Geocaching is a treasure hunting game where you use
a GPS device to search for geocaches—containers that
include a log for you to record your visit. Some geocaches
have trinkets you can take—just follow the “take one,
leave one” rule. To nd out more about geocaching,
visit Geocaching.com.
On the PN-60, a geocache is a special type of waypoint
used for geocaching. The Geocaches Page lets you view
a list of the active geocaches on your PN-60. Geocaches
are active on your PN-60 when you open a waypoint le
that contains geocaches.
Managing Geocache Files
Geocaches are managed using waypoint GPX les;
each le can contain up to 1,500 geocaches and child
waypoints. For more information about GPX les, see
File Management on page 85.
Tip Use Find to quickly locate a geocache in the open waypoint
le. For more information, see The Find Page section starting
on page 44.
Geocache List
The Geocaches Page displays a list of active waypoints
from the GPX le open on your device. The le name
and the number of geocaches and any child waypoints in
the le appear at the top of the page. When you highlight
a waypoint in the list, the Bearing and Distance info elds
display measurements as follows:
 From the GPS position when the device has a GPS x.
 From the cursor location if you are manually panning
the map.
 From the map center if the GPS receiver is turned off.
