Downloading to Garmin map 60csx

[+brose38]

I was wondering when you down load a cache from the wibsite, I only get the name of the cache. Is there a way to download the other information about the cache. I have been printing the page, but that is a pain, or is this what I should be doing???

GSAK has a macro, to download info as POI's, which will give you short description and hint.

You can load the caches as POI`s with Garmin free POI Loader and the help of GSAK (free with nag screen or $25) and this macro ( free). There is an 88 character limit on each page so if it goes over that it will create more POI pages.

I load the caches as waypoint ( or as geocaches if you use this feature ) and POI with just the hints loaded with the POI. If I do need the hint I just do a find/POI option to look it up.

There is also an option in GSAK to load the hints with the waypoint but you are limited to 30 characters total in the field note section.

You could also copy and paste the hints into the waypoint field note section in mapsource.

Do you have a Nuvi? Link

A free (non-shareware) solution is to use EasyGPS:
