1. Geocaching with Garmin eTrex Vista HCx | |
1. | What is geocaching mode? |
Geocaching mode on the GPS allows you to mark a cache as 'found'. It changes the icon and creates an entry in the calendar. | |
2. | What is required to use geocaching mode? |
Choose menu-menu-setup-geocache. Pick the icons you want for unfound geocaches and found geocaches. Configure your software to send geocaches with that icon. Now when you find-geocache, it will present a menu of ONLY the waypoints with an icon that matches your unfound geocache selection. When you have found the cache, just select "found" and the unit will change the icon, making it disappear from the nearest unfound list. | |
3. | How well is Garmin eTrex Vista HCx supported by programs to upload cache to the unit? |
This family of GPS receivers is very popular among geocachers. This family is well supported by programs like GSAK, the Geocaching Swiss Army Knife and GPSBabel | |
