+cash king Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I marked a waypoint and then when I wanted to go to it I could not get the compass to point in that direction and also most important to me was how far away it is from me. Is there a way to do either or both of these things. I am using a Garmin 550t. Thank You Cash King Quote Link to comment
+Mockingbird559 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) Look under Waypoint Manager. Distance is shown for each item. oops forgot...Choose the waypoint and you should be able to see the direction using the compass. Edited April 23, 2014 by Mockingbird559 Quote Link to comment
+Walts Hunting Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Are you perhaps using the geocaching dashboard and looking at the compass on top. That ALWAYS points to the nearest loaded cache. To go to a waypoint you might want to change to the recreational profile which has a different dashboard and won't do that. Quote Link to comment

It all works now. I was puzzled as to why the compass shows how far it was to the closest Geocache. The manual doesn't show any of that. Thanks to the both of you. Cash King Quote Link to comment
