palm tungsten E, with cachemate. bought off ebay couple weeks ago, love it

being an avid golfer myself, i'm doing a TB good luck charm where you go out and play a round of golf with it and then log what you shot and what course.....

kinda funny that when i opened this up to read, at the top was an ad for what ???? 250 free business cards

was just looking for the same unit at wally world.com $ 228.88. thinking bout upgrading to something with hcx with the tree cover coming in soon ( well soon i hope ) right now got 15 inches of the white stuff on the lawn. but going out caching tomorrow, gotta get out of the house

while vacationing down in tennessee i picked up a TB and wanted to be sure it got logged so i found a public library in town and logged it. also picked out a few more caches in the area to do

i don't have the SD card. i just bought this off of ebay to go paperless and didn't know if i needed the card features. thanks for the info on "overview" that is the whole enchilada. this is the first time i've used a pda so guess i'll just have to play around with it and with help from people on the forums i'll be good to go. any idea on how long the battery in these things last ? it is an older model and was just wondering if it would be in my best interest to invest in a new battery. seen them on the web for 15-25 bucks.

well duh ! ( smacks forehead ) guess since thats what i'm doing is adding to GSAK then exporting to the palm, they would be up to date.... i better recheck, might have a few blonde straglers in all that grey.. thanks...........

i think when it downloaded on to the palm it said something about the files were 'merged".... my question is if i do a pq say tomorrow will it basically just update the logs ? if new logs have been added since my last pq

another funny thing is telling people about it. my wife was explaining this to a her fellow co-worker and she misunderstood and thought we were saying "geo-bashing" guess she thought we were going out and destroying geo metro cars !!! so everytime we talk to her it's " hey we went out bashing today" lololol

thanks for all the help guys/gals. another related question then: when i do pq's, do i need to delete the files on the palm or when i hot sync after doing the pq's will it just update the info, you know the last 5 logs or whatever i have set up?

better check the package good, i bought the same adapter for my etrex legend and had the same problem. got to looking for a solution and finnaly discovered the install cd in the package behind the cardboard piece, once i found that and installed it havn't had a problem. i did get a laugh out of it because i was sure pissed when i couldn't get it to work.

i read an article about it a long while ago, as in how long does it take for a newspaper to turn yellow ? lol found the article last nov. 07 and looked into it. finnaly bought a gps in jan. 08. been obsessed with it since. would do it everyday but that dirty 4 letter word gets in the way........WORK.......bummer

thanks cliff hanger, i may have figure it out in a roundabout way but i think it will do for now thanks again

ok, this is all new to me and i'm not that computer savvy so please be patient. i wanted to go paperless so heres what i have: Etrex Legend and Palm Tungsten E Dell Dimesion C521 Windows XP Media Edition have GSAK on computer, Cachemate on palm i did a PQ, have that in GSAK, sent that to Cachemate so far so good i thought in Cachmate, none of the hints and logs are there There was a pop up screen that came up something about WinXP and these types of files and also read in the forums about people having problems with "XP Media Edition" Questions: 1) Is WinXP my problem ? 2) How can i get the logs/hints to show in Cachmate ? 3) Is it a filter i just didn't set up or get checked ? 4) Would it make difference to send the file to the SD card and if so would Cachemate be able to read it that way ? thanks in advance, i know someone will have the answers

guess i'm a lurker. being new to all this i read the forums to gain knowledge on all the problems i'm having or will soon have in the near future.
