Love this site! I found my first cache over the weekend and am totally hooked on geocaching! I thought it would be easy to start with the caches that were closest to me, the micro caches. On two searches yesterday, I had the same problem, however, and hoped someone here could help.
I have an eTrex Legend. As I approached the cache, my eTrex said I was heading in the correct direction, and was within 20 feet. However, as I slowly got closer, the eTrex suddenly pointed in the opposite direction and read that I was around 80 feet from the cache. It did this on two different caches.
The first cache had some trees around, so I wandered in different directions, trying to get a better fix. The second cache had a building nearby, but wandering around still gave me the same result.
Is there something wrong with my eTrex? Me?
