Thank you for contacting Garmin. Quote Loy (Garmin) Some of this pertains to the limited compatibility with nRoute and MetroGuide ...

Hi Guys, I recieved Metroguide 6 in the mail yesterday after e mailing GME electrophone. I'm happy to say that V6 has worked very well for me, it has more detailed maps both around the city with the inclusion of all freeways, streets, estates and major roads to date. In the country Major frequently ...

Nroute will work with Metroguide, as I am using it myself. But you will not be able to automatically route it will only put your car onscreen and if you select to route to a waypoint it will just have an arrow pointing in the general location of the waypoint, just like geocaching in the bush with a ...

Perfect to be mounted on the windscreen of the car, with video cameras at the front bumper, and maybe one in the rear so you will never have to look back again. Not to mention the distance detectors. You can have a map come up on your windscreen as you drive.. Or you can mount it on the back window ...

If properly maintained and an interesting place and or if some history is involved I would do ten usually with a bike or with a few hours to spare. But if its out in just a normal bushland I would go back down to 4 or 5. Also it depends on how far apart the waypoints are, if the cache leads me more ...

If I have had a good search for the cache for at least 30 minutes and cannot find a cache I will log it as a DNF. Although sometimes if I revisit and still cant find it I just say nothing... especially if there have been finds between both my visits... It would be a great idea if everyone logged a D...
