  1. Hi Chief301, What I'm trying to do is, say, a multi that needs you to got to point 1, get info. point 2, get info. and so on, then, normally, some maths on the info. gathered to work out the final coordinates. I'm not after the final location, as you say, that would defeat the object. In the cases I've tried recently, the waypoints are available on the cache page, and indeed show up on the eTrex map. What I'm trying to avoid is having to manually enter the waypoint coordinates in the "enter next stage" function, just seems it shouldn't be that hard since the waypoints are associated with the cache ? Cheers Simon
  2. Many thanks for the replies, so it looks like the answer is no then, oh well... Cheers Simon
  3. H all, I have a question concerning multicaches and waypoints, specifically with the eTrex 20/30 and would like some advice please ? I have both of these units, but find it very frustrating to have to start a multi, get to point 1, enter next stage, manually input the coordinates, get to point 2 etc. I normally download a Pocket Query, and I can see I have all the waypoints associated with the caches. What I find doubly frustrating is that when I enter the coordinates for the next stage, the unit shows me a pretty blue flag indicating there's a waypoint where I want to go... I have seen mention of this in a few google searches, but have yet to see if any resolution has been reached. I'm not basically unhappy with either model, they're serving me well, but this is one feature I would have thought should be there on the eTrex ? If there is another make/model that has this functionality, I would certainly consider it, I'm enjoying geocaching, so investment in the right tool would be money well spent to me. The only other factor I should mention if anyone is going to be kind enough to point me towards another unit, is that I'm a dyed in the wool Linux user, so need to be able to do straight copies to the device (using rsync) rather than any fancy bolt-ons which generally only seem to be written for the MS platform. If anyone has any experiance or solutions to this, I would be delighted to hear them. Also, of course, if I have missed a thread here that answers this question, then please post a link. I should add that I'm running whatever the latest version of the devices soft/firmware is (downloaded through a windows box kept specifically for these sorts of purposes. Thanks in advance.
  4. Many thanks to everyone for their replies, I will try these out. Thanks again all Cheers Simon
  5. Hi all, I'm fairly new to geocaching and really enjoying it. One question I have is how to list all of the caches I've already found. I can see how to create lists etc., but would really like to be able to list found caches, even if they're not in a list I already have. Despite looking, I thought, fairly hard, I can't see a way to do this. Sorry if this has already been answered, but I wasn't sure what to search that would give me a close answer. Thanks for any advice. Cheers Simon
