+Gareth23 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Help required please. I'm having difficulty entering co-ords for a bonus cache. The only way it seems possible is to drag to a point and save it as a waypoint. This is proving very frustrating as even with the maximum scale getting N and W settings accurate is beyond me. Isn't there a way just to put the co-ords straight in? Would be very grateful for help. Thankyou. Gareth23 Quote Link to comment
+weston wanderer Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Yes there is a way if it's like the Oregon 300 which I have. While navigating to the bonus cache select the geocaching menu. You should have Show description Show logs Show hint Log attempt Enter next stage Select the latter then input your coordinates. Quote Link to comment
+tarmacjohn Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) If it's the same as my 300 then select 'Mark Waypoint and then 'Save and Edit'. Then select Change Name and then Change Location. Then go back and select 'Where to' and select Waypoints and then choose your renamed location. Hope that makes sense, if not then I am sure there will be somebody else along who can explain it better. Regards Tarmacjohn Edited to add: Or you can do it as above which is probably easier Edited August 24, 2011 by tarmacjohn Quote Link to comment
+Gareth23 Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 Thanks chaps. The Garmin 200 doesn't have the necessary for the first solution but happily the second worked! I must say it seems an overly complicated way to achieve a pretty basic function, i.e. to mark a point and navigate to it... perhaps that's one of the reasons why it's no longer made. Still this will enable me to extend its life before an upgrade Quote Link to comment
