+Degai Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I got a Garmin CSx60 for Christmas and have yet to use it when I am geocaching. (I have been borrowing a Magellan Sports track) It seems like a really cool unit and to be honest, I haven't had a lot of time to read the book and figure out exactly how to work everything. I did find out how to connect it to my computer and download waypoints by going to the Garmin website. However, I was disappointed that they were only numbers, not the name of the cache. Am I doing something wrong or is there some way to get the names of the caches instead of the numbers? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you have any tips or suggestions, I'd appreciate those, too. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment

I'd suggest that you get GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife). With it you can load your geocaches by name or anyway you want too for that matter. I've included a link for you. http://www.gsak.net Edited April 26, 2008 by RonFisk Quote Link to comment
+Team DEMP Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 I'll second GSAK. But you do have a couple options. One is MapSource reads a GPX file so you can load MapSource with a GPX from this site and transfer it to your unit. You can do the same with http://www.easygps.com too, as well as others. But when you get serious, GSAK is THE tool. Quote Link to comment
