tylosaurus Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I'm surprised this hasn't showed up here yet. Its an outdoor centric GPS watch, with a color touch screen, that supports Garmin's topo maps and Satellite photos. It will do paperless caching too.

+Chrysalides Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 My eyes being what they are now, I'm going to need one of these to read the watch. Quote Link to comment

+geodarts Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 It will do paperless caching too. Why do you think that? On the first look link, there's a table. Under "geocaching" it says "yes". But who knows what that really means. As far as I can tell, the Garmin site does not list "geocaching" as a feature or specification, although chirps are listed as a geocaching accessory that it supports. The "first look" review states it will support geocaching, but I agree it is hard to know what that means. It will support coordinates, mapping, and apparently chirps. In any event, I probably would not want to use it to read the description for an earthcache or to do any cache where the description is important. Although I would be surprised if it were as paperless as some of the other garmin units, time will tell. Quote Link to comment
+Wet Pancake Touring Club Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I asked Garmin support, the Epix will do paperless geocaching. It support GPX files, but not GGX. Skye. Quote Link to comment
