Are there any issues with opening apps on their own, i.e. a pref. for TT to have the port opened by one of the others ? Mio P550 GPS settings: GPS Program port: COM4 GPS Hardware port : COM2 baud rate : 4800 Manage GPS automatically (recommended) I have this box checked. Yes. If I open TomTom 6 first it reports 'No GPS device!' Then I opened Cachemate and that reports 'Error opening serial port!' If I then open Memory-Map OS Edition, both Cachemate and TomTom can see the port. As melmur has said TomTom seems to have a bug and can not open the port. Moote also pointed out in another thread that applications that are not written for Windows Mobile 5 have problems opening shared ports. I suspect that this is the case with Cachemate.

Can't keep up with the cache placers around here. Not that I'm complaining, I have 72 caches within a 5 mile radius and the numbers seem to be growing every week end. A big Thank You goes out to all the cache placers.

UPDATE: After a full reset to factory defaults and fresh installs of Cachemate, MemoryMap and Tomtom. I now have all three apps running sharing COM4. I've yet to run a field test but that will have to wait until tomorrow.

If you've got this working I would like to know what versions of software your using. Try as I may, I can not get my P550 to work with that set up.

The default setting for the top righthand button near the joystick, (looks like a magnifying glass with a i in it) opens the Today screen.

There was one setup last year too UK Cache Events

Don't know what issues your having but I have mine set up with Memory Map, TomTom and Cachemate all sharing the GPSr with GPSGate. I was very surprised when I had Memory Map on and TomTom was giving me directions in the background.

These are the ones I have in Outlook South Wales 2007 5th May Carry on Camping 8th-10th June

Just a heads up that Blueyonder/Telewest/NTL or what ever they are called nowadays, are running a Trail bandwidth throttle in the NW. This only affects peak time (16:00 to 24:00) but once you hit the limit, your bandwidth will be reduced by 50%.

It would be a real shame if the tunnel were to close, such a loss to the whole community not just to cachers Ihope they manage to get the funding to save it Lolly! PS I couldn't help but take a look at the guy on the mini moto Decided against posting a link in here Somebody should warn him about 'gravel rash'

Joking apart I do hate it on a micro log where a tamp or sticker has been used and takes up the space of half a dozen logs. Okay, rant over.... Another option is to use the Vista Print free offer where you pay for delivery. If you just need one stamp with only a few lines the cost comes to £3.08 for 21 day delivery. I've read that these are not very good, but if anyone's thinking of ordering one, then PM me for details on how to get £2 cashback on each order. (new customers only).

Use one of these. They don't spoil the log book when it gets damp.

Thanks for the link, I've just ordered one. cheers.

Which type of Aquapac did you get for the P550. I don't want to end up getting one too small.

My laminated tag will be in English on one side and Spanish (destination language) on the other.

The link to download Cachemate 1.2.0 can be found on this page.

<br> does not require closure. Correct HTML 3.2 Specification. BR Used to force a line break. This is an empty element, so the end tag is forbidden.

I hate all the rushing around and the pushing and the shoving. As well as the car parking spaces being full. Well that's whats its like trying to get a FTF around here. Give me Christmas shopping any time

I have MM5 and load whole maps to my PDA memory card. Depending on the size of the map it usualy takes about 10 to 20 minutes.

Worth bookmarking for future referance. Garmin unit comparison

If its too big then try sending Visable Map portion to PDA

Just checked my profile and I had never entered my full address. I've updated it now but I bet I'm not one of the lucky ones

Depending on which way you "butter your toast", it could be seen as a bonus find

And there's me thinking its not a numbers game

No need for bluetooth as the built in GPS uses a com port on the mio p550 On your P550 go into Start/Settings/System. then tap the gps icon. In the Programs Tab: gps program port is set to COM1 In the Hardware Tab gps hardware port is set to com2 . baud rate 4800. Next in Memory Map. tap menu/gps/setup use these settings. Manufacture : NMEA Port COM2: GPS_COM Baud 4800. You may have to reboot to get the settings to work. .
