I have a 200w and can not get the satelllite page by tapping on the bars in upper left corner
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rudy
Keep pressing the satellite bars for about 3-5 secs. the satellite page will open when you lift off

1- Is the "off road / pedestrian" option more accurate to locate the target when in the "wild"?
2- Does the satellite information screen default always with north at the top of the screen?
3- Does the red dot "disappear" when right over the target, and if so, how close does that happen?
1 - It only stops the nuvi trying to "stick" to roads, if the cache is close to a road, the nuvi main map screen will try to keep the "car" icon the "road" rather than show you off in the grass/countryside.
2 - The sat screen is not a map, it is north orientated.
3- No read my website: http://pilotsnipes.googlepages.com/finding.html
Thanks for reply, and for brillant macro and set up & instructions- makes buying the Nuvi well worthwhile.
re: item 3 - on your instruction page the picture of the "updated sat screen" there is no "red dot" showing, hence my reason for the original question. I assume from your answer that the "red dot" will always be on show but in the direction last calculated by the software.

Have recently started geocaching, and thought I would try using my 1 year old nuvi200W to help me find a cache using the coordinates function on the unit. First attempt I found it very time consuming to get onto the target, and I was beginning to think a "proper" GPS would be required.However went onto the Groundspeak forums for assistance, and found your webpage.
Went through the set up procedure and all downloaded perfectly, completed in about 1 hour.
Congratulations on a brilliant piece of software and for the very detailed set up instructions.
As you are urging others to do, I may gravitate to the more recent application now available in due course.

Hi all, I use a Blackberry Storm phone, and having witnessed the iphone geocaching app in action, have tried to find one for Blackberry but having a problem.
Can anyone recommend an app for this phone for geocaching searching and recording?
