Omnitech GPS for Geocaching; Help?


Recommended Posts

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!

the software that comes with the device isnt capable of direct input of coordinates. 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.

I was able to find the Cachewolf homepage, but unable to understand it. Could you share more about how to use it with the Omnitech, please?
