Geocaching
Out in the field, pick a geocache to start with and then use the PN-60 to navigate to, log, and write field notes for one
geocache or a series of geocaches.

6. On the Next Geocache screen, select an option:
» Find Next Closest–View the details page for the next geocache and go back to step 1.
» View List–View the Not Logged list and pick your own geocache.
» Stop Geocaching–Stop navigating and geocaching.
Logging and Field Notes

a geocache at any time from its details page. When you log a geocache, you can write a field note that you can later
upload to geocaching.com.
