Bearcreek is correct that the eTrex 20 will hold only 2000 named waypoints. I stand corrected. Although I can load all 4 of the CDT state waypoint gpx files into the unit’s storage - and although the source document states that the unit will hold 2000 gpx file - the unit will only actually compile and render accessible the first 2000 waypoints (minus any waypoints already in storage), beginning alphabetically - in this case with the 1683-point Colorado file. Presumably it would then load the first 317 points in the Montana file, assuming no waypoints were already in storage.
Clearly it’s too bad the eTrex 20’s sizable built-in storage capacity isn’t matched by its ability to store a thru-hike’s worth of named waypoints at one time, or to retrieve more waypoint data from storage as needed. All of Bearcreek’s data can be put at once into the unit, but only a fraction of it can be utilized this way.
No need to shout, by the way. All caps is bad manners. Just sayin. Get a grip. And thanks for the data.
