64sx reloads waypoints with every power on

Unread post by ivhs72 »

I've got an issue with the 64sx, and wonder if anyone else is having this problem. When I load my geocaching pocket queries, and power on the device, it takes 8-10 minutes to update the waypoints, etc section (the part with the green progress bar across the bottom). That's normal. But when I have to change batteries, or power cycle the device, it does that same update every time. :roll: With every other Garmin I've owned, that was not the case. Once the waypoints and everything was loaded, it simply powered up within a few seconds. Only when I loaded or updated pocket queries did it need to update. Has anyone else experienced this happening?

How many Waypoint do you have on your 64sx?

With me I never had to wait so long after I switched on the device.

My new 65s takes a little longer to startup than the 64sx.
(although roughly the same amount of data on track, waypoints, etc.)

I suspect that you have a lot of geocaches on the device. And therefore it takes a long time until they are all loaded.

Wow, 18 months to get a reply!

Sorry ivhs72, I missed this one the first time around.

Are you still having this issue with your 64sx?
