+FinnAlex Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Do anybody know if it is possible to set the distance showing geocaches to be found? I live in Denmark and have just downloaded some caches in London, England to my Oregan 600. But they are not shown in the list of caches on my GPS, Only caches below XX km are shown. I can see in BASECAMP, that they are on my GPS. I anticipate they will show up, when I am gloser than XX km Finn Alex Quote Link to comment

Not sure of your unit, but, I think if you search near London on the unit, they should show. eg, scroll the map, or use London as your centre for a search.

+JohnCNA Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Search for a city, then use Search Near and they will show up. Quote Link to comment
+larryc43230 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 To answer your specific question, there is no way to change the distance (from your current location) within which geocaches will be shown. I wish there were a way, but there isn't. --Larry Quote Link to comment

insig Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 You can switch the device into demo mode (setup -> system), search for a city and navigate to it -- it will ask if you want to simulate navigating it or to move to the location. Pick move to the location (make sure you're in direct routing mode (setup -> routing). Quote Link to comment
+Mineral2 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 They'll show up on the map if you pan the map to London. Quote Link to comment

+FinnAlex Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 Yes it works Quote Link to comment
+BAMBOOZLE Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 They'll show up on the map if you pan the map to London. This is what I do and then zoom in.....always good to check if they are there. Quote Link to comment
+Walts Hunting Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 You can also search by name and select one to go there Quote Link to comment
+larryc43230 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) You can also search by name and select one to go there At least on my Oregon 650, search-by-name results are also distance limited. See my previous post on this subject. --Larry Edited February 11, 2015 by larryc43230 Quote Link to comment
