    60c Geocaching Mode Help

    in GPS technology and devices

    Posted

    I attempted to use the geocaching mode on my Garmin 60c for the first time today. However, when I hit the "GO TO" button on the waypoint information page, it would automatically caculate a route and give me driving directions instead of taking me to the geo navigation compass page. Even if I used the "PAGE" button and went to the compass page, It would be the normal compass page, not the geocache navigation compass page with the "FOUND" "NOTE" and "STOP" buttons on the bottom. To answer your first questions before you ask, I did have the geocache waypoint symbol assigned to the caches I tried to find, and I did access the cache waypoints by hitting the "FIND" button, and then selecting the "Geocache" symbol on the page. From what I read in the manual, this should put me in geocaching mode.

     

    So, what could I be doing wrong? Is there perhaps a setting that should be changed to prevent the 60c from automatically calculating a route from the geocaching page? Do I just have a defective unit? By the way, I did reload the software when I got home tonight, but I still have the same problem. Can anyone out there help me with this? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

     

    Thanks,

    Dave

    The First "no Members" Cache

    I would like to add that I will place an Anti-MOC too if a MOC pop up in "my" area as I don't like the GC community to be sepoerated into diffrent groups.

    Is it just me, or is this fuzzy logic? Allow me to rephrase to see if I understand correctly:

     

    I do not like it when people do a certain thing, and in order to show my displeasure, I'm going to do the exact same thing! That will show them!

     

    :huh:<_<

    On topic: Anyone with more smilies than me is just "in it for the numbers!"

    "Why am I doing this, just driving around to sign my team name on a notebook? What am I getting out of this? How is this improving my life? Why am I driving all over, wasting gas?"

    Those are the exact questions my wife asks when I drag her along with me!

    I'm a Premium member, but more proudly, I'm a Charter member.

    This may be somewhat off topic...but I have a question about the charter vs premium member thing. When I first became a paying member of gc.com (sometime in 2002) my profile said I was a charter member. Now it says I'm a premium member. But, my membership has never lapsed. What happened?

     

    Same for me, I used to be a charter member and it changed. What is the difference?

    I figured that the gas saved from just skipping one weekend of geocaching got me the money to pay the $30 for a year.

    I had to check to see if my Charter member designation is still in place - it is. I pay by the year using Paypal and it is set up to be automatically recurring. Maybe that has something to do with mine staying in place?

    I also pay yearly, automatically renewing, using paypal. That's why I know there has been no lapse. A glitch in the Matrix, perhaps. ^_^

    As for the rest of this topic...do what you want! Who cares what anyone else thinks about you or your social status! <_<

    Need Help Downloading Waypoints

    in How do I...?

    Posted

    When you do a search, (such as caches nearest to your zip code), you will get a page with the 25 closest results. On the far right side of each cache name is a checkbox. You can check as many of these as you want on each page of search results, then use the "download waypoints" button near the bottom of the page to download all of them at once. That should make things much easier for you!

     

    And I'll just throw this in because 15 other people are going to come along and say it anyway...you can always become a premium member and use pocket queries!

    Left you a Bungee cord and Tabasco (you'll need it for that tuna).

     

    See now it's the MRE Tabasco Sauce that I find so tempting to leave... but it's probably the most likely to cause trouble, so I wouldn't.

    Did I did I not read the info in that first link correctly? They put Tabasco in their eyes to keep them awake? Anyone ever hear of No-Doz? :unsure:
