[show hints and cache info on Garmin 60CSx]

I use a 60csx. If you use GSAK, you can get about the first five words of the hint to fit on your screen. Sometimes that's all you need, but sometimes that doesn't cut it (I hunted for one where my hint read "right next to the big..." The big what?? I took a DNF on that one.) If you'd like detailed instructions on how to get the first few words of the hint on to the 60csx, just holler.

 

You can get a PDA of some sort to store the hint/logs/description/etc. I haven't tried this yet so I don't know much about it. (I used to have a smart phone with all this info, but I ditched it a few months back.) You can also do it the old fashioned way and print out cache pages to bring with you (which is what I do now), but that doesn't work for caching on the fly.

 

Yes, if you could give me a hand with this, it would be grat. Thanks.

[show hints and cache info on Garmin 60CSx]

I had a basis membership and just change to a premium membership. I loaded a geocache by hitting the button "send to my GPS". When I open the geocache in the GPSr (Garmin GPSmap 60CSx) I am getting the same information I did when I had the basis membership. How do I view the hints and other information about the cache? I see there is a GPX file but don't know how to get it into the GPSr. Thanks in advance for the help.

[Garmin 60csx compass doesn't work]

I want to thank all of you for your suggestions. The thing that seems to work was to take the batteries and the card out and then replace them. So far it is still working.

[Garmin 60csx compass doesn't work]

Red arrow doesn't show on compass and no info in any of the boxes.

What version firmware is in the unit? I remember reading that might have to be reinstalled if you are showing v0.00

 

Version 4.00

 

The compass is on, the dial turn but there is no bearing or course pointer. The data fields (ie. dist to dest.)

are not showing the distances or time to reach dest.

[Garmin 60csx compass doesn't work]

My Garmin 60csx compass doesn't work. It worked fine for 5 months and now when I'm in the woods and I want to find my way back or to another location, I click FIND, WAYPOINTS, then I select (highlight)a waypoint or geocache, hit ENTER, GO TO, hit ENTER, and PAGE. Red arrow doesn't show on compass and no info in any of the boxes. I reset the GPS, calibrated, compass is on, and I am recieving satellites, but NO compass. This is the single most thing I need and it doesn't work. Any other ideas. Thanks
