+Stranger59 Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 (edited) Dear forum users. I have a question, I load a gpx file in my garmin 700, everything is fine, but the location where I want to search is about 300 kilometers away, now when I press the treasure chest I don't see any cashes. The strange thing is when I scroll to the place with the map in the Garmin I see them all on the map. Now my question is, when I'm almost at destination will they show up in the treasure chest list? Because if I do the same with a distance, let's say 100 kilometers away, he will show them. Edited February 18, 2023 by robertlipe De-uglified to make readable. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

You must get closer to the cache (less than 100km or so), to see it on the map, or even find it in a text search. 1 Quote Link to comment
