Remember, when you put new batteries in it...you always have to recalibrate the compass...turn 2 full circles.
It is in tha manual.

I Think you may have pressed the "Stop Navigation" menu entry
Try This:
Press the "Find" button
Waypoints....Enter
Highlight a Cache....Enter
Goto....Enter
Menu
If you see "Resume Navigation" Highlight that and press enter...That should put it back into navigation mode and in the menu you should see "Stop Navigation"...leave it that way.

***Don't get started or soon we'll be talking about "Party Line" and hand crank telephones...LOL***
Remember when all the drug stores had Tube Checkers?

***Geez, I'm in the middle of NJ and don't get cell phone coverage in a lot of places when out in the woods.***
I used to live in Springfield, NJ (near Union, Morristown) years ago and know some of the area. Maybe it is because the Cell Phone signals can't penetrate the SMOG coming in from NY, Staten Island, Bayonne, the Exxon refineries in Linden...etc.
Maybe that is why your post came across twice...confusion in the SMOG.....LOL

***For you young guys out there this is how TVs used to be back in the 60s***
For you even younger ones...you used a "Cat Whisker" on a "Galena Crystal and moved it around to hear radio signals.

***There's going to be a lot of folks with high-dollar gear who are pi$$ed off that they can't play.***
I have a 60csx...and I'll play....but most likely with a Pocket PC.

Maybe a divorce due to Geocaching.

***When I'm in the middle of the wilderness, I've no cell phone coverage. Perhaps not that wild around your home turf?***
Naw...not really that wild here in Madison, Wi. Outside the city there are lots of woods and farms...and cell phone coverage.

***13.2457 %***
I'm that .2457% because I only go when there is food.

PDA...PPC...Smart Phone....something.
I'll watch the Where-I-Go hardware forum and see what people have luck with.
I want something seperate from my phone...so when everything locks, freezes and shuts down in the middle of the wilderness...I still have a working phone to call the evacuation helicopters.

After all the reports here...I'm really happy now that I didn't hurry up and buy a Colorado. I don't want to dish out $500 to be a Garmin Beta Tester. With all the reported problems...I wonder if they can be fixed by just firmware updates alone...and not a whole hardware (chipset) redesign / replacement.
I wanted to get a Colorado to replace my 60CSX and start on the "Where-I-Go" stuff...but now I'll probably just get a PDA...probably a Mio (because they tested on a Mio 350)...and work with that.
I'll just have to watch the progress and posts of current Colorado users and see if by the end of 2008...there are positive posts. Until then...My 60CSX works just fine for me.

I've learned that people Love and Hate Peanut Butter Containers.

***I do not. I have not. And I never will, audit the paper logs in my caches against the online logs. Never.***
Ditto
The cache is there for the hunting. People can do whatever they want...the true Geocachers will actually find it...the others can have their grandmother sign it for them...or just dream about it and log it from the comfort of your home.
All I ask is that you hide it again...whether Physically or Telepathically.

The 60CSX serves me well....
-
My compass is alwas off after I change the batteries. I always have to recalibrate it.
The manual says that too.
-
I want more Park-&-Grabs...something where I don't have to walk more than a few feet....or even better, somehing where I don't have to get out of the car.
-
Was it a Fight-To-The-Death to claim the FTF?
-
***The puzzle caches have to be solved?***
Puzzling...Huh?
-
***Have you ever gone into a library***
Well that is like Geocaching...You go to the catalog find a book that sounds really interesting. You write down the books Dewey Decimal number (The Coordinates) and then go on your hunt. Once you find the book...you are disappointed because it is small book (Micro) and then refuse to look at it....and then swear off libraries.
-
I have my Body Guards hold him while I Look...even if he should find it...my Body Guards will convince him that I found it first.
Actually, I have met others at a cache trying to claim a FTF...we just look for it on our own...and sometimes you win and sometimes you don't.
-
***I don't guess there is an easy answer to solving a puzzle cache***
Yes there is...I put a puzzle cache out there for you Clueless People...

Attention Geocachers...Beware:
I use "Metamucil" containers...the 24 oz plastic ones with screw on top. If you get Diarrhea while doing my cache...don't say I didn't warn you.

***Drooling_Mongoloid that suit is SO last year and the protection it gives is questionable at best. This is the new suit we are wearing this year.***
Wow!!! I have to wait for my Bush rebate to get that.

***I guess it's not okay to throw peanut butter jars out the window of the plane while you are flying around shooting zebras either?***
Will you stop watching me....
Is it me or is GPS technology moving backwards?
in GPS technology and devices

Wind your own with that Ferrite rod in it.
