8. A ‘Save Route’ Window opens.  Add any comments, media you want and lastly give 

the route a name that you can identify later when you want to active the route.

9. Move the cursor again to the Route window and click ‘Close’.
10. Double click on the displayed route to bring up information (Distance, stops, etc.) for 

the route.

A GPS receiver and a hunger for adventure are all you need for a high-tech treasure hunt. 
Use your VantagePoint application software to create a "cache" or treasure hunt. Then 
store the geocache information in your MyGPS folder of your PC. To create a geocache 
with VantagePoint, use the following instructions:

1. Use the Map Manipulator to zoom in and display the place on the map you want to 

add a waypoint.

2. In the Toolbar, expand the Map Tools.
3. Select the Push Pin Icon and select 

‘Geocache’ from the drop-down menu.

4. Move the square ‘Place Geocache’ cursor 

to the position on the map that you want to 
place it.

5.  Click once and the ‘New 

Geocache’ window is 
displayed.

6. This process was just like 

creating a waypoint until now.  
Notice how much more 
information can be stored in 
the ‘New Geocache’ window.  

Geocaches can then be transferred 
to your GPS receiver.  Once 
installed in your receiver, they can 
also be uploaded to the web at 
www.geocaching.com as a .gpx file.
