How are you downloading your WPs to your GPSr?

 

There is no reason hints should appear in your WP, unless you explicitely configured your upload software to place them somewhere.

 

As an example, GSAK allows me to put the hints in the WP's "message" field on my Magellan Meriplat. Note this only works for the first 200 WPs, as only 200 out of a total of 500 can have a "message" field attached.

Make sure you are getting a GPX and not a LOC file, and use GSAK to put it in the memo field. Like Jiheffe said, your GPS may limit how much you can put there so experiment a bit.

Where in GSAK can you set it up so that the hint is downloaded to my GPS with the coordinates?

It is one of the smart code, I believe it is %hint. It will put the hint in the message area instead of the cache title.
