[New Geocaching Guide]

My 7 year-old on our first find...

 

[Paperful Caching (is that the opposite of paperless?)]

Definitely possible with GSAK. Do a pocket query for the parameters you want. In GSAK select print from the file menu. Then for print format click the "condensed HTML" radio button. You can have it decrypt hints and you can tell it to print each cache on a separate page.

 

I also sort my caches by alphabetical order before I print them...that way when my GPS tells me I'm near a cache it's easier to find in the stack of papers.

[Hints from pocket queries?]

 

The hints therefore can be viewed on their PDA OR on the web page of their PC but not on the GPS. The GPS only shows the co-ordinates and you have to enter those, manually or by downloading from your PC by connecting your GPS to the PC.

 

Not necessarily - it depends on your GPS. My Explorist 500 stores the hint but only up to a certain character limit (which I don't know off the top of my head.) Just an FYI.

 

Ditto this - my eTrex Vista CX stores hints as well (subject to character limit).

My first and only....Garmin Etrex Vista CX.
