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 fi 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 fi le
that contains geocaches.
Managing Geocache Files
Geocaches are managed using waypoint GPX fi les;
each fi le can contain up to 1,500 geocaches and child
waypoints. For more information about GPX fi les, see
File Management
on page 85.

Geocache List
The Geocaches Page displays a list of active waypoints

and the number of geocaches and any child waypoints in
the fi le appear at the top of the page. When you highlight
a waypoint in the list, the Bearing and Distance info fi elds
display measurements as follows:
From the GPS position when the device has a GPS fi x.

the map.
