nüvi caching – test

2trux downloaded his standard pocket query for 500 easy and unfound (by us) caches within a 26 mile radius of our house.  Then used the pilotsnipes macro to upload them into the nüvi.

Mounted the GPSr on the dashboard using Garmin’s portable friction mount (new design), then took off in the vicinity of the cache.  Since we live in the area,  we have a pretty good idea where it’s located.  Once we were within 750 feet (user definable number), an alarm went off, and a popup appeared notifying me that there was a cache nearby.  Selected the cache and let it route me to it.  Parked very close to it (parking lot micro) and found it, without resorting to our handheld unit.
