, but I can seem to be limited to 24. Is there a 60CSx user who can tell me if there is a limitation, or a work around? Thanks.

    I use a 60CSX and I have currently have 150 caches loaded on it. I am not sure what the limit is but it only displays the closet 50 caches from your current location.

    You should be able to load 1000 at least. You just can’t see them all on the listing. You should be able to see then on the map though. We do pocket queries and can fit a ton of caches on our GPS but you can’t see them all on the listing.

    Go to garmin.com and download the poi loader.

    Run a pq and open the zip file and extract the gpx files from it and put them in a specific folder for just them.

    Run the poi loader using the folder you just made.

    On the 60csx click the find button and the pois you just loaded will be under the custom poi label. The custom poi symbol does not show on the unit unless you have custom pois loaded into the unit.

    You can load as many caches as your memory card has space for. ( i got over 10,000 caches on mine).

    And if you are feeling adventerous you can load the pq into gsak and modify the info and make your own gpx file that can show some additional information then gc’s pq would put into your 60csx.

    How long does it typically take for gc.com to email the PQ? It was about half a day the first time I tried it. Is that normal? ❓

    It should also be availiable for down load from the site. And just to check, did you make sure you either checked or unchecked the right boxes. I know the 1st time I started running PQ that I had problems with that.

    My PQ’s usually are ready in a minute or two
