that can be saved to the Nuvi650. I went to the Garmin site to look into Geocaching. Going in to MyGarmin and after downloading 15 geocaching sites only 8 showed up in the favorites on my 650. The 650 will hold 500 waypoints/favorites/locations. Could it be that I have maxed out the internal Garmin file for favorites/waypoints/locations? Any help will be appreciated!

The 650 can store 500 Favorites.
Do you have other things in your Favorites?
How far away from your current location are the geocaches that aren't showing up?
Can you find them on the unit by searching for the Waypoint ID name?
Hmmmmmmmmmm!
I have nothing in the favorites except my "home". Maybe some of these geocaches do not download due to not being a Premium Member! Twenty three out of 30 were the only ones to be downloaded just now. The closest is 0.6 miles and the furthest is 3.5 miles. Did a search by spelling the cache ID and "not found" came up. So maybe it has something to do with what kind of membership I have. What do you think, MM?
Just went on Geocaching.com and none of these caches are published! Now what!

Well, yeah, only Premium Members can get PM caches. I haven't downloaded caches from Garmin's site.
Ok, I just went and looked. PM caches don't show up on the my.Garmin site. So that can't be the issue.
So, I selected a page of caches, went to the next page and selected that whole page, then clicked the "Download" button. Then I went to a the next page, selected all the caches and clicked the "Download" button. There are 15 caches per page. 30 caches were sent to my GPS unit. None of the ones on the first page (where I didn't actually click the button) were transferred. So my guess is that you have to click the button on each page.
I just read your last statement. And I don't think that's possible. All the ones I download are on geocaching.com. I know because I was just looking at my PQ data today.
Can you post a Waypoint ID or two, so I can check them?
Here's a few:
GC11P53
GC17BJG
GCN9T
GC16T2Z
These were downloaded but never displayed. Let me know what you get. I was using zip code 85219 if that helps and I checked "select all" and downloaded the first 2 pages.

Well, I found all of those on geocaching.com so they are all valid caches and none are PM caches.
But what's weird is on the my.Garmin site, I entered that zip code and clicked through about 10 pages of caches and didn't see ANY of those GC numbers. So, I'm not sure what's up with that.
The only other thing I'd say is to be sure that you click the Download button on each page and be sure to WAIT until each cache is processed and the screen says it's okay to disconnect.
Thanks MM
I'll keep on trying and see what happens next. I did notice that when I deleted all the GCs from my favorites and the favorites showed empty, I went back in a little later, and more appeared! Weird!!
