Geocaching Observations [Bug 13, 38] [Crash 8] [MF 34]

[maingray3]

Found around 120 caches with this unit (H1i+ v7.07), hiking and a power-trail-ish. Having used multiple Garmin units to cache with for 20-odd years, I like the refresh of the app and workflow.

Things I noticed:

1. Geocache...with one selected and hit the menu...."update coordinates" and if you DO NOT change the coordinates, unit will crash and need a long-power reset. [Crash 8]

2. Inconsistent display of geocaching dashboard (or any dashboard?) on the navigation map. If you "page" across to another page, and head back to the navigation screen the dashboard is there again

3. When you navigate to a cache, it adds a waypoint to the map... which will show even if you have waypoint layer off on map layer setup...the auto generated waypoint is painful and covers the actual cache on the map. [Bug 13]

4. When you get close to the cache, a "you are nearby" screen pops up... with a few choices, such as "log" or "continue navigation?". It comes up at the most annoying time, about 40-60 feet away, too early for when you are often need to start looking. Should be an option (maybe it is). Once click "resume navigation" the arrow takes for ever to point back the right direction. [Bug 58]

5. Please add different zoom points for different types of map objects...showing caches only when super zoomed is annoying. A less tight zoom is very often required when choosing areas. [Missing Feature 34]

6. In the geocaching app, it looks like the default sort option is "name A-Z".. is there an option to change this? If not, the default should be "by distance". Distance is way more important than name. [Bug 38]

More when I use more!

You mentioned points for geocaching that bother me too.

Please elaborate:
