+sandsturning Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Hi everyone, I'm traveling to the UK soon to travel and geocache. I own a Garmin Etrek Legend H. I tried downloading a cache from the UK to see how many miles from my home (here in the U.S.) and it's not there. Does this mean my Garmin won't work in the U.K.? Quote Link to comment

(Find/Geocache/menu/search by name) The UK is too far away to be found when searching for nearest caches. Quote Link to comment

I never would have figured that out on my own. It works! 4386.14 miles away. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment

However if you get stuck, enter a post on the UK forum stating what areas you are visiting and I am sure you will get lots of help in highlighting some 'must see' caches in the areas you are visiting. Have a great trip. Quote Link to comment
Blue Square Thing Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 One thing you may want to bear in mind is that lots of caches near Olympic sites will be disabled pretty soon - there's a thread about in the UK forum. It'll impact quite a lot of London for sure, but also some other areas close to venues in odd bits of the country. But I'm sure you'll still find lots of cool stuff anyway :-) Quote Link to comment
