User manual

The Sort and Search option lets you search for caches by GC number or name. This is very

useful. You don’t even need to put the GC bit in! With the Oregon you have to go into the

settings menu to change this. The keyboard is rather fiddly to use as it is split across two

screens.

There is also a comprehensive filter to search for specific cache types or features.

Once you select your Geocache you can view all the details of it including description, hint past

logs and so on. Options at the bottom of the screen let you view the cache on the map,

navigate to it and bring up more options.

The options include setting the cache status on the GPS to ‘Found’, ‘Not Found’ etc. You can

also write your logs and using Vantage Point upload them directly to geocaching.com. Writing

any notes or logs is a bit fiddly with the split keyboard.

You can also use the map display itself to find a cache and simply tap on it to bring up the

details. You can then navigate straight to it.

Camera and Voice Memos

The 510, 610 and 710 have a 3.2 megapixel camera which records both still and video images

with sound. The still camera is pretty basic and I found the white balance was off (images

came out with a slight purple caste). The shutter lag is terrible! Don’t try and photograph

anything that is moving! The video is very jerky and not the best quality. But then it’s a GPS,

not a video camera. Both still and video images can be ‘geotagged’ with their location. You can

navigate to an image or video. Downloading images is simple; they appear in a media folder
