You may use both MapSource and BaseCamp on the same PC. BaseCamp will automatically detect the maps previously loaded on MapSource. Perhaps a map60 owner can answer your question about whether it works with BaseCamp...

You can get actual usage on a per-app basis by going to Settings -> Data usage on your phone. Use the white sliders to set the date range: It is possible to set a mobile data limit, and also set a warning threshold (use orange slider). This feature is available on Android 4.x (Jelly Bean and Ice Cream Sandwich). Not sure about earlier releases...

That is correct - you cannot save/download .zip files with the Gmail app. You can however download .zip files using Gmail in the Chrome browser. Tested with my Nexus 7 and Android 4.1.2

UPDATE on CacheSense: There is now a desktop app for offline cache management: http://www.zitafarm.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=2447&sid=629c66ee1f93c734827c59f8c0d70eff CacheSense Desktop is a free Windows companion app that allows you to import multiple GPX/ZIP files into new or existing CacheSense databases, compared to importing on the device it is very fast (will import 1000s of caches in seconds).

There are two geocaching apps that I've been using on my Nexus S phone and Nexus 7 tablet for a few months now. Both support pocket queries and offline OSM maps. c:geo is a free Open Source app; CacheSense is a paid app with a fully functional 30-day Demo. First install the pre-built offline OSM map for Utah (or other state. Then before you leave, pre-load a pocket query(or two or three) for caches around where you're going. a:Drake is another app I used briefly, but found difficult to use with little English documentation. If you're looking for offline cache management for large numbers of caches, it may be for you. It works together with GeoGet (a free Open Source alternative to GSAK) to manage caches on your PC.

Sorry to hear that you've having problems with the unit. Here's a explaining the 25xx factory reset procedure. You might want to give it one more try...

A couple of years ago I used to use paperless geocaching with my Nuvi 760. It worked well. The caches would show on the map, and I had it set up so that an audible alert would sound 200 meters from the cache. Basically you load a Pocket Query into GSAK, then run a macro which produces input for Garmin's POI Loader program and then creates Custom Points of Interest for all the caches in the PQ. Detailed instructions for paperless geocaching with Nuvi can be found in the collection of existing FAQs here in this forum.

Your 2595 can be used with GSAK. First though, you'll have to change it from its default MTP mode to Mass Storage mode. See this post for instructions on how to make the change. With the default MTP mode, programs that require the Nuvi to appear as a disk drive letter (e.g. G:) cannot "see" the unit because it does not appear as a disk drive (i.e. Mass Storage mode).

I also use the CacheSense app on my Android devices. GPS accuracy is very good both on my Nexus S phone and Nexus 7 tablet. The app is one of the best I've used. Can't speak to the GPS accuracy of your BlackBerry. You could try posting the question in the CacheSense BlackBerry forums - http://www.zitafarm.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=27 EDIT: The download restrictions are from geocaching.com, not the CacheSense app. If you decide you like geocaching, you could purchase a premium geocaching.com membership and the restrictions will be removed. Also, DNFs are part of the geocaching learning curve. As you geocache more, your DNFs should decrease

Do you have the unit set to offroad mode? If not, it will not reach the desired destination coordinates. Try this: Select Settings -> Navigation Select Route Preference -> Off Road -> OK Admittedly, it is not an ideal unit for caching, but it should get you close to your target...

I've been caching with a 265, 760 and 1490 as well as a 60csx in the past. Started out with the older nuvis (265,760) which seemed more accurate and easier to use than the newer 1490, although battery life for all nuvis is an issue. Later on my caching buddy got a 60csx, which was great for all day cache-a-thons and fared much better in woods and hilly terrain. Paperless geocaching with the nuvis was helpful, as we'd often bring a nuvi along as well to lookup cache details. While you're deciding if geocaching is for you, try caching with the nuvi. It can be as basic as printing out the caches and manually entering the coordinates into the nuvi, to paperless geocaching and TourGuides. You decide!

Today I was playing with the demo version of the CacheSense app that Robert Lipe suggested earlier. It has many power user features and will certainly join c:geo as a part of my geocaching toolset. CacheSense can also generate offline maps directly from an OSM live map view. Neither app supports offline Google maps, but they both support offline maps from Open Street Map. Pre-built ones may be downloaded from the Mapsforge website. They're available for many countries, US states and Canadian provinces. See the Offline maps for c:geo entry in the FAQ for configuration info. c:geo will search the Nexus 7 filesystem and discover the map in your Downloads folder. If you create a mfmaps folder and move the downloaded Mapsforge map there, c:geo will automatically find it.

The five previous logs is a PQ limitation. If you want all the logs, press the refresh button while displaying the cache in c:geo. It's also possible to refresh all caches - from the Stored caches display press Menu -> Manage -> Refresh all (this will be slow). I'd suggest doing this only if you have saved a small number of caches. Offline maps are supported in c:geo with Open Street Map. The c:geo FAQ explains how to do this.

I used my Nexus 7 for the first time with the c:geo app to find a few caches last week. It worked quite nicely. Saved the caches from the live map before leaving the hotel. Logged the caches in the field and they were posted once I had wifi connectivity again. I've been using c:geo on my Nexus S for a long time.
