Geocaching Features Broken in v8.20

Unread post by GPSrChive »

Is anyone who has loaded 8.20 to their Montana 7x0 having trouble with the Geocaching functions?

My device will not load manually loaded GPX files, and GCLive operation is spotty at best.

Please respond if you are running 8.20 on your Montana 7x0!

Unable to confirm. I first tried and download a single *.gpx file from geocaching.com. After copying to GPX folder on internal storage, it's shown in the Geocaching App on Montana. Downloading more Geocaches via GC-Live also works fine.

Thank you!

Turns out I had to remove the microSD card, reboot, install microSD card, and reboot again to restore proper function after the device crashed earlier in the day.
