WG1.) What is Wherigo?


You can find out more details about this new game here.

WG2.) How do I load/play a Wherigo cartridge on the Colorado?


From the Wherigo site select "Garmin Colorado" when downloading your cartridge. Copy the .gwc file you receive into [drive]:\Wherigo , disconnect, power on and select Shortcuts->Others->Wherigo and select the cartridge you just downloaded to get started.

WG3.) How do I know which version of the Wherigo Player I'm using?


Select Shortcuts->Wherigo->About will provide the Garmin Player and Wherigo Engine version.

WG4.) How do I use the Colorado to navigate to the starting point of a cartridge?


All the Colorado gives you in this respect is a distance and bearing. You'll see this on the main Wherigo page that lists the cartridges. You can't use the normal navigation features of the Colorado to autoroute you to the beginning or look at the maps for example

WG5.) How do I navigate to a Location within the cartridge using the Colorado?


Again, you only get a distance and bearing (cardinal letter or degrees) to the location. You can't use the compass, maps or any of the other features of the Colorado to help.

WG6.) I need to upload my save file (.gws) in order to complete my cartridge. How do I do that?


The save files are stored in [drive]:\Wherigo\Saves and have the format [cartridge_name].gws.

WG7.) I need to debug a cartridge, someone asked me to send my log file for a cartridge. Where is that?


Log files are saved in [drive]:\Wherigo\Saves and have the format [cartridge_name].gwl.
