+cases03 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Okay, so to many this is probably a stupid question. I just bought a Garmin 20, and loaded a bunch of geocaches to it. However, I notice that it loads the geocaches all of them closest to farthest but if I follow the list I could be going north to go back south to go east and then west. Is there a way to load them so I can drive in a circle and get them without knowing which ones are where?? Sorry just kind of confused, and hope that makes sense. Quote Link to comment

The unit will display them by distance from your current position or alphabetically. Not by most efficient route to all of them - that is known as the travelling sales person problem (Google it). Microsoft Streets and Trips can generate that for you. Otherwise - plan on planning ahead. Quote Link to comment

Ok, so I was playing with my GPS and figured it out..>Thanks! Quote Link to comment
