+Prime Suspect Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 Unless you're going to be also buying mapping software, you'll probably never create a route with more than 50 waypoints. "Don't mess with a geocacher. We know all the best places to hide a body." Quote Link to comment

If youre not a fanatic, will 25 waypoints be enough? thanks wbigg@hotmail.com Quote Link to comment
+Bilbowolf Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 The number of wayüpoints does not tell you what distance you can cover. The number does tell you though how much detail you can include in a route. The greater the distance (of the route) the more waypoints you will need for detail. With my etrex I could cover about 300km, BUT travelling a lot on highways. My tip? Buy a GPSr with the cap. to store more than less. For GeoCaching though # of wp / route is rather irrelevant.
