Working with Geocaches
The Magellan eXplorist GC receiver is designed to connect with millions of passionate adventure seekers
at www.geocaching.com. Geocaching.com is the premier website for organizing the world’s geocaches.
Whether you want to learn about geocaching, hide or seek a cache, log your experiences, or find out
about a local geocaching event, Geocaching.com is your one-stop shop for all things geocaching! No
need to worry about clumsy data conversion as the eXplorist GC receiver connects seamlessly with the
website for popular features such as Send to GPS, Upload Field Notes, and transfer Pocket Queries.
Your purchase of an eXplorist GC receiver comes with a 30 day free trial for a Geocaching.com premium
membership*. A premium membership will enable the download of more than 20 unique attributes for
each geocache, access to “members only” cache listings, Pocket Query generation, and a number of
other advanced features. A basic membership is all you need to go geocaching, but the features of the
eXplorist GC receiver are further enhanced with premium access.
