When
a geocache is found,
the unit will mark the cache
found, log an entry into the
outdoor calendar, and provide
an option that—with one
button press—will show
the next-closest cache.
During navigation
toward a geocache, a note or
hint about the cache is readily
accessible (if the cache waypoint
contains such information in
its comment field).
The Compass
page becomes tailored to geocaching
while the user is navigating
toward a geocache. |
