freehighlander Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 (edited) Setting Up Geocache on GArmin GPS Did our first geocache yesterday with the kids a nice easy one . Cool dads Garmin Etrex Venture Hc work great even in the woods. It set us right on top of the cache well nearly But How do I get the geocache list onto the unit UNDER GEO CACHE section when I down load the the Cache lists It seems to go to Waypoints and the Geocache section remains empty when I click onto Geocache it says none found. What am I doing wrong. Great fun to use the unit tho and getting my eldest into Maps and Navigation Maybe should have posted on the getting started thread eh Edited August 10, 2008 by freehighlander Quote

4wheelin_fool Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 (edited) I believe you need to look at the program that was used to download the coords, rather than the GPS instructions. There most likely is a box somewhere that needs to be checked. You can also manually change each icon to the geocache icon in the GPS and see if that works. The geocache icon is a closed box.

Thanks for that. I just downloaded the cache from the GArmin site. Strait onto the unit But will poke about more Quote
+Team Taran Posted August 10, 2008 Posted August 10, 2008 I think you need to go to the setup screen on the unit and select the symbol you want to use for unfound and found geocaches. Check your owner's manual. Team Taran Quote
