puzzle caches


Recommended Posts

I have solved some puzzles but cannot find a way to get to the final co-ordinates. I have tried adding them to my GPS as Waypoints but do not end up in the right locations. I have tried to save the changes in the cache display and save the Gpx file to my GPS but it does not find it when I view my caches. I have a Magellan 610 GPS. Any suggestions?

Edit the coordinates on the cache page, and then download those "corrected" coordinates.

 

You can also create a bookmark list of "solved puzzles", once you've edited the coordinates on the cache pages.

 

Then you can run a pq of that bookmark list.

This is the best solution as the updated coordinates get written to your GPS (or PQ file).

 

However there are some puzzles that are meant to be solved in the field and there should be an option in your GPS while you're actively routing to a geocache to change its coordinates. Maybe look for "next stage" or something along those lines. You'd need to be able to do this for field puzzles as well as multi caches.

If you're not ending up in the right location in assuming you have actually entered the coords and tried to navigate to them. That leads me to think that maybe you are not using the correct format. Make sure that the gps is set to the same format as the coords that you have solved.
