Wait a minute you didn't get the Canadian version of the Garmin Etrex Vista C did you? ;)

OK, sorry. 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

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.

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

I'm afraid we're in this together Becket.

Those may be just the nearest points. 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.

I did what tat said to do first, and deleted all the waypoints. 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! :)

Great! :) My old GPSIII+ actually listed the total number of waypoints used, sure wish the new models did!
