Mongo, have you visited GPSrChive.com yet?

At the very top of this forum page you should see a banner like this:

That link will open the GPSrChive home page.

From there, you can learn about how to replace the 'Found Geocache' symbol by selecting:

{your device} > Über User > Custom Symbols

or

How To... > Waypoints > Custom Waypoint Symbols

or

How To... > Geocaching > Custom Geocache Symbols


You will also find links to pre-made geocache symbols if you do not want to make your own!

This is great, thanks GPSrChive!
I found the forum by searching for topics related to my problem, so missed the landing page for your site...
Much appreciated, I'll give the icon change a go later this week :P

Common issue... Many find the forum, most never see the website with all the information. Please feel free to share it with other Garmin users!

Since the latest update proximity alerts have working perfectly for me on the 66st and 66sr. I get the alerts as expected anytime I approach a geocache within my set distance. I have all filter settings I have located on my units set to "all" and I get the alerts for all geocaches, unfound, found, hidden, so I am very happy Garmin is allowing for this. Yesterday this feature alerted me to two caches on a hike where I had not researched caches ahead of time. It was an out and back hike so after being alerted and finding both caches on the way out, my 66 alerted me again for them on the way back. This is exactly the behavior I hoped for as I want to always be alerted to all caches regardless of found or ownership status. I then can choose to ignore any that I want to.
