Connect to chirp enabled caches. Record and publish your logs while in the field. The Oregon 7x0 provides unparalleled geocaching capability.

New Geocaching features are available with the version 5.20 firmware update:

• New: Geocache child waypoints are now automatically downloaded via GCLive!
• New: Enable Proximity Alarms so you never have to miss another unfound geocache again!

GPX vs GGZ

Use one or the other, or use them both. The Oregon 7x0 provides full geocaching functionality regardless of format. Using GGZ files substantially improves the Oregon 7x0 searching and indexing speeds. GGZ files consist of a compressed geocache GPX archive that includes an XML index containing only the information essential to searching and indexing functions. When a specific geocache is selected, additional information is then retrieved from the corresponding GPX file as required. Removing unnecessary information from the sorting process translates into a more efficient and enjoyable geocaching experience.
