Had to throw that one out there. I'm afraid I don't know the answer to your question . . . otherwise I would have offered a more meaningful and helpful answer.

No J, if it was a Canadian version of a Garmin, it would be called a Magellan....:D:D:D Hiram357 04-20-2006, 09:43 PM and on a more serious note.... do you read the manual?? perhaps there is a section about storing waypoints?? tat 04-20-2006, 09:46 PM you may have more waypoints in there than you realize. Try pressing Find, then Waypoints, then press menu, then Delete, then Alll Symbols. This should delete all of your waypoints and allow you to reload. firefighterjake 04-20-2006, 09:46 PM No J, if it was a Canadian version of a Garmin, it would be called a Magellan....:D:D:D You know I was going to try to beat you guys to the punch by making a Magellan joke, but I didn't want to deprive you of the great joy you derive from picking on me and my poor Magellan. ;) :D Hiram357 04-20-2006, 09:51 PM You know I was going to try to beat you guys to the punch by making a Magellan joke, but I didn't want to deprive you of the great joy you derive from picking on me and my poor Magellan. ;) :D there you go again... always thinking of others first... :D becket 04-20-2006, 09:56 PM You know I was going to try to beat you guys to the punch by making a Magellan joke, but I didn't want to deprive you of the great joy you derive from picking on me and my poor Magellan. ;) :D well, there you go, ffjake; i always thought he was picking on me and my poor magellan. firefighterjake 04-20-2006, 09:59 PM well, there you go, ffjake; i always thought he was picking on me and my poor magellan. I'm afraid we're in this together Becket.

When you find waypoints or geocaches, you can find by name or find nearest. My suggestion: try the find option again then hit the menu key. See if Find By Name is at the top and if it is, choose that. You'll see an alphabetic list of all the waypoints.

YES, I have the Canadian version, and its waaaay better than the USA one! haha ;) Starzz 04-20-2006, 10:14 PM Those may be just the nearest points.

Then I loaded the waypoints again, but still got only 50! Then I did what bhansenme said to do and there is a big list!!! :D Thanks! :) Sue kayakerinme 04-20-2006, 10:42 PM I did what tat said to do first, and deleted all the waypoints.
