Congratulations.. welcome to the addiction

Another option (and it requires some "fiddling" of the TomTom is to try TomTom Offriad Navigator.

 

It's not written or endorsed by TomTom, and although I managed to get it working on my One XL, I couldn't input numbers (as the input screen was scrambled). Also, some of the pages on the website are French.

Good luck. I don't recommend this, but it might be a cheaper way out.

Hi there and welcome to the fun world of geocaching.

 

I had the same problem with a Tom-Tom, and it was frustrating. It snaps to the nearest road, so you keep circling to try and approximate the area you want to be in. Not cool.

 

However, I had a Dell Axim X50 that I figured could work. so I went off to eBay and got a CompactFlash GPS receiver for it. Add some GPS software on the PDA and it works a treat. Found 4 caches in no time.

 

You'll have a lot of fun, enjoy it

Hello

 

Don't know if this counts as lurking, as it's my first time on the forums...

 

Mate of mine got me into this geocaching stuff, and we've been out and found about 6 so far in the UK. I'm really getting addicted. Wonderful hobby, and a great way to get out and see some beautiful areas.

 

I look forward to chatting with you all
