Original question asked on Aug 20, 2009, 6:06pm

i have just received the unit and love it so far, but having some trouble getting the interface with Geocaching.com to work smoothly - do i have to upload geocaches one at a time? And when i am going after a geocache, why can't i see the hint in the paperless mode? Am i failing to download it somehow? Finally - when choosing the "interface" mode - i have selected the "serial" option -- is that correct?
