One of the neat features in the Lowrance Endura GPS is Paperless Geocaching. Here is how to load geocaches into your unit.
1. Download a list of Geocaches in GPX format from geocaching.com
2. Attach your Lowrance Endura Sierra GPS to your computer and access the drive that it creates.
3. Copy the geocaching GPX file to the GPX folder in the Lowrance Endura Sierra GPS.
4. Disconnect your GPS and power it on. The points will be sorted and you'll be able to access them through the various Lowrance menu options.

Have fun
Cheers

Some on the internet have listed detailed explanations on how to load geocache information onto the endura series, ignore it and follow the advice listed here. It's easier than most make it out to be.

Also, it doesn't end there. Once you find your geocaches and list them as found within the gps unit, hook the unit up to your computer, go to geocaching.com and upload your field notes using the link to the right under your profile page. All geocaches you have found will automatically be uploaded to the site where you can add log notes.

It recommends for you to delete the field notes file from your unit afterwords to avoid uploading the same data twice. I did have a problem with this. When I did so, the unit now has no recollection of which geocaches you've already found and you have to delete them manually. Perhaps there's an easier way which yet eludes me. If anyone knows a good answer, let me know.

Get a premium membership at geocaching.com. Create custom queries to include only those caches you havent found. Download the .gpx file and move it to the .gpx folder on your gps unit. After youre done hunting for geocaches, upload all your finds to geocaching.com, delete the .gpx file from your gps unit and reload a new one with a new query on your next hunt. Voila.
