When you "Send to gps" a cache page, it would be nice if on your gps you can see the date that a cache was placed.

Sometimes when hunting in the field, the date helps with the hunt as well as other things.

Date placed is not reliable. It can be anything the cache owner desires. The only reliable indicator is the date of the published log if it is present.

The date placed is already included in the GPX which means the Send to gps plugin probably already has access to it. The problem is that your GPSr doesn't have the ability to display it.

 

If you have a paperless GPSr then the published log and it's date will be visible in the logs. In time it will be replaced by found/not found logs but at that point those logs would be more useful that when the cache was published.

As indicated, this information is included in the GPX file that is created by the Send To function. It is up to the GPS manufacturer to handle this information.
