Is there a screen shot where I can view my actual coordinates?
Can this GPS be used for geocaching also??
Can I type a set of coordinates and will this GPS lead me to those
coordinates??
It's not a GPS, it's a road navigation system for cars.
There's a difference. While it uses GPS-delivered coordinates to do
what it does, that doesn't mean it uses the same coordinates for
anything ele.
No, it's not suitable for geocaching.
Just because it uses signals from the GPS, doesn't mean it does
everything such a receiver could possibly do.

If that is what you want, you bought the wrong unit. The Nuvi is a road
navigation assistant. It will tell you to turn from Main Street onto Park
Street, but not much else. You can (at least on the 350) go to a screen
that does give present location. IIRC it is under the setup screen.

2 ways on my Nuvi. From the main menu, press the bars in the upper left and
that will display the satellite screen which has the coordinates. Also,
from the main menu, Where to -> Coordinates.

Basically yes but it wasn't designed for that. I've used mine on a couple a
geocaching trips. What the Nuvi really lacks is a compass and direction
arrow to point the way to the cache.
The Nuvi screen can also wash out in bright direct sunlight which limits
it's usefulness outdoors.
Also make sure you configure the Nuvi to Pedestrian and Off-road to turn off
lock-to-road. I also find it useful to change the screen from 3D to 2D.

Yes, Where to -> Coordinates. But since the Nuvi doesn't have a arrow,
finding the right way to walk can be trial and error.
The Nuvi is not the best choice for geocaching.
