+weylan Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I had a gpsV and have upgraded to a Garmin Nuvi 500. So far a lot of cool features, including traffic that I use multiple times a day that helps my commute because I also got the MSNdirect traffic link. And recalculation of routing takes seconds instead of minutes. So I got that I can send Favorites to my GPS for geocaching, I can send items to the GPS wirelessly 20 per day or send Favorites to my Nuvi 500 via USB cable in GPX format. But there is a Geocaching section in the "Where to.." section. Any one have any ideas how to get this enabled and working? I believe I have to get a premium geocaching.com account for this? While I don't mind paying for something that will be useful for me. What features does geting the premium geocaching account do for the Nuvi geocaching.com "Where to.." section? I could not find a good descrpition of what it would do or what I would be able to get in this section, it just kept saying I had to activate it at geocaching.com but I could not find any descriptions of content.

By being a premium members you can do pocket quires and get up to 500 caches sent to you e-mail and you can filter the quires to you liking..then all you have to do is drag and drop then in you GPX folder and run your poi to load them on you GPS.. then when you driving around they will show up on your GPS map screen as small green boxes after you fine one and log it on your GPS the box will show open..really cool GPS I love mine Quote Link to comment
