Marking geocache found

[+raritan]

I am a newbie and have been downloading geocaches into my Garmin 76CSX. They show up as waypoints and I am unable to mark them as found geocaches. Is it an icon problem or what? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

On that unit, and many other Garmins, I believe you highlight the icon to change it.

Thanks. I understand about changing the icon. I do need to find out how to make the geocaches show up not as waypoints but as geocaches so I can mark them found. I must be missing something simple.

The unit won't go into geocaching mode if you are finding a waypoint using 'Follow Roads'. If you set the unit to 'Off Road,' you should get a compass screen that has "Found" as an option at the bottom.

 

To get the GPSr to prompt you for "follow road" or "off road" Press MENU » MENU » 'Setup' » ENTR » 'Routing' » ENTR, and set Guidance Method (the first drop down) to "Prompted".

That did it. Thank you very much. I just didn't see the "found" option on the compass page. I appreciate the quick reply too!
