  1. Thank you for the advices... I'll try to use the compass page and "Go To" tomorrow, see how better it is than the masking tape method... I just hate to write down the cache coordinates and believe there must be a better way...
  2. Okay, I have used a GPS for geocaching for almost 2 years now and I have a 76CSX and a Oregon, but I have to admit I am still not sure how to best use these GPS for geocaching. I think there must be a better way to use the GPS to find the geocaches. My problem is, say for example, I am trying to find a traditional cache with the GPS, I download the cache information (GPX) to the GPS and yes, it shows all the information I need to find the cache. So now I go to the field. I select geocache, select the site I want to go, drive close to the site, and select the Map or Compass page which shows the location coordinates of where I am (I have preset to show the location in the Data Field). But every single time, I have to either memorize the coordinates of the cache, or most of the time, I write it down in a piece of masking tape which I stick to the GPS. I walk around, and when the coordinates in the location field matches that in my piece of masking tape, I know I am there and start looking for the container. I feel that there must be a better way than my stupid masking tape method. I search and search on the Net, but seems no one is talking about that. So, what did I miss? Please share with me how you do the geocaching, can you have the GPS showing the location coordinates side by side with the cache coordinates? Thanks.
