Garmin.com Geocache Feature -- Questions

 

Hello!

I recently discovered the Garmin Geocache feature. Using that I loaded 10 of the nearest caches. However, is there a way to find them under POI's or in the menu...because currently I can only find treasure boxes on browsing the map...the problem with that is you can't view any additional information on the cache.

Any tips would be appreciated!

Thanks!

P.S. Has anyone ever had any trouble getting the Garmin Geocache 30 day premium trial to work? Mine always refuses to load the communicator plugin!

Look in Favorites

If they show on the map, they are loaded on your unit somewhere. When I was playing around with GeoCaching, the sites always downloaded their locations to my Favorites.

Favorites

JohnC is right, they are loaded in as favorites.

Have you seen dog_poop's post about paperless geocaching?

Caches and associated info are saved as POI files. It's on my list of things to try...

Free Trial for Garmin Colorado Only?

Do you mean the trial offer from this link?
http://www.geocaching.com/garmin/freetrial.aspx

Have you contacted Geocaching.com about the problem?
It appears to be for Colorado devices only.

"If you purchased a Garmin Colorado, congratulations! Did you know that registration of your new device at mygarmin.com entitles you to a complimentary 30-day Groundspeak Premium Membership"

I have the Communicator plugin installed on both XP and Vista and get the "Unable to load plugin" message from the link, after an initial message asking if I want to allow geocaching.com to access my Garmin device.
