I have bought 2 Ipaq 3835 for less then $150 on Ebay. They both work excellent, and the one I use has ALL my GPS stuff on it. I use it to track myself via streets & Trips, and have a number of other programs for Geocaching. The Ipaq is also one of the most expandable PDA's, it has literally hundreds of different accessories, main ones being sleeves for different cards, cables to interface with other devices, etc, etc ad nauseum. You can add memory, wireless, GPS's, even a PCMCIA hard drive, there's even a digital camera attachment that turns into a pretty decent digital camera.

I have just the little yellow Etrex, and it works excellent. I have seen them brand new for $89, and on Ebay for less then $50. If you are new to geocaching, then this unit would be a good way to spend a little money to see if you're really into it. I hook it up to both my home computer, to load waypoints, and hook it to my PDA for on the go mapping etc. Great little unit, at a GREAT price.

I bought mine here It also included the adapter for my IPAQ, so it was a little bit more, Look around his store, he's got all the stuff you need to interface your Garmin with anything else, and it is excellent quality, and he shipped fast!!

G7toCE can upload waypoints from PDA to GPS through a serial connection. I run Pocket PC 2003, therefore that CE program does not work on my PDA, but thank you.... Pocket PC 2003 is just an implementation of Windows CE. On the G7toCE page, you'll find a version of G7toCE specifically compiled for Pocket PC 2003. See at http://www.gpsinformation.org/ronh/ You're welcome THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!

Cool, now make it so that it will download the Coordinates from a PDA to my GPS unit, and I will be a happy camper. There are NO programs out there that will do that, but, in the meantime, I will play guinea pig and let you know how it works. Check my E-mail to you for the errors that I got when I tried to run the beta....

We have the Yellow Etrex as well, and it is GREAT little unit, I grabbed a cable off of E-bay for $11, and it even had my PDA connector on it. GSAK downloads the Coordinates, so much easier then doing it manually, now if there were only a PDA program that would download the waypoints into it, I would be a happy camper.

I'd love to come and get involved, I live in Gig Harbor, BUT, I will be spending that time getting ready for Ham radio Field day at Fort Flagler that next weekend, and since I am a band chair, I have LOTS of preparations to make. But have fun!!

Is there NO program out there where I can take a >loc or a GPX file and take the coordinates and upload them to my GPS from a Pocket PC? I used GSAK on my PC and uploaded the waypoints to my Etrex GPS unit, is there NO program for the Pocket PC capable of doing this? I have a cable that will power both, as well as transfer info to and from both, and it also is capable of doing PC downloads as well, so I am set with cable interfaces etc, but I NEED a software package capable of taking the GPX and LOC files, and DL'ing the coordinates to my GPS from the PDA. Come on, there has to be something out there.... I don't want to load up my GPS with a 500 waypoints, I want to upload them as we go to them... Please, somebody, anybody!!!

I have a Basic Garmin E-trex, and I want to be able to download the GPX files into my PDA and then download the coordinates into my GPS. I don't need a map, I don't need any of that fancy stuff. I just need a program that will take the GPX files from Geocaching.com. grab the coordinates and download them to my Garmin E-trex waypoints file, so that when I see one that I want to go find, at the spur of the moment, I can download it via the cable from my PDA to the Etrex GPS. Thanks!!!
