  1. The only way I could see that happening is to double the screen size and processor power of the PN-20. I realize that the SD capability gives lots of storage space, but I'm sure I'm not the only cacher out there that loads TONS of waypoints based on everywhere I MIGHT be going on a trip. GSAK handles waypoint management by allowing me to download GPXs all at once in preparation for a trip and then slice and dice them at will. From there, I export various filtered views into Topo 7 so that I can toggle between All caches, Ones I haven't found, Easy ones, Non-Micros, .... Unfortunately, that's where it breaks down right now. I'd like those segregations to remain when sending them into the PN-20, but at 200-500 per filter (sometimes more, remember GSAK is combining the 500-limited GPXs into one GPX), the 1,000 waypoint limit in the PN-20 looms quite large. So, for now, I simply delete all caches (by symbol) in the PN-20 and resend the view that I'd like to have portable for a particular outing. Non-Micro easy ones for travelling, Ones I haven't found when alone, Everything when I'm out with others. Works well, but I can't see the PN-20's current hardware meeting the needs of THIS particular cacher. Lynn (D) - aka CodeWrangler - PN-20 owner & AT&T Tilt user
  2. 1. GPS - DeLorme PN-20 and AT&T Tilt (New) 2. Paperless - AT&T Tilt running Smache prefiltered by GSAK (about to try others) 3. Downloading - DeLorme's Topo USA (required for PN-20) downloading GPXs generated by GSAK 4. Maps - Comes with Topo USA and DeLorme's Street Atlas (on the Tilt) CodeWrangler
  3. I also have an AT&T Tilt and have noticed the slow GPS response issue while walking. I use DeLorme's Street Atlas normally and it can take me 300 feet or more before the arrow shows motion. However, I also have Smache (look for it in Google) loaded and when I enable the GPS in that application, the response gets right where I'd like it to be . Even Street Atlas's arrow jumps nearly the moment I start moving after I let Smache have at the GPS. YMMV and I'll also be trying VisualGPSce since I actually loaded that on the phone in the store just to see if the GPS REQUIRED their pay service or would be accessible by other Windows Mobile applications. The store clerk thought I'd have to use theirs. Also, Street Atlas does not claim Windows Mobile 6 compatibility, but it works until you turn off the GPS and/or tracking. Then it locks up and must be killed. CodeWrangler - a DeLorme PN-20 primary user with a Tilt-ed backup
