GPX vs GGZ

Use one or the other, or use them both. The Oregon 6x0 will provide full geocaching functionality regardless of format. Using GGZ files substantially improves the Oregon 6x0 searching and indexing speeds. GGZ files consist of a compressed geocache GPX archive that includes an XML index containing only the information essential to searching and indexing functions. When a specific geocache is selected, additional information is then retrieved from the corresponding GPX file as required. Removing unnecessary information from the sorting process translates into a more efficient and enjoyable geocaching experience.
