Although not the first device people would think of to take geocaching (with devices such as the Colorado, eTrex, or the 60CSx being more common), this guide shows you how to configure some tools to allow you to go geocaching with a Garmin Nuvi. The level of detail in the guide is wonderful, going through each step screen by screen, and even warning where certain Garmin devices can’t or don’t support certain features. A worthwhile read for anyone considering trying paperless caching to gain ideas too.
Head here for the guide.

Here’s a picture of the contents of a box that arrived from Garmin’s UK headquarters a couple of weeks ago.
Inside, a Colorado 300 , and GPSMAP 60CSx. Over the next few days and weeks we’ll be putting both of these receivers through their paces.
As part of the reviewing procedure we’re keen to offer readers the opportunity to ask questions about aspects of either unit, we’ll also be including a side by side comparison of performance and features present.

GPXView started out as simply as a viewer for the geocaching.com GPX files used by geocachers. However, it’s now expanded, and offers a near paper-less experience for those who own a Nokia Internet Tablet, and even has basic GPS support for those with a Bluetooth GPS or an N810 (with built in GPS).
The author plans to integrate the program into with Maemo Mapper or into navit, but in the meantime head off to his website for more screenshots and the install link.
