Do you have to crop your photos or is there a way to save the pic without those sympols?

These aren’t screen shots, although that is another option. All the photos save in the “DCIM” folder of the Garmin itself, similar to a regular digital camera.

I had test-dunked the Garmin in the pool this summer with no problems, but I will admit to a little trepediation taking it under water and in salt water. However, I trusted the product literature and it worked just great! Again the hardest part is since the camera “button” is on screen rather than physical, and since there is a slight delay, it’s difficult to get a great shot. In other words I have lots of pictures of water with no fish in them, and more than a few closeups of my finger covering the camera lens 😳 .

That works, thanks. I wonder where the glitch is.

Yes the camera works underwater…does a very credible job. Biggest problem is the delay between pressing the camera button and the time it actually takes the picture, which means you are bobbing around in the water and can miss your desired shot. But otherwise it did great! Here are jules80 and Obi-Will Kenobi off the coast of Roatan. 😀

No problems shooting to 5′ under water:

Ummm.. if you click on recent finds, then menu you can remove all. At least on my 60CSx. But I’m not sure if that’s the question.

I think he wants to know how to remove them from the Garmin itself, in which case you do open the drive letter of the Garmin when it’s plugged in and delete the file geocache_visits.txt in the “Garmin” folder. Garmin will recreate the file when you record your next find on the unit.

We’ve had this happen a few times, and have never run into owners as nice as sagasu who will un-premium them in the short term. So there have been caches our daughter could not log. 😥

I just got my new 550T and haven’t used it alot but I hope that isn’t what I have to look forward to. The camera and the 3 axis compass were selling points for me.

It’s an amazing unit, it just has a few quirks.

And yes we do pull the batteries on occasion–it goes completely unresponsive. I think that’s a “feature.”

If you want to have it crash really badly just go do a Wherigo. I think it must have a “lock up when you’ve completed all tasks” subroutine. 👿

I see those commercials don’t feature the handy “Lock up the system when using the camera requiring you to pull the batteries for a hard reboot” feature… 😡

Gotta update my firmware….

AstroK, I sent them a note saying that I could only do a Go2Meeting on it, which was one of the options they offered. I haven’t heard back on that yet.

Before you reset your options (sorry Bartrod) which might lose settings you have established, try this:

menu->menu->GPS setup.

Make sure “require WAAS” is not checked.

Make sure “use indoors” is not checked.

Select “initialize” GPS and follow the instructions.

If that doesn’t work after a period of time, reboot the device, go through the steps above, except choose “GPS Auto Search” in the menu.

We had this problem on rare occasions. Usally one or both of the steps above would jumpstart it. If not… 😡

At first I thought you meant publishing caches under a different user name (sock puppet), which I haven’t seen done.

We have several caches under different aliases, and almost all are done just for fun. Usually “gotta run” becomes gotta fly, gotta hike, gotta tri, whatever.

There may be one or two where the alias a hint to a puzzle but I’m not saying which. 😉
