  1. I was wondering if there is a way to filter out only the caches that were updated when you update the .GPx file in gsak. I want to be able to send the only the caches that were updated to my PDA so it dosn't take as long I tried using the set flag feature but it seems to check all of the caches regardless of wether or not they were updated?
  2. Thanks alot thats just what i needed to know!
  3. I just baught a palm pda and and put cachemate on it. I use GSAK to manage my .gpx. When you convert the file and send it to the palm, it lists all the caches by there name, in the palm. Is it possible to list them by there waypoint name? for instance "GCXXXX" Also When i transfered the files to my palm it did not mark any of the ones i had found as "Found" on the plam? is there a way to fix this?
  4. I just wanted to thank everyone for all there help on this topic! After about 10 unsuccessful bids I was able to score a PALM IIIxe with 8mb in excellent condition for only 20 bucks on ebay! It even came with a leather case! I look forward to start paperless caching and probably will have many more questions once my Palm comes. Thanks again everybody! ~Sterby44
  5. I know it was said a couple of times in the forum, but what is the easiest way to download caches onto a Palm PDA?
  6. Anybody interested in selling an old Palm to me? Let me know what you have
  7. No disrespect to Smittyware, but CacheMate is much easier to use on a Palm OS device than on a Pocket PC. In GSAK you just select File>Export>CacheMate PDB file, and the next time you sync your Palm it's updated. The Pocket PC version, on the other hand, you need to transfer the GPX file to the device, then manually import them to CacheMate, then delete the GPX file. It's probably just my bias, but I like the way the data is presented on the Palm as well. I have an Ipaq and a Handspring Visor. The Ipaq has 64 MB of memory and the Visor has 8 MB. The Ipaq is color and the Visor is B/W. Guess which on I prefer? Hands down the Visor. 8 MB will hold more cache data than I'll ever need, the B/W screen is much easier to read in bright sunlight, and if I bounce it in the field I'm only out about $12. Also, the Ipaq has a hard to replace internal rechargeable battery, where the Visor uses standard AAA cells. The first time your batteries die in the field you'll know what I mean. This is one case where the newest, fastest and shiniest device on the market isn't necessarily the best for the task. So If i got something like the handspring visor or the palm III i would be able to download Cachmate to them?
  8. OK so I have been looking on Ebay for a while and I have been seeing a lot of Palm 3's Which seem to be the cheapest. Is the palm handsrping a better model/ newer? What Palms offer me the expandability of a memory card, but are still cheap?
  9. Personal Digital Assistant handheld computer basically
  10. How about ease of transfering .gpx files. I was reading something that said the Palm- OS had to be converted before transfering it, where as the PPC you can just drag and drop it in?
  11. That would be great thanks!
  12. I am finally looking to go paperless and am interested in getting my first PDA. I will probably get a used one off of ebay since I cannot afford a new one. I Probably will only use the PDA for geocaching so it dosn't have to be anything fancy. I just wanted to know what anyone had to recommend that would help me get started? I understand that there are 2 formats PPC and Palm. What are the disadvantages and advantages of each? What PDAs would you recommend for geocaching that would make it simple to go paperless? Thanks sterby44
