Cool, for as much as I use all this stuff everyday, I sure don't know
how to do all the fancy tricks. Thanks,

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.
