Great Macro - Nuvi 760 User Report
I have used this macro a few weeks, also last week when on holiday in Tuscany, Italy.
Yesterday, I upgraded to V4.1 (will upgrade and test 4.1.1 today), and here is what I can comment so far:
The build in icons is all to small for my 50+ eyes, so I like to use my own 24x24 with bright green background (to improve visibility on the map).
Why is the Child waypoint icons the same as the parent icon. I think it is better to have the "right" icons for e.g. Parking, Reference Point, Trailhead and so on..
I choosed not to show my own caches, but they are all shown and alerted.
The alert audio "bell" is all to loud compared to the navigation audio. My wife has started to complain about the audio Is there other audio files easily available.
What would be nice, is to choose icon types and audio file for each type of cache (19 ?)
Regarding the 7xx Garmin problem, what I have noticed, is that if I turn on the Nuvi at a location where there is one or more caches within the alert distance set in the macro, the 760 freezes or turns itself off about 2 out of 3 times.
Also, when driving towards an area with several caches (or child waypoints) at the same distance, the 760 map freezes, and the GPS have to be restarted.
Another Issue is that the Nordic letters e.g. Æ, Ø and Å is missing in the Geocache Name, but it is correct in the name left to the Go! (Norwegian: Kjør!) as shown in this screen shots (click for full size):
A few more things:
Is it possible to implement an option to have the Hint before the Description ?
Maybe not possible, but what I would like, is to have different Alert Distance in areas with high cache density, like in the little town of Oslo, where we now have more than 500 caches, while on the countryside, it may be a very long distance between caches. Also, an Alert Distance setting pr cache type would be useful.
