Cache Options

Show Hints

Will bring up a small dialog showing you the hints provided by the cache owner. If there aren’t any hints available, a message box will let you know so.

Field Notes

The Field Notes dialog allows you to remember what you have done at a cache site. This is the place where you can record the trades that you’ve made, you impressions about the site, etc.

 

More specifically, you can record which Travel Bugs you have taken from the cache and which ones you left in the cache.

 

Finally, if you found the cache at a location which seems to be off from the coordinates posted on the cache page, you can record the actual coordinates where you found the cache using the Actual Coordinates dialog.

Set As Center

When you click the ‘Set As Center’ option, GPXSonar will set the coordinates of the cache highlighted in the list as you current location and will recalculate the distance of all the other caches relative to your newly defined position. This is useful when you are on a caching trip and you decide to ‘hop’ from cache to cache based on their proximity.

Ignore Cache

If you would like to hide a cache from the listing, you can use this option to do so. Later on, you can un-hide the cache if you wish by controlling the ‘Cache Attributes’ accessible from the Filters dialog.

View Online

If you PDA can connect to the Internet, this option will show you the original cache page on http://www.geocaching.com/.
