+Fratt Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 When I'm going to a Cache it says arriving and it will not switch to the compass, So that I can see what Direction and how far to go. Is there anyway with this unit once you get so close that it will flip from the map to the compass?? I had the Venture for 2 days and it did this.. Thanks for the help... Quote Link to comment
+Miragee Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 After you arrive at your destination using the "Follow Road" option, you have to do another Find/Geocache/Off Road to get the compass page and the arrow. This can be confusing if a "turn" into a park or open space also looks like it might be GZ. Quote Link to comment
+Fratt Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 So it will not change to the compass by it self? I had been just flipping to it top button... Quote Link to comment

+JeepinOregon Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 If you have it find the cache by off road, but flip to the map, you can then see the compass of course, if you flip back upon your arrival. This will not autoroute/give directions, however. In the end it's simpler to just "recalculate" and choose off road when you get to your destination. Quote Link to comment

+Chuy! Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 You GPS will not automatically go to the compass page, or switch to off-road mode. Hit menu-menu-setup-routing. You have the choice to be prompted for faster time/shorter distance and off-road/follow road. Select Prompted for both or just the off-road/follow road. If auto-routing and you want to go to off-road mode, hit the menu key and select recalculate which will prompt you to select between off-road mode and follow road. Quote Link to comment
+Fratt Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 Yes I guess I was just confused because I had the Legend for 2 days and when I used it it would flip to the compass when I got so close to the cache. Thought that since it was almost the same model It would work the same.. Thanks for the feedback... Quote Link to comment
+Chuy! Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I believe my Vista did the same thing. I loaned to a friend; so, I can't look this up. But I know my Venture Cx and Vista HCx do not. What you can do is change the sequence of the pages so you only have to press the top right button once to go from map to compass. Quote Link to comment
