ok i converted a .loc file to a gpx file, put it into the gpx folder in the garmin card and then went to tools/manage my data/ options/ import gpx file. I don't see it anywhere and it isnt in "my locations". did i miss a step?

Yes, I have the Mobile XT working, can see myself on the map, and have used it for going places in the car. Thank you for showing me the manual, i think it will help, and i was able to enter the coordinates of some geocaches in our area and assign an icon on the map. Is there a way to access the hints, or information about the cache without manually typing everything in? and if i purchase access and get the gpx file, do i just drag that into the expansion card on the palm install and do a hot sync and the map will automatically read it? Or I put the sd card in the card reader, I just tried that and saw a gpx folder. Do you have premium membership and use the gpx files that way? Sorry if I sound so dumb....

I have a Palm Centro and recently purchased the Palm GPS Navigator 3380NA with Garmin. It's a 2gb sd card with preloaded maps. Palm and Garmin have been completely useless in helping me set this up for geocaching. Through reading the posts i have been able to figure out that i can import a gpx file and have tried to download a gpx converter. I have no idea how these things work or how to get the two to work together! I can't simply enter the coordinates into the gps, it won't let me. My son is dying to go geocaching, please help!! I have done geocaching before but it was with someone who already had the whole thing set up. I would pay for the premium membership but I'm not even sure the gpx import function on my phone works because the phone and gps receiver are two separate units. Any ideas would be appreciated
