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.
