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

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 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.
