Will geocaches download to the Garmin RV795 Vehicle GPS

[+DesertDon749]

I have used GSAK and Nuvi GPS for years.  The Nuvi died and is no longer available.  I bought a DriveSmart and discovered that that GPS will not accept the GPS data.  Will the Garmin RV795 accept and display geocaches?

I have an older Garmin Drive Smart unit and I use GSAK to load caches on to it.  However, I just don’t load them directly onto the Garmin.  I use Garmin POI Loader that interfaces with GSAK by way of a macro available on the GSAK site.  The geocaches are loaded as “points of interest” rather than “favorites”.  Not sure if you have already tried this or if this something different than how you were doing it with your old unit.

Sounds like I have a project this week.  Thanks for the help.

West End 2,

 

I am having issues with the caches not being displayed.  I load the gpx files into the gpx folder, but when I go to the map they are not showing even with look ahead checked. I am using a Garmin RV 780 to get to locations while driving. Have any ideas or suggestions?
