Geocache Description:


Have you ever used the Garmin auto-navigation freature to take you to a geocache only to wind up at the wrong location. It could be a minor problem like in a housing development that is next to a nice park and the Garmin doesnt know about a road into the park. It could be much worse like routing you on a limited access highway and having you stop there--closest road to the cache but there just happens to be 100 feet of deep water between you and the cache! .

For fun try auto-navigating to this one and see what the GPS says. Look at the difference between auto-routing and the off-road route option.

DON'T actually follow auto-routing, it will not work. , there is a better way. You will have to figure out how to get this one. Satellite picture maps should do the trick. Or since the FTF rush is over you can use the parking coordinates.

It will be a 0.15 mile walk from legal parking and the last 250 feet are the cause of the elevated terrain rating, chose wisely and it can be mostly sticker free.

Not a requirement, but you are requested to tell about another auto-navigation problem you had.
