Strider,
The best way to get the hints with the 60 CSX is a custom POI
File: Export gpx/loc (or ctrl-g)
For waypoint name use: %smart=13 %typ1 %con1 %last4 %Dif/%Ter %by
Maximum characters 44
Cache description: %hint %name %code
Then save it in the custom POI directory
You can create a macro to do this and have a button on your tool bar for the
macro
Then load it with POI loader.
If you need the hint, select find Custom POI and it will show up as the
nearest custom POI. Select it and you will be able to see the hint (well
sometimes it is too long, but almost always the entire hint will show).
After you see the hint, don't select goto. Just push quite and the GPS will
still be pointing you to the cache waypoint.
You still load the waypoints and that is what you use to find the cache and
mark it as found, The custom POI will hold much more data than a waypoint
so you can usually get the hint in the custom POI. So you have a waypoint
and custom POI for each cache.

Hi Bernie,
I'm glad you found some new land to cache in, but I don't think you ever
discussed a hint sheet with me. I did see what you discussed in the forums
last Jan. though, I'd like to figure some of that out. Steve just set us up
with a great GSAK macro to run filters for Streets & Trips, I;ll show you
how it works later. Good luck with your hints page, I could sure use one
too.
Jim
