Idaho_Clovisman Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Hi and thanks for reading this,OK i am using easy GPS and like i said i have a rhino 120 ( i need the radio) now when i download waypoints in a GPX file they are transferred to the GPS and they appear in the waypoints, in this format GXXXXX to find out which cache i am looking at i have to bring up that waypoint and scroll through where the co-ords are stored to see the cache name MY QUESTION...is there any way to have the name of the cache displayed without going through that each time till i find the cache i am looking for? thank you .

ajacobs Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 That G number is the number of the cache and is also found on the cache page. Many units only take up to six characters for names. So that is why these numbers are used as opposed to the cache name. Which would be hard any way becuase to different caches could easily have the same first 6 letters. Quote Link to comment
Idaho_Clovisman Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 OK so to sort out the cache names you have to have a list OR do it manually..HMMMMM cumbersome to say the least but i guess that is the way it is ..thanks Quote Link to comment
ajacobs Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Yes, most people bring the printouts of the cache page with them or they have them downloaded to their geek-a-sketch (hand held computer). That information is on there. Along with lots of other stuff like the clue, parking location or other instructions. Quote Link to comment
