+OlderNDirt49 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I have been using my nuvi 500 for several months now. It is a little different then other nuvi's in that it was designed for geocaching as well as auto. I was at first frustrated in running into a few problems (ahem, cache name length), which caused the nuvi to lock up. I ended up getting a premium membership so I could get pocket queries. I then load multiple (4) pocket queries into GSAK where there is a command to do a smart shortening of the cache name when loading into the 500. My GSAK database has around 1800 caches that all load into the nuvi at a time and updating the information is quite easy. That covers most of the east half of Nebraska for me. Once you get that working, play with the nuvi a bit for your actual hunt and find what works best for you. For me, once I exit my vehicle, I change to walking off road mode and that works for me. Good luck and happy caching! Quote Link to comment
