Garmin I3

[+pieces_of_8]

I keep looking at the Garmin i3 but i'd like to know if it can be used for caching..........

I've an Etrex Legend to take out into the field BUT can the i3 get me to that field??

 

Has anyone used an i3.....if so what do you think of it.... plus points and negative points???

 

1) Can you load caches as poi into the machine if so...how many?

 

2) Can you enter co-ords directly into the machine ie you've just done a multi/puzzel cache you just worked out where the last part is and you now need to drive to the final co-ords...can you type them in??

 

3) If you can enter caches as a poi and a cache is say half a mile into a field what does the i3 do?? Take you to the nearest road location or into the field..or neither.

 

Thanks
