+cacheinaflash Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Hello everyone, I just picked up an Omnitech GPS for my car, and it seems to be a good value, and it can be configured to run different things. I'm not really saavy as far as that goes, so I could use some help. Does anyone know the simplest way to use this fro Geocaching? Basically, I just want to be able to enter the cache coordinates and find it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment

You will have to replace the software on the device with something capable of this functionality. The omnitech is capable of running several win ce based mapping softwares. TomTom, Igo8, Garmin OziexplorerCE and others have been successfully installed on this device. Just remember licensing rules apply when going this route.

I have the same device and use something called "Cachewolf". It is similar to GSAK software but free of charge. Quote Link to comment

Could you share more about how to use it with the Omnitech, please? Quote Link to comment
