I create WAV files with words such as: "A geocache is nearby". And if you do not want the cache alarms as you drive, just remove the card.

I do not remember the source but I have the file. By Aaron Wein The Nuvi 205W is part of Garmins affordable line of GPS units. This will bring up the "Where Am I" screen with the position coordinates. The problem with doing this is that after you get out of the diagnostics, it will take several minutes to again acquire a position fix.īetter, is to touch the vehicle icon when on the map page. If you push and hold the battery meter in the upper right you will get into diagnostic screens. Regarding Post #3, yes, you can push and hold in the upper left for coordinates, but it is the signal meter in the upper left, not the battery meter. Great!!! Will give it a try in a few day! Thanks a million for all the comments!! Just wondering.now that I am almost done reading "Geocaching for Dummys", anyone connected the 255W to a laptop with caching/mapping software? Now this sounds like fun!! We started with the same GPSr and did OK for the first 30 or so! Also, watch the bottom right on the screen and you can see how accurate the unit is tracking.
It really helps to have an idea of your N/S/E/W directions so you have an idea which way to move, but just watch the co-ordinates change as you move along and you should get as close as with a handheld unit. Find the co-ordinates in the top center and start moving until both co-ordinates coincide with the caches numbers. This will bring you to the real-time sattelite screen. Next, go back to the Map/Where to? screen and touch the battery meter in the top left corner. Once parked somewhere close, switch it to Pedestrian Mode and close in as close as you can. With the nuvi 255W, use the regular Automotive Mode to get you in the vicinity.
