Your Garmin device can do more than help you find places–it can help you find treasure! For those of you not already in the know, I’m referring to Geocaching.com by Groundspeak.
Geocaching is an adventure game in which GPS users hide and seek hidden treasures, or caches. One of the first caches was hidden in Oregon during 2005, and since then, the sport has grown considerably and is now a popular world-wide activity.
Geocachers can easily send cache locations to their Garmin devices using the “Send to GPS” feature that was recently added to the Geocaching site:
The “Send to GPS” icon, circled above, transfers cache destinations to the device with a single click of the mouse.
Transferring cache locations to Garmin devices is now much easier for both veteran and beginner geocachers. So whether you’re new to geocaching or list it as one of your favorite hobbies, use the the Send to GPS feature with your Garmin device and cache your heart away.

This is a great community. Now if there was only a Mac version…

Mac version is on its way. I’ve started testing it here in the office so rest assured, it is coming soon.

Can you do geocaching with a Nuvi 200? I found a product review that has the sentence “And if you need to use the Nuvi 200 for emergency geocaching events, it will navigate to a set of co-ordinates”. I can’t fugure out how to get coordinates into the N200
