GGZ files disappearing??
Posted: Fri Dec 23, 2022 7:14 pm
I've just started experience this problem on my Oregon 750. I use GSAK (running on Windows 11 under Parallels on a MacBook Pro) and have been using same procedure for years. Once I get the database I want, I upload to the GPSr using GarminExport macro, then disconnect the unit from the cable. For the last TWO TIMES in a row, I double check to make sure the GGZ file and POI's are loaded by actually checking the GPSr's folders, and turning the GPS on to view geocaches and the map -- everything looks hunky-dory, just like normal. I'm ready to go. Turn the unit off and head off to cache the next day. Turn the unit on when I get close to my first cache I want to find -- and ALL OF THE CACHES ARE GONE. Nothing. I get back home, plug in the GPS, and the GGZ file has disappeared. The POI's that GarminExport creates are still there in the POI folders, but GGZ file is missing.
Short of doing a GPSr "Reset" is there anything I might be missing? Any helpful suggestions appreciated. I'm at a loss for trying to figure out why a file is there one day, then gone the next. TIA...
