Does geocacheing.com support virtual caches? I looked for them but couldn't find any.

So for X-mas I got a garmin etrex legend hcx gps unit......And I cant figure out how to use the electronic compass. I turn on the gps wait for it to connect to satellites and I go to the electronic compass and the compass wont move when I turn. I.E when I'm facing north it says I'm facing west. And when I turn the compass stays still and doesn't move at all. And the same thing happens when I'm in the map.
Merry Christmas and Welcome,
The Vista's have the electronic compass.
If you have the Legend HCx, you don't have a compass per se. It is only a direction/bearing indicator. AND you have to be MOVING, (at least a little) other wise it'll wander around aimlessly.
Walk north 20 to 30 ft and it should point that direction, turn right 90 degrees and within 5 or so ft. it should show you headed east.
If you do the 'bee dance' don't try to keep up the spinning arrow - you'll get seriously dizzy!!!
The "direction/bearing indicator" is acting like it's frozen. And so is the map. And when I walk 40+ feet it still doesn't work. With a very good satellite connection.
