+Sioneva Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 I was just given a brand new ETrex Legend, and while playing with it, I stumbled over an option to make a cache as 'found'... but I was never able to find the option again! How do I do this? And does it do anything special other than change the icon? Can I filter on the GPS to not see them? Thanks! Quote
+Train_Man Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 When you are navigating to a 'closed cache' icon waypoint, if you cycle through the pages you will find that page again. You are correct that all pressing found does is mark it as found by changing the icon. (It adds a calender entry on my 60CSx but I can't remember if the legend has a calendar). If you go to find waypoints, you can go to the menu and tell it to sort by icon, then select closed geocaches and the one you just 'opened' will not be on the list. Hope that helps you understand the geocaching features of the legend Quote

+Red90 Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 If it is a normal "Legend" (grayscael), it does not have that option. That came along when the color models were introduced. Quote
+Sioneva Posted August 20, 2007 Author Posted August 20, 2007 It's a blue Garmin Etrex Legend, and I saw the option on there... I just can't find it again. Quote

The blue "original" Legends, do not have a Geocaching mode. https://buy.garmin.com/shop/compare.do?cID=...pareProduct=327 which is where the mark as found option exists. Quote
+Sioneva Posted August 20, 2007 Author Posted August 20, 2007 Well, I know I saw it on there... so can we pretend I have a more advanced model, and list the steps how to get to that screen? I'll have no hair left at this point. Thanks! Quote

The default is a closed treasure chest. Choose find, then "Geocache". This will show all waypoints with that icon. Choose goto for the cache that you want and then change to the navigation screen. The found option will be a button at the bottom of the screen. Quote
+Thrak Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 I've never used that unit but, if it works like the 76 series, you will only find the option to mark a cache as "found" if you currently have that cache "loaded" as the one you are looking for and then it will only be available on the "arrow screen".

+briansnat Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 (edited) Well, I know I saw it on there... so can we pretend I have a more advanced model, and list the steps how to get to that screen? I'll have no hair left at this point. Thanks! Go to the waypoint and using the joystick highlight the treasure chest icon, click on it and you will see an display of assorted other icons. One of them is Cache Found. Use your joystick to select that one and you're done. That's the only way I know how to do it with the Legend. Edited August 20, 2007 by briansnat Quote

I was going crazy! Quote
