Click the large rectangle overlaid on your map.

I didn't find the resize or drag polygon tool useful because it maintains aspect ratio.

When you have the area in mind on-screen follow the prompt '.click here to create the bounding box'.In my experience with the type of mapping output by this site you'll probably be able to fit an area of maybeДў0km square onto your Etrex, maybe more or less depending on how dense your area is.Zoom right out to globe level, then start zooming in on the area you're interested in.Massive props to BBBike for building this, and OpenStreetMap for Unless you're planning on moving around an wider area or going somewhere on an extended holiday with limited access to a computer / internet this is probably good enough for your needs.

(feel free to prove me wrong on this), b) is a bit expensive for what it is, and c) the Etrex 10 is officially a non-mapping GPS Garmin sells mapping for a variety of purposes, but I'm pretty sure that a) it's comparitively shitty compared to the free options

Geocaches will be sorted by proximity to you.

Follow the prompts / allow your browser to open Garmin Express.

Open one of your lists, or click on a cache on the map view.

GPSMapEdit - Shareware tool for editing GPS maps.

- Supports exporting a list of caches direct to your device.

Garmin Express - Basic device updating / data management.

I find that I need to update my maps maybe once per year or so, and this gist is available mainly so that I don't have to reinvent the wheel every time I want to play with my GPS.

Aside from the very basic features you'd expect in an entry level hiking GPS, it has built-in support for Geocaching, it's relatively cheap (as of 2020 it's less than 1/2 the price of the Etrex 20), it's small + light, it's probably a bit better than your phone GPS outside of urban areas, and you can load custom maps with a bit of effort. WhyДЇor all it's limitations, the Garmin Etrex 10 is really suitable for new cachers / recreational GPS users looking to get theirДЇirst device. (detailed maps will only cover smallish areas however). While the unit has limited storage available, and doesn't officially support custom or even detailed mapping, it is possible to load your own maps The Garmin Etrex 10 is an entry level hand-held GPS receiver with limited features, however with a bit of extra work it canД«e pretty bloody good for Geocaching (the notes here are possibly useful for other purposes too).
