Ostia 6 did show you what your co-ordinates are. But mapping software or plain co-ordinates won't help you find a cache. For Geocaching this is what I use. I'm sure there's other programs like it.

I dock my axim to my computer, and turn on remote display. Then I go to
http://www.geocaching.com and add all the waypoints I'm gonna look for.
Then off I go. You really can't judge where you are going just by looking at the co-ordinates. And what good is a street map when you're on a park trail. You want a compass, and a directional pointer. These hiking programs have those. You just have to get used to the fact they update while your walking/moving.
It shouldn't matter what GPS unit you have either. But I've found the Pharos one is off a little bit on cloudy days.
I am in the market for a GPS that my family and I can use for geocaching. I'd like to use my X30 for this purpose (why not?). However, all I've seen is people use it for roadmaps and directions. Can it be used like an ordinary GPS, showing latitute and longitude, etc.? Is that simply a a question of software? Thanks.
