[Az-Geocaching] 60c geocache mode help

[Azpaul1]

The problem that you are describing sounds like your 60c is set to "follow road" mode.

Page over to setup, then routing, and see which method is listed in the "Guidance Method " window and see if follow road is listed. If it is use the drop down menu and select off road.

  I attempted to use the geocaching mode on my Garmin 60c for the first time today.  However, when I hit the "GO TO" button on the waypoint information page, it would automatically caculate a route and give me driving directions instead of taking me to the geo navigation compass page.  Even if I used the "PAGE" button and went to the compass page, It would be the normal compass page, not the geocache navigation compass page with the "FOUND" "NOTE" and "STOP" buttons on the bottom.  To answer your first questions before you ask, I did have the geocache waypoint symbol assigned to the caches I tried to find, and I did access the cache waypoints by hitting the "FIND" button, and then selecting the "Geocache" symbol on the page.  From what I read in the manual, this should put me in geocaching mode. 

  So, what could I be doing wrong?  Is there perhaps a setting that should be changed to prevent the 60c from automatically calculating a route from the geocaching page?  Do I just have a defective unit?  By the way, I did reload the software when I got home tonight, but I still have the same problem.  Can anyone out there help me with this?  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! 

  Thanks,
  Dave
