Garmin's website is still saying 1000 waypoints on the 450. They don't mention caches as such. The 550 can hold 2000 waypoints. For $100 more that is.

According to this Garmin page (http://www8.garmin.com/outdoor/geocaching/), they can hold 5000 geocaches via GPX file. I think Geocaches are in a different category than waypoints on these units. That's enough to hold all of the non-micro caches in the state!

Let's hope not before they can attend to all the previous problems they have had in the past and also address all the major issues that they
had with the previous other 2 GPS's that they produced. Maybe they are waiting to see what others are doing in the handheld GPS world before embarking on another.

I know that soon you will be able to store how many ever caches your SD card can hold for the pn40...they will just be in separate gpx files of 1000 each....

Nice... I guess I just missed that part after a quick glance

5000 caches? I like that.
