Sure, select a cache to be your centerpoint (you must be on the "Info" screen
of the cache file). Then go to the Record menu and choose Nearest Caches. Hit
OK, and then you will get several filters to choose from, including direction
and max distance.
Cachemate has some other cool features that I use, including stamping the date
and time a cache is found so that I can get a list of caches in the order we
found them, and projecting waypoints. If you need any help with those, I'd be
happy to show you.
