Garmin 60cs, Geocaching & Multi-display 4 Lat/lon

Recommended Posts

I have a 60cs and am new to Geocaching (and having a good time with it!) But I'd like to know if anyone has found a way to display the lat/lon for your current location as well as the destination.

 

In otherwords something like:

Current

N 33.38.xxx

W 117.35.xxx

 

Destination:

N 33.40.xxx

W 117.33.xxx

 

It seems like I have to go back and forth between a screen that shows current and a screen that shows the destination.

 

Thanks!

Hmm... Are you trying to use that for navigating to the cache? If so, there's a much easier way. Create a waypoint and enter the coordinates for the cache. Your GPS should have some means of then selecting that waypoint and giving you the bearing and distance to it. I've not used the 60cs, but I've got an eTrex Legend, and it's as simple as choosing Pan Map, selecting the waypoint with the cursor, and pressing the "Go To" button at the bottom.

 

If you're trying to do something entirely different than navigate, then just disregard this. ;-)

Go to your TRIP COMPUTER page. you can then highlight any of the fields and select it. You can change each of them to read what ever you want. So change one to CURRENT POSITION and another to DESTINATION you can then just look at that one screen and have both LON/LAT readings. David has a good point tho if your using it to find a cache, much easier way. But if your looking to get actual readings whe your allready found it this is the way to do it.
