    Default Nuvi Geocaching

    Quite a few cachers have a Garmin Nuvi of some variety, but only use it to navigate the car from place to place. For those who weren't aware, it's a great paperless caching tool. Load as many caches as you like (to the SD Card if necessary), and include spoiler photos (not all models are capable of this). The excellent jjreds macro formats the cache data (you'll need GSAK - free - and a pocket query).

    Look at these photos, using one of the cheapest models - does anyone else use the Nuvi like this?

    I use my nuvi to store information about caches and to drive up to it. Then its out of the car and I use my etrex to find the cache itself.

    So do I...I still use the Legend to get from car to cache. And the Legend has the basic cache details (plus hints) on display, so normally you don't need more than this. As the Etrex Legend can hold waypoints, maps and basic details for a virtually unlimited number of caches (I usually don't bother with more than about 2000), in most cases it's enough.
    But the Nuvi has the full cache description. So rather than leaving it in the car to attract thieves, I suggest bringing it along so you can refer to the full description and previous logs if need be.
