I like the idea of adding more cache types. I would also like to suggest a PnG category.

We are having the same problem with an Etrex Legend. I've seen this problem in the past too - usually when updates or enhancements to the site are being performed. Thanks!

We feel the same way. Love how the map is bigger and that we can determine the cache type on the map, but having to click on the icon to see what cache it is and whether or not it is active has made it more difficult to plan a geocaching adventure. I also agree that the 15 mile radius has caused problems for us. Would like to suggest putting the #'s back on the map and the cache listing on the right side, but color code the #'s so we know what the cache type is. Green = traditional; Yellow = Multi; Purple = Mystery, etc. I think this way we could have the best of all worlds. I would also like to propose a feature that would allow us the ability to remove disabled caches from the map - similar to hiding the ones we've already found.

I'm having the exact same problems and initially wrote it off as being new to the hobby. When I first got the unit, it was dead on accurate. Lately its been off significantly. I was standing at the cache (circled it for over an hour) and the unit indicated I was facing the complete opposite direction and 34 feet from it (with a 23 foot accuracy). The arrow spins and has me jumping North 10 feet, then South 25 feet, etc. I know the fun is in the hunt, but I'd like to at least be in the ballpark. I lose satellite signal frequently even in a clear sky without any tree cover and it seems like the unit has to refresh itself because the arrow does not always follow me and then suddenly it jumps. Of course, it now shows I'm way far away from the cache. A few seconds later with me standing still, it indicates I'm right on the cache. If Garmin cannot replicate the problem (although it doesn't appear that the same units given in the example of the problem are being used -Legend B/W vs. Legend Cx) and fix it, or offer a trade, I'm going to return it. I tried to call them today, but after 20 minutes holding, I had to hang up. I'll try contacting them again on Monday and will post their comments if they are at all helpful.
