Following Geocaching functions are missing (apparently no functional changes since Oregon 7x0/ GPSMAP 64):

1. Number of Geocaches is just limited by the memory, but the belonging waypoints to a geocache are limited (10'000). This limits the possibility to load a lot of geocaches (in my case ex. > 30'000) with the belonging waypoints.
2. Possibility to send geocaching logs not directly as logs, but as field notes to edit them later at home.
3. Use the entered comment/text when directly sending logs.
4. Easy access to the waypoints belonging to a geocaches (can be identified by their names which are similar as the GC-Code)
5. Possibility to edit log text later

1. That's gonna be a tough one. Other than increasing the number of indexed waypoints (there will always be a limit), do you have any other solutions?

My solution currently is to save all addidtional geocaches waypoints as POI (instead of waypoints). Here the limit only seems to be the memory and I have all GC-waypoints on my device.

But this needs additional action an for me is not "state of the art" .
I would prefere that they could be loaded as designed with the geocaches GPX or GGZ
