9.2.5 Arrival at the geocache
When you arrive at the geocache, you should deactivate the setting Position on road
(Settings > Map presentation > Position on road). In addition, you will receive a message
when you start the geocache. The background to this is that, when this setting is activated,
your position is compared with the road network. However, as geocaches are usually not on
a road but are concealed in an area of woodland, bush etc., you are not guided to precisely
this point. For this reason, when you arrive at the geocache, you should follow the message
and deactivate the setting.
Note: After the geocaching, you should change this setting again for walking expeditions and
bike rides.
Furthermore, the Actions button appears on your navigation screen. You now have the
following options:
Abb. Cache– here you can abort the cache.
Next waypoint – "Next waypoint" allows you to start navigating to the next station if several
waypoints exist for the cache.
Log cache – here you can log the cache and leave a comment about the particular
waypoint/geocache.
Cache details– here you can display the geocache details in the general detailed view.
Note: You can view the details about the geocache at any time on the main menu under
Active route > Active geocache or place this function on the rapid access menu (see Chap.
6.3.10).
9.2.6 Delete geocache
Geocaches can be removed via the device or via the Falk Navi-Manager. To delete a
geocache directly on the device, you must delete the corresponding file for the geocache in
the GPX manager (see Chap. 13.3). Or you can delete the geocache via the GPX import of
the Falk Navi-Manager (see Chap. 15.2)
9.2.7 Logging in the community
The final steps of geocaching are the logging of and commenting on the cache and the
subsequent uploading of the saved data.
You can log and comment via the website Geocaching.com.
To do this, register at Geocaching.com and search for your geocache that you would like to
comment on. Once you have found the cache, call up the detailed view and click on Log
your visit.
If you now specify the type of log, you can also leave further comments.
If you have left a trackable in the geocache, specify this with the additional track number so
that the cache owner and the other cachers are informed. If you take a trackable away with
you, this should be logged. To do this, specify the code on the trackable and log the fact that
it has been taken away.
You can make the logging process simple by means of a file which has saved all of your logs
with comments. These log data, status and comments are saved in the file
geocache_visit.txt.
When you call up the profile at Geocaching.com, the function "Manage your fieldnotes" can
be called up. There you should call up the function "Upload my fieldnotes". Then call up the
"Falk" tab and follow the instructions. Then connect the device to the PC and click on the
