Sending caches to my GPS

Recommended Posts

Can I mark 3 different locations and have all caches (possibly filtered by type) within a set radius sent to my GPS in bulk?

 

I have a free geocaching account and have just invested in a gpsmap64st and starting a new job I would like to fine some in a nearby forest of where I work now before not comning there often any longer + add caches from two other nearby forests.

 

Also...

What information will I be able to see of a cache when using it with a free geocaching profile?

The hints?

As a Basic Member, you can't download caches "in bulk". You would need to download each cache to your gps individually.

 

Make sure you have the full owner's manual, not the "quick start" version.

As a Basic Member, you can only download .loc files.

LOC waypoint file

This file type is available to both Premium and Basic members. It contains the listing title, GC code, and coordinates.

 

GPX file

This file type is available to only Premium members. It contains the listing title, description, public additional waypoints (such as parking coordinates), hints, and the 20 most recent logs.
