Oregon 400t

[+boilerman28]

I have a question on my 400 which i just recently upgraded to from the etrex h. How do you get your compass to show bearings? And also can you get the compass to read like the etrex h did when you are searching for a cache, what i mean is the way it told you how far you are from your cache in miles then to feet when you neared it

 

thanks

The Oregon is very flexible in how you set it up. You can also use multiple different profiles for various activities each with a different set up. Check this page for lots of information on the Oregon and usage.

Make certain your electronic compass is calibrated frequently - or just turn it off.

 

If you are loading caches as GPX files in the [drive]:\garmin\gpx folder on your Oregon and selecting "GO" - the compass should behave the way you expect it to.

When i load caches i just click on the send to gps button on the cache search page. I know there is an easier way i just have not figured it out yet i downloaded gsak and easygps and they both confused me.

Learn to use pocket Queries to get up to 500 caches at a time - http://www.markwell.us/pq.htm

 

Load the unzipped GPX file into the [drive]:\garmin\gpx folder on your device and off you go - no need for GSAk or any other software.
