+Looney-Tunes Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 (edited) Location / Compass Question Oregon 300 Sorry -computer said post failed -apparently not! When I am Geocaching and in Compass mode I have set 2 of the 4 optional screens at the top to show Location Selected (meaning Geocache I think) and Location (long/lat) which I think means where I actually am. Clearly I have this wrong because both always show the longitude and latitude of where I am and I have to keep going back to figure out what the actual longitude and latitude of the cache are. What am I doing wrong? Is this possible -my memory is terrible and I am trying to see where I need to go vs where I am in numbers all on one screen. Any wisdom would be greatly appreciated )) Edited August 24, 2008 by Looney-Tunes Quote Link to comment
+PhilAun Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I've noticed this on my Colorado as well, and also am curious as to the difference between these two field options. Quote Link to comment
+Redwoods Mtn Biker Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Location-Selected allows you to choose to display an alternative coordinate format such as UTM. I don't have a CO or OR in front of me, but on the 60CSx you select the alternative format from Setup>Units. Quote Link to comment

Any suggestions on how to see geocache destination (long/lat) and actual current co-ords on one screen- compass or other? Quote Link to comment

I can think of no GPSr that shows the coords of where one is GOTO'ing anywhere other then on an edit screen for the particular waypoint in question. There just isn't a need for that information to be displayed as you are going to a location. It's kind of like wanting a GPS to say, 'you are in Massachusetts right now'. Or 'the waypoint you are going to is in New Hampshire'. That information is available for the asking by using other methods. Quote Link to comment
