Hint's on the Dakota 20

[+jsuvman]

Just picked up a Dakota 20 for my wife. I sent a few geocaches to the device without issue using the "Send to GPS" button on geocaching.com. I have a Premium Membership. Everything shows up, Name, Coordinates, GC#, Description, etc., except the Hint's. I made sure I picked ones that had hints.

 

Am I doing something wrong and/or is there some feature or setting I have to turn on in order for it to also send the Hints? The reason she picked this unit is for the paperless geocaching and Garmin's site said it sent everything to the GPS including the hints.

If you select the cache and touch go then go back to the geocache menu it will bring up a list

 

Show Description

 

Show logs

 

Show hint

 

log attempt

 

If you cant pull this list up your unit might have a problem.

 

You have to have the cache you are trying to find selected by pressing the go button first.

Thank you. That solved the problem. I never hit "GO". I was just viewing the description from the button on the top of the map screen when you first select it. Thanks again for the quick response.
