What is Geocaching?

Geocaching is a "hide-n-seek" treasure hunt game in which the players use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver to hide and seek containers ("geocache" or "cache") anywhere in the world.
A geocacher will hide a geocache, a waterproof container, that contains a log book (with pen or pencil) and some sort of treasures, then note the cache's coordinates.
These coordinates, and some other details of the location, are posted on a website like www.geocaching.com. Other geocachers download the coordinates from the website and look for the cache using their GPS handheld receivers. If you find a cache, you record your find in the logbook and online. You are then free to take an object from the cache in exchange for leaving something of similar or higher value, so there is treasure for the next person to find.

	All of the information you need to operate the eTrex Legend can be found on five main pages (or display screens). You can press and release the Page button to cycle through the Satellite Page, Map Page, Navigation Page, Trip Computer, and Main Menu Page. The Satellite Page shows satellite signal strength, displays when the unit is able to navigate, and tells the location by latitude/longitude. There is a “Skyview” graphic that shows the relative position of each satellite as if you were looking up at the sky. This display has each satellite's assigned number labeled. Also shown here are bars indicating signal strength for each satellite. The strength of the signal is represented by the height of the bar.
eTrex Legend: Puts the great outdoors in the palm of your hand.	The Map Page displays your present position and direction of movement using a triangular ‘Position Icon’ that is centered on the map. As you travel the map display leaves a “trail” (track log) of your movements. The map also displays geographic details such as major rivers, lakes, highways, and towns. A higher level of detail can be obtained by downloading maps from a CD ROM mapping program. The map scale can be changed from 20 feet to 500 miles. The Navigation Page provides active guidance with a rotating compass ring that shows your course over ground (track) while you’re moving and a bearing pointer to indicate the current direction to your destination (bearing) relative to the course over ground. The Status Window at the top of the page shows you the name of your destination, the distance, and the time to go. Two data fields are provided, and can be programmed to display a variety of navigation data. The “bent” (bearing) pointer arrow alerts you to the upcoming turn while you are navigating a route. When you get within 15 seconds ETA of the current point, the pointer “bends” to indicate the direction of the turn to the next point while still showing the direction to the current point.
	The Trip Computer Page displays up to eight different types of navigation data and are user programmable. Each data field is selectable and can contain one of many data information options. By selecting the information options that you prefer and arranging them in a desired order on the page, you can customize the Trip Computer Page to meet your navigation needs. The Main Menu provides access to additional eTrex Legend feature pages. From the Main Menu Page you can mark and create new waypoints; find map items such as cities, interstate exits, addresses, points of interest, etc.; create routes; save tracks; setup system operating features; or access and use unit accessories.
