Geocaching is a popular activity with GPS users. People will hide caches ("treasures") and record the

latitude and longitude for the cache. They post these locations on geocaching web sites that can be

found on the internet. You then enter these geocache waypoints into your Magellan Triton either by

creating a geocache waypoint or by saving the geocache file from the internet, adding it to the

VantagePoint software and uploading it into the Magellan Triton.

For additional information on geocaching and geocaching events, go to

do a search on geocaching for other geocaching sites. Premium members of Geocaching.com can

transfer .gpx files directly into the VantagePoint software and then transfer the information into their

Magellan Triton.

Creating a Geocache Waypoint

You may want to create a new geocache waypoint for others to find or you may want to input a

geocache waypoint that someone else has established that you can use the Magellan Triton to find.

From the Map screen, press MENU.

Select Create.

Select Geocache.

Select from Current Location, Point on Map or Coordinates. (If you are marking a new cache

location you would probably select current location. If you are entering waypoint

information manually, you could select current location or Coordinates.)

The Geocache Waypoint Details Information page is displayed.

On this page you can edit the waypoint the same as a user-

created waypoint. The Geocache Waypoint Information page

also includes Difficulty (1 through 5 with 5 being the most

difficult), Terrain (1 though 5 with 5 being the most difficult),

and the name of the person who hid the cache (Hider).

Press the PAGE / GO TO button to display the Details page.

Some geocaches will have hints included to help in finding the

cache. Select the desired field and use the keyboard to enter

the hint and descriptions.

Press PAGE / GO TO to add media (image, video or audio) from

the SD card installed in the Triton.

Press PAGE / GO TO to access the Options page where you can turn the proximity alarm on

or off.

Press PAGE / GO TO again to return to the Information page. Select the green checkmark to

save the geocache waypoint.

Editing a Saved Geocache Waypoint
