![]() Since the Drive series are now connectable to a smartphone, you get the advantage of live searching data with the dedicated functionality of the GPS. ![]() Thus the Garmin Nuvi or Drive series has the advantage in this respect. Phones these days do a great job of providing vehicle navigation services, but I do think they miss the mark in one respect: they tend to overheat from direct sunlight through the windshield. Personally, I find it easier to just install a routable map on the handheld device and use that for vehicle navigation to geocaches, creating a separate profile for geocaching by car and geocaching by foot that switches between topo maps and routable street maps.īut having a GPS in the car has been wonderful overall, and using your handheld for caching by car complements the general automotive navigation of the big map on your dashboard or windshield. For your 64s, it's best to just install the pocket query files directly by unzipping the the files and putting the GPX files in the GPX folder on your device (or better yet on an SD card installed in your device). Basecamp re-writes some of the tags in the GPX file that alters formatting and some of the information displayed in the description.
