kimnbair Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Today I got my first gps a magellan explorist 210 and my first cache was a multi, so I d/l the cache and uploaded it with the cache manager, so when I found the first one it gave me coords for the second part, how would I have put the coords for the second part into the gps? What I ended up doing was going by my current coords and walked around until I found the second set but that took so long and I walked all around when I could have walked in almost a strait line and had I been able to enter in those second coords I would have known where to go, any help would be appreciated!

Farwesternoutpost Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Please share the web site. I have had my 210 for 9 months and have been wandering around trying to match the coordinates.

The Munchkin Scavengers Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 As and FYI the manual is on the install CD (Like the 3rd option down). Quote Link to comment
+geognerd Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 As Munchkin Scavengers said, the manual is on the CD. If you cannot find the CD, Magellan has the manuals on their website. For the 210 in English, click here. Quote Link to comment

Follow these steps... 1. Press MARK. 2. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight the Location field. 3. Press ENTER. 4. Use the Arrow joystick in an up/down motion to increase or decrease the value at the cursor point. To move the cursor point left or right, use the Arrow joystick in a left/right motion. Input the data on the first line of the Location field. When done, press ENTER and the cursor will drop to the second line. Continue to input the data for the second line of the Location field. 5. Press ENTER. 6. Use the Arrow joystick to highlight Save. 7. Press ENTER to save the new POI. 8. Select the file to save the POI in and press ENTER. Hope this helps! Blair Quote Link to comment

+JohnnyVegas Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 What about just taking out the batteries and putting them into a battery charger while you put a fresh set of batteries into the GPS Quote Link to comment
