Recently bought a garmin etrex hcx gps-mainly to go geocaching. when i ask it to find geocache, it asks if i want to set up geocache, but when reply yes, all i can do is change the icon for find and found, and change if i want the entry logged into the calendar. the only button I can use to get out is the quit button above the light button on the right hand side as you look at it. then if i go back to the "find" screen it asks me again if I want to set up geocache. What am I doing wrong and can you help.
Firstly, have you downloaded the locations of caches to your Vista HCx, either from the garmin website or from Geocaching.com? which are the sites that I would recommend.
If you haven't done so, then you have to do that before you can be guided to the caches. On those websites it asks for the location from where you want to look for caches, then lists suitable caches which you can download to your unit, by connecting the USB cable that was provided with it.
Once you have done this, using the find geocache function will bring up a list of the caches that you have downloaded, listed by their geocaching ID. You can, by pressing the menu buttom on the left hand side, select the option to have the caches listed in order of how close to your location they are. To find a little more detail, select the cache with the rocker switch, and press the switch down, which brings up a screen with a bit more detail of the cache.
Hope this helps.
