Garmin 60csx waypoint names

[tigerfan27]

So I just got my first GPS and it is a Garmin 60csx. I began to download the geocaches onto my GPS and was a bit disappointed to find that the names were put in the format of GCXXXXX. I would like to change this format so I am able to more quickly find the names of the geocache I am searching for.

 

Is there anyway to change this?

Naming the software that you used would get you a better answer.

I am just downloading the geocaches off of geocaching.com. I am not sure what you mean by software.

If you ever use EasyGPS you'll find this functionality is available under:

Edit | Preferences | Geocaching

 

Note that using the GC* waypoint name may actually be easier to read on some units.

K well thank you I am using garmin mapsource so if anyone knows of a way to change the GCnumber to the actual name that would be helpful

If you use GSAK there is actually a macro for the 60 so you can load them in if you wish by name.

 

I personally prefer the GC Numbers over the names. When I click the GC number the name of the Cache actually shows up in the notes.
