the turn by turn direction will be found on the Active Route page Awesome! Thanks

I've upgraded to a 62s after using an Etrex Vista Hcx for about 4 years. I'm sick of sitting on the Garmin "hold forever" phone line so I figured I'd ask here. 1) I loaded my City Navigator maps directly on the 62s memory. I put my 2gb SD card in the 62s. It shows up as a drive on my mac. My old version maps were still on the card and it gave me unlock errors so I formatted it. Now I just have an empty SD card that the 62s doesn't seem to be using for anything. Can I have it store tracks to the card, or what can I use it for? What is the best way to set up the maps (internal memory or on the card?) 2) When I get driving directions to a waypoint, it doesn't seem like I can get list directions like I did on my Etrex. Is that screen gone? Thanks for any help.

By "goto mode" he means using the Off-Road option. That did it! I went to MAIN PAGE > SETUP > ROUTING > GUIDANCE METHOD > change to "off road" Thanks! If you set the guidance method to "Prompted" it will give you the option of "Follow Road" or "Off Road" each time you goto a waypoint (geocache or anything else). You might find this useful if/when you have routing highway maps on your unit and actually want to have it calculate a route by road. That's exactly what I did. I have CityNav2008 loaded so I want to get driving directions as well as use it for geocaching.

Even when I have satellites locked, my compass page still looks the same, as in no 3 buttons on the bottom. I can't get any satellites by my computer so I had to post the pic like that.

I've got a question about the Vista HCX when I'm using it for geocaching. I've had the software updated to 2.6/2.6 for a while now and everything is working great. I was going to use it for the first time to find a cache and I wasn't quite sure which screen to use. It also seemed like info was lacking. I've got a bunch of caches loaded. I go to Main Menu > Find > Geocache and then select one from the list. I then get the option to goto/map/delete. I choose goto and it gets me directions to go there (I should turn City Nav maps off I guess). If I change to the compass page, this is where I feel that I am lacking some information that I have seen on other peoples screen shots. I have some information on the top of the screen and the compass. I am missing the 3 buttons along the bottom! FOUND/DATA/STOP. Where are they? Why is mine different? Without the FOUND button, how do I tell the unit that I have "found" the cache? Any help appreciated. Thanks. Some screenshots I grabbed off of a website: My Geocache page: My Compass page (I couldn't get any satellites inside by my computer so it doesn't show anything.) Note "missing" buttons along the bottom:

You do not need the update. 2008 City Navigator NT is what you want and it is the latest. You can only have one map on at a time. I asked the same thing of Garmin tech when I got my Vista Hcx.

I downloaded a bunch of geocache points from Garmin recently. They are listed in both my Waypoints and Geocache. Having them in my Waypoints list is frustrating. They don't belong there. Deleting it from my Waypoint list also removes it from the Geocache list. Is there a way show them only in the Geocache list? Thanks.
