Easy way to find cache waypoints along a trail?

A proximity alarm will help.

Is there a question here?

Sorry, I'm not sure I'm getting it.

 

Are you asking how to easily find when you're within range of a cache on a trail?

 

We use two methods, one is a Oregon 400T GPSr that has a fantastic set of maps on it.

The other is a cheaper Garmin GPSr that has a great option of "nearest waypoint" on it.

I keep my GPS in the nearest waypoint screen until we get within 400 ft if I'm having trouble finding which one is closest. this is after my friend's maps get us to the right vicinity.

 

I have to write out my caches by hand. (my friend has paperless caching) so it also helps to plan out a route when I'm on the geocaching website at home and put the caches in the order that I'm likely to encounter them.

 

Not sure if this was any help or not. Hope it was.
