"Browse" button. Select the drive for the device and the "Navigator" folder and then the
"GeocacheLogFile" folder. There you will find the file "geocache-visit.txt". You can then select

9.3 Pocket query
Geocaching.com offers the possibility of creating pocket queries. A pocket query is a
compiled file which consists of several filtered geocaches. On Geocaching.com you can
compile these pocket queries yourself via filters, download them and transfer them to the
device via the Falk Navi-Manager.
Note: Your Falk LUX supports a pocket query with no more than 1,000 geocaches, but this
must have a file size of no bigger than 5 MB. Choose a smaller number if necessary. Please
note that the larger the file, the longer the conversion process when you start up the device.
Please only ever transfer one pocket query to the device and then start the device in order to
carry out the conversion. Following successful conversion, another pocket query can be
transferred to the system.
9.4 Found geocaches
Geocaches which you have already marked as found are stored under Found geocaches.
Here you can find, view and edit all caches which have already been found.
9.5 Terminology and symbols
Geocaching – Is a kind of electronic treasure hunt or scavenger hunt in which you can find
small pieces of treasure using published coordinates and waypoints.
Geocache – Is a small, usually waterproof container in which you will find objects to swap or
a logbook. It is the ultimate target of the treasure hunt.
Log – By logging you can document the success or failure of your treasure hunt online. This
allows other people and primarily the geocache owner to follow and track what is happening
around the cache.
Trackable – The best-known trackables include the Travel Bugs. These are transported from
one cache to the next and their journey is documented on a special website. In addition, they
have a unique numerical combination for identification.
Geocoins – Geocoins perform the same role as Travel Bugs. They are tracked online and
can travel around the world. Geocoins are often individually designed by geocachers and are
also used as collectors' items.
