eTrex SE Geocaching Live
I've been having a lot of fun playing with my new eTrex SE. It really is a cool, inexpensive device with many features. It appears that the only way to remove Geocaching Live data is to unregister the device. I haven't done that, but that would mean re-registering to download more? Or does the next 25 caches replace and override the previous 25? Just curious.

Re: eTrex SE Geocaching Live
No reason to remove anything, each time you refresh the GCLive data, the nearest 25 geocaches will overwrite the existing data.

You have seen the eTrex SE wiki page, right?

Oh, yes. Great information. I have GCLive and it refreshes and works fine but under "Filter Geocaches" I don't have a toggle switch for Live Geocaching as illustrated.

Re: eTrex SE Geocaching Live
I currently suspect the reason you do not have the 'Show/Hide Live Geocaches' option on your eTrex SE is because you do not have any GPX geocaches side loaded on the device.
Is this correct?

Bingo! Yes, at the time I had an empty GPX folder. I have now copy/pasted a geocache into that folder and now see the show/hide verbiage and toggle switch. Genius! Thank you.

Re: eTrex SE Geocaching Live
I just updated to 3.40. Sorry, I didn't notice any additional info. But I wanted to mention that I struggled with the upgrade via Garmin Express and could not complete the sync. I was using a Type A to Type C "fast charging" cable. I then used my basic, non-fast charging cable and it worked no problem. Just a heads up.
