  1. I'm getting on well with my new Garmin etrex 20x, but one thing that would be useful is to be able to edit cache names before loading onto the device, because the display only shows the first 15 characters of the cache name.

    So, for instance in a series of 50 caches called THE SERIES NAME #1-50, the display for each will be "THE SERIES NAME #", thus all cache names appear the same.

    Ideally I'd like to edit the name so that the number appears at the start i.e. "1 THE SERIES NAME", "2 THE SERIES NAME".

     

    Can they be edited/renamed? And at what stage of the process? (I've tried at List stage and that doesn't work).

     

    Thanks,

    Stu

  2. So I took the plunge and purchased an eTrex 20x. Tested it today on a local urban cache and it worked well.

    I've downloaded a number of caches ready for a weekend caching trip.

    On geocaching.com my lists are in three separate folders (Days 1-3, 40 per day), but on the device they appear as just one single list of 120.

    Is there a way of splitting them into the three folders?

     

    Also, can you view all caches from a list on map at the same time, like as a route, rather than individually?

     

    Many thanks

  3. 53 minutes ago, Atlas Cached said:

    When the Groundspeak server is functioning correctly, your saved corrected coordinates will be included when you download from your saved list.

     

    FYI, the 20x has been replaced by the 22x, which includes double the internal memory and TopoActive mapping.

     

    Thanks for the quick reply to my query, and the info re the updated 22x version.

    That probably explains the decent prices on the 20x now.

    Cheers.

  4. My iPhone 6 has become next to useless as a GPS these days, so I'm thinking of buying a Garmin eTrex 20x.

    I've read several reviews and it seems to be an ok device for caching.

     

    One thing I'd like to check first is... if a created list contains solved mystery caches with corrected coordinates, will it be the corrected coordinates 'Sent to Garmin', or the original dummy coords?

    (I'm hoping it's the corrected coords)

     

    Many thanks,
