+putsie Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 I am trying to figure out how to Geocache efficiently. I have an oregon 450t. Currently, I look at the map on Geocaching.com and look at the area I want go searching for a cache. I create a PQ, and download/extract to my GPS. In the field I can 'search for a geocache' and 'find next closest'. What I would like to do is bring up the map and SEE and icons where the GC's are. Am I missing something? THanks for the help fellow cachers! Quote
+Mineral2 Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 Surely you are missing something. Geocaches do show on the map with the Oregon 450t. Check your map settings to see what zoom level user waypoints are displayed. The 450 doesn't have a separate setting for geocaches as the 600 and later does. Quote
+putsie Posted August 29, 2019 Author Posted August 29, 2019 Thanks Mineral2. Only the one GC at a time will show on the map (the one I am currently tracking). Is this what you mean? Quote
+Mineral2 Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 No. You should be able to see all of them. When i get home, I'll break out my 450t to look at settings. 1 Quote
+putsie Posted August 29, 2019 Author Posted August 29, 2019 I'm checking 'User Waypoints' now. I have it 'off'. I have the option to change it to 'auto' '5m' '8m' ....'800km'. What would you suggest? Quote
+Atlas Cached Posted August 29, 2019 Posted August 29, 2019 Stop navigating to any geocache or other waypoint and look at the map again, at lower zoom levels until they all appear. 1 Quote
