Garmin Nuvi 650 cache alerts don't work?

[+obnsue]

Nubee here; Just did all the programming and updating and loading all the Geocashes into our Nuvi 650. According to the info sheet for geocaching with the Nuvi's I am supposedto be getting alerts as we drive by a cache. We reset the alert function from zero to 880 yards. Tested it today and no luck.

 

However 3 out of 3 searches with the Nuvi put me on to the cache within 3 to 4 feet. Pretty awsome.

 

Hope some one can tell me how to turn the alert feature on.

 

Thanks in advance OB

Which method did you use to get the data to your nuvi?

 

I used this one: http://pilotsnipes.googlepages.com/index.html and I had to select the "manual" option in the Garmin POI Loader and then specify 1000 ft for the notification.

 

The directions are pretty clear, and my above statement will make sense after reading it.

Yes thats the one we used. I set it to 880 yards. Guess I need to go back and reset it.

 

Thanks OB
