That sounds like a great resource, I have worked with scouts on several occasions with SCUBA related activities. I am a bit suprised that they are opening up to non-scout users though, and can understand why there are many details which would need to be worked out for this to work. No matter where you go... there you are!

I thought I would also try to see if Channel 4 can provide me with something. I can make a copy in several formats. VHS CD mpg file CD SVCD(plays in some DVD players) I have the entire program and 2 of the pre show teasers if needed. No matter where you go... there you are!

FYI we do have at least one active cacher that is a serveyer [This message was edited by DougsBrat on March 14, 2002 at 02:59 PM.]

quote:Originally posted by MMMike: Yes I have a Palm IIIc with a Rand McNally GPS. I am currently undecided between GPSPilot's Atlas and Mapopolis. They both are doing find with the maps and tracking my position. BUT...what I am looking for is software that will point to the direction of a waypoint. Not point north or simply show me the direction I am heading, but to point in the direction of the waypoint, or, in the direction of the cache. Mike Atlas will not do this, but thier tracker http://www.gpspilot.com/UGTracker.htm or Fly http://www.gpspilot.com/UGFly.htm will, they have working demos so try them both to see which you like best. infact mapopolis has free d/l and a pay one as I recall. the only gripe I have with gpspilot is that they 35.00 you to death to get all the features you want(each program)/or need. No matter where you go... there you are!

quote:Originally posted by swangner: I've written a Palm Geocaching application (will work with the Rand McNally GPS unit, which is really just a Magellan GPS Companion with the Rand McNally brand name on it, or any other GPS unit that can hook up to the Palm's serial port, and outputs standard NMEA sentences). It shows current location, allows you to set waypoints, either by manually entering them or from your current location, and shows distance and bearing from your current position to a selected waypoint. The software is beta (at best), and has no documentation (I haven't had the time to write it yet), but I'd be willing to send it out to anyone who's interested. Just let me know via email and I'll send you a copy of the app. I would like to try it on my visor/companion. dougsbrat AT yahoo DOT com No matter where you go... there you are!
