+StarBrand Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 ... great thank you. if i hook up the gps to the computer can i just download everything to the gps ? Everything from a cache listing page minus the photos. Learn Pocket Queries and you can download up to 1000 at a time using criteria you specify wither in an area or along a route.

+YooperSnowman Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I have a Dakota 10 and it has worked well for me. As mentioned, as a premium member you can take advantage of Pocket Queries which can be loaded directly into your Dakota. You will have cache info, description, hints, and logs available to you in the field. I also have a Nuvi 1300 for the geo-mobile. I load the same PQ into it and it will route me via roads close to the selected cache. When I get out of the car, I use the Dakota to find GZ. Good luck. Quote Link to comment
