Garmin Colorado/Oregon + Mac Users - Maximum Number of Geocaches Exceeded

I recently encountered an issue with the Colorado 400t, but with the help of a fellow geocacher, the problem was fixed.

**Mac and Garmin Colorado/Oregon users will want to read this!**

HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED:
I was headed for a camping trip and I ran three separate pocket queries, producing three different gpx files, for the main locations we might be able to geocache at during the trip. I already had a gpx file on my Colorado of geocaches around my local area which I deleted to make room for the three new geocaches. When I added the three gpx files onto my Colorado I received the screen message posted with this article. I went into the Colorado and my local area geocaches were still on the unit. I troubleshooted this for sometime and could not understand what was happening. After some research I found the solution to this problem.

HERE IS THE SOLUTION:
If you're using a Mac, you have to empty the trash before uploading more gpx files or cache pages to your gps unit. Another solution is to replace a gpx file with the same file name.

I do use a MacBook Pro and I tried this. I empty my trash anytime I add new gpx files and it seems to have solved the problem.

Note: Always check what is in your Trash before you empty it! If you accidentally delete the wrong file from the Colorado and then empty your Trash you may render the Colorado useless.
