Forerunner 405 questions

[+Insp Gadget]

I love using my Forerunner 305 for Geocaching. Excellent reception, small package etc. Great for when I find the time for a quick cache while traveling.

 

I now see the Forerunner 405 has been announced. Does anyone know if this one accepts waypoints? Does it have a compass screen? How about a "map" screen? Have any reviews been done yet?

 

Thanks in advance!!

I am new to geocaching. I got a forerunner 305 for christmas - not for geocaching but for running. Now I seem to be using it more for geocaching.

I haven't heard about the 405.

Would you mind answering me some questions about the 305 since you love it so much?

I'm not sure that I'm doing it right. I just click on send to gps...

Is it supposed to take me all the way to the cache???? For some reason mine always goes a little crazy the closer I get. It never zeros in, instead the closer I get it tells me to go the other way and makes me run in circles.

Is that normal or do I have to do something to fix this?

The product page lists it as storing 100 waypoints.

Mine takes me all the way to the cache with accuracy sometimes as good as 2m! Even in the wood it gets a strong signal and keeps it all the time. I have no idea why yours would make you run in circles unless you don;t have a good signal. Have you looked at the satellite page?
