We started caching just a few weeks ago, using our garmin auto gps, but soon realized we'd need a handheld. Yesterday our Colorado arrived! So far I'm very pleased with it, but have a few questions.
I attempted to load a pocket query of 500 using GSAK, but the Colorado just froze up on "loading maps". So deleted that query from the unit, then tried just 200, that worked fine. I thought it could hold up to 1000 but not like I'll ever need that many anyways.
Hmmm..unless I need to load them on a memory card?
It comes with US map preloaded, so I'm assuming I don't need to install any other maps? As far as driving directions to a cache, do I punch the coords into the auto garmin, then use handheld once I'm at the location?
It only seems to show major roads on the map, unless I'm missing something in the settings.
Is it necessary to set the screen brightness every time it starts up, or again, am I missing something in the settings?
Anyone who has one of these and can offer some tips, it would be much appreciated. Thanks bunches!
