Live Geocache files I did not download

Unread post by asprin624 »

Since I got my 66s v4.20 and signed up for live Geocache.
I put in my key and that was the end of it.(have not used live yet)
Then when I looked on the map of my 66 I see 2 Geocache premium files.
As I am not a premium user yet I can not use these 2 Geocache files.
Why would signing up for Live Geocache would I wind up with 2 that were downloaded that I can not use??
As did not down loading anything nor have used Live Geocache function. They are both in walking distance of my house.
It is no big deal but they are no where to be found on the 66 when I try to delete them. WIFI is not on so it in not that I am connected to the Geocache website.
As I do not know if this is a 66 problem or not or just a mistake from the Geocaching website the 2 Geocaches are still there after updating the 66s to v4.80. Plus at this time I just download my Geocaches manually and keep them on my Laptop. Then when I am ready to go to an area I just copy those files I need to my 66 and the wife's eTrex 22x. Other than that no problems with the 66.
Note the update to v4.80 when very fast with no problems at all.

When a Garmin GPSr is first registered for GCLive, the device automatically loads a handful of geocaches near the users current location.

GCLive data can be removed by selecting Setup > Geocaching > Geocaching Live > Remove Live Data.
