Surely this because the 60c, as opposed to the 60CS, does not have an electronic compass. As soon as you start moving, it should sort itself out - I think!

Great!! problem solved. Thanks to you both.

Second point first. The soft ware is Map Source. First point; That's too easy; I'm a bird brain. Many thanks.

That's the one! So, the letters have no navigational relevance. They are similar to an aircraft registered number, counting in base 26. Please put me out of my misery and tell me I'm right for once, please

I cannot find a way to enter a waypoint other than opening an existing mark and then editing it. There must be another way surely?? Second problem is that when I try to use a route in my car all goes well until I get the final prompt to 'follow road' or 'off road'. In spite of the fact that I am sitting at a point on a road which is on the map, I get a message that 'there are no roads at the starting point'. I can use the 'off road' option, but it then cuts corners on the route. Any help appreciated.

As a complete novice to geocaching, I cannot get my head round the GC.... waypoint names. I am very much 'up to speed' on Lat & Long, grid refs, datums etc. Please throw some light into this dark corner of my mind.
