Garmin Quest-- How do you find a waypoint?

I just purchased a Garmin Quest and am trying to use it to find a
waypoint. For the life of me, I find no screen to allow me to do this.
I can find addresses, shops, exits, current location..but how do I find
a waypoint so I can geocache???



Can anyone help?

        I don't have the same unit you have, but I have few Garmin Street Pilot =
I
& II and III is the last one. So I can only be able to give you the =
general
information base on those 3 units I have.

        You will need to read the manual to find out what yours can and can't =
not
do, and go from there.

1. Enter the STREET ADDRESS where you want to go.

        - If yours software and hardware have Auto-Routing option/feature then =
it
         will prompt you turn-by-turn how to get to the destination. The route
         will be hi-lited

        - If the hardware doesn't have Auto-Routing, then you will see a =
STRAIGHT
         LINE from where you are at (location of your car) to the destination.=20
         You just need to learn to read the ARROW and follow the LINE.

2. Waypoint, with auto-routing you may not need or you can just MOVE the
         cursor (pointer) to any point on the map to create/save as waypoint =
then
         ROUTE to it.

        - Auto-routing software, you just select the "ROUTE TOOL" from Mapsource
         Menu then select the START (waypoint) and STOP (waypoint) and any in
         between, and Mapsource will hi-lite, creates the waypoint. You can =
LOAD
         to you unit .

        - Non-Auto-Routing software, then you will have to select the "ROUTE =
TOOL"
         and manually select the location's to add as waypoints, then select =
them
         in the order you want. Then load to your unit and you have waypoint.

3. And from Garmin, you go to menu where it keeps the Route/Waypoint =
info.
        (FIND option I think) and select the waypoint you want and it should =
work.

        Anyway, I only tried this few years ago, only used it few times on older
Garmin with no auto-routing, so I don't remember much to explain in small
detail.

I have a Quest and was waiting to hear the answer. My experience is that
there aren't any waypoints as on the eMap. Yesterday I was reviewing a
bikeway in New Jersey http://www.billcotton.com/MY_rides.htm#Current%20ride .
that Starts in Pleasantville NJ and goes 6 miles to Somers Point NJ. The
Pleasantville end is not completed and I wanted to mark the street I used to
get on the path. I held the OK key and the location comes up. I change the
name to Path.
Now I push the FIND key Once, select MY LOCATION and a list comes up. The
location that I named is on this list. I can route to it.
I love my Quest for bicycling http://www.billcotton.com/quest_on_bicycle.htm
It puts me on the roads with bicycle club's marking in most areas that I
setup routes in. I have 43 save routes loaded now, many over 50 miles long.
With my eMap and its 50 waypoint route limit and 500 waypoint total limit, I
seldom got 50 miles long route and the total waypoint would fill long before
I got 50 routes.
To delete a route on the eMap I had to also delete waypoints. On the Quest,
I delete a route and it is gone.
Hope this helps.

        I don't have Quest to know all detail, but from the limited experience I
have with 3 different Garmin, these are what I know.

1. You can create or mark Single_Waypoint with Garmin. Example single
        waypoint

        - L.A Cali

        - Houston TX

        - Penn Florida=09

2. If you want to create Waypoints (with multiple locations) then you =
will
        need to use the "Route Tool" from Mapsource to create, then load to the
        Garmin. Waypoints (route plan or multiple locations)


        ...then Garmin will follow the waypoints in the order you setup and load
to Garmin. And that was what I did on my old Garmins
