The Compass page becomes tailored to geocaching while the user is navigating toward a geocache. During navigation toward a geocache, a note or hint about the cache is readily accessible (if the cache waypoint contains such information in its comment field).

When a geocache is found, the unit will mark the cache found, log an entry into the outdoor calendar, and provide an option that with one button press will show the next-closest cache.
