This means you enter the coords to the cache and it routes you to it, street routing is not important to me for this (although useful), what I want is a arrow and distance countdown leeding me to the pre-enterd cache.


Does any of the GPS software (especially the Garmin 10) mentioned have this feature?

TIA
I was hoping someone would answer your geocaching question. I looked at the prices for Tom Tom 6 and Garmin 10 and these are just as much as a full GPS unit!!! Amaze is free but you have to have cell phone connectivity and when I hike, I am often out of cell range (Olympic National Park). Even Google and Live are not options for me.

Anyone know of any low cost maps to load onto a memory card in addition to software that is Geocaching friendly?

BTW, I purchased the Holux M1200 and so far I am impressed!
