Shame on Tom Tom. A good reason to use one of the many older palms. m515s seem to be going for a good price for example.

Strange - I have been running TomTom mapping software on my Palm for two years now.

Ditto! Looking forward to downloading this later. Thanks.

CM allows you to read the old logs, hints etc if you choose to tewll it to load them on your Palm. Basically, you get a pocket query in GPX format as per your specification, you launch the PC application, you choose which caches you want on your Palm (I have had over 500 at one time for about 1.5Mb but that was just playing around. When synced, Cachemate merges the caches you selected with any in its database, preseving your logs, updating old logs etc. All CM fields are text that you can alter if you wish, so you can add, delete or change info o nyour Palm as you wish. Caches can be imported or exported as Palm Memos to a simple template. It will sort caches by distance from a cache, or from a position given by a GPS if you have acabe to link your palm to a GPSr In all, very quick, very clever and very well done. Well wort hthe pitance it costs. BTW I use a PalmIIIxe upgraded to Palm OS 4.1 and due to a Serial port crisis on the home PC I use a non-branded USB ot Serial converter that looks like a brick to upload data to my GPSr. It seems to work faultlessly.

A good point. I guess I could stick loads of waypoints on the GPS, but the six character waypoint names are not exactly user friendly and I don't like having long lists of them as they don't mean much to me. I prefer to have smaller numbers on the GPS and change them to something more meaningful to me. It would be nice to do this on the PDA instead of using the GPSr's limited text input system. The Palm using Cachemate can hold well over a 1000 caches in about 1Mb of memory including long descriptions, clues, past logs, etc. I would just like to be able to quickly transfer the waypoint info direct to the PDA when on the move. I know EasyGPS does all this but not without a PC which is the point. My original comment was intended to indicate how pleased I was with CacheMate that I only desired this one small (and planned) enhancement. Anyway - each his own.

EasyGPS just doesn't do it for me when I am out caching. The data is in my PDA thanks to Cachemate - transfering a bit of that to my GPS automatically (without treking home to a PC) would be a great beneft. If I am at my PC I don't need Cachemate - it is by definition a mobile application.

What has EasyGPS got to do with PDA to GPS Data transfer?

I also quickly registered it. The only thing is misses for me is the ability to upload waypoints to my Magellan - I understand this is planned, but I can't wait!
