Oregon 200 Question

[+Team Cotswold]

I have not yet found a way to manually enter a set of coordinates into the Oregon 200. Yesterday we were cacheing and it was a progressive cache. Got the first one, based on the coordinates downloaded, but couldn't figure out how to put the next cache coordinates in.

 

Any help or advise is appreciated.

Just select "Mark Waypoint" from the menu, then hit "Save and Edit", scroll down to "Change Location" and adjust the co-ords as required. When you are done, select "Where to?", waypoints, and select your newly created waypoint.

There are a couple of ways to acheive this:

 

1) Mark a new way point. When given the option to either save or save and edit, select the latter. Next select change location and enter the new coordinates.

 

2) On my 550 I have an option in the geocache menu to enter next stage. I don't know if it was implemented on your unit, but if it was it is a much neater solution.

 

I hope that helps, and happy multi-caching

Under the geocache menu, when you're navigating to a cache, do you see an option to enter the next stage? I have it on my Oregon 300 so it should be on your 200. If you don't see it, it may be because your firmware is old.

 

You can also stop navigation, then Where To -> Coordinates. But that way you can't mark the cache as found without going to geocache, selecting the cache, and marking it as found.

It is there on my 200 with Software Version 4.00 / GPS Software Version 4.52
