Colorado 400T navigating to a waypoint as a geocache.

I am using my Colorado 400T for geocaching. Normally I preload all the
caches I want to try before going out but in some locations and cases
I want to get to a cache that isn't in the GPSr. If I know the
coordinates of the cache how can I enter them as a waypoint and get
GPSr to treat it as a geocache. When I enter a waypoint I don't get
the option of treating it as a cache location. It is treated just as
part of a route. If I tell it to 'Go' it will tell me there is no road
instead of counting down to the cache location.

Any ideas?

thanks

I have a GPSMAP 76csx, but perhaps there are similarities.
1. create any waypoint.
2. edit it by entering your geocache coordinates
3. change the icon to the geocache treasure chest (or similar)

Thanks Richard,
The first two steps I have been doing all along but I don't know how
to change the icon to a geocache.
Someone suggested changing the profile to geocache but that is already
my default. I have no idea why it is telling me 'No road near
destination....' Somehow it thinks I am planning a route. Hmmmmmmm

In mine, I highlight the icon in the waypoint screen and press enter

I still use my old GPS 12 for Geocaching -
no map, nothing fancy, just point the arrow and go until I hit zero feet
away -

sounds like the 400 thinks it's doing a automobile mode ?
is there something on the 400 to switch from "driving" to "hiking, ped" mode
?
