Storing waypoints on the MicroSD card?

[TheBalksMember]

So my Garmin Vista HCx informed me today that I had hit the max waypoints of 1000, is there any way to store more waypoints, or swap waypoints in and out of the microsd card? I have a 4 gig card in there and it has plenty of room for more stuff.

Thanks

The waypoints are not stored on the SD card, but in internal memory, and 1000 is a fixed limit. Assuming you are using Mapsource, GSAK, Easy GPS or something else to load your waypoints, the easiest way it to delete all the waypoints and then reload a new set of 1000 for your next trip. Usually I can’t find more than 1000 caches in a single day anyway. 😆

Thanks, thats what I kind of figured, but i thought there might be a tool out there to enable a lazy person like myself.

I dont have a HC, but I know on the 76 I could store custom POI on the card and have read where people will turn cache information into those to get more on their GPS. Maybe someone else knows how this is done.

Using garmins POI loader you can store custom POI files on your memory card. these are not waypoints, but are essentially the same thing.
