We have a Garmin eTrex, but we want to use our iPod Touch to do paperless geocaching. Basically, I want to load all of my caches on the iPod and be able to see them when I'm out and don't have wifi or 3G coverage. Does the Groundspeak app store the caches locally on the iPod, or does it require wifi/3G access to pull them up? Thanks for your help.

No, I didn't download Garmin Communicator. What does it do?

The software that came with the adapter, or the software that came with the GPS?

I have a Garmin Etrex Venture (the older green one) and a PC interface cable. I downloaded the GSAK program, and I want to send waypoints to my GPS from GSAK. I can't seem to get my PC to see the GPS, it says it cannot initialize the COM1 port. Not sure if I need to download drivers, but I can't seem to find any information on the Garmin website. I did put it in Garmin mode on the Interface menu. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Perfect. That's what I needed. Unfortunately, we are in Boise. Thanks for your help! Thank you for not jumping on the band wagon down there. It is true WSU has the most loyal fans ever! I am an avowed Boise State hater. Go Cougs!

I used Cachemate on my Palm. GSAK on my computer. And I used City Navigator and topo maps on my Venture. That worked well for me. Excellent! Thanks, everyone, for your help on this.

Cachemate is also very useful, for the cache details. And don't forget to become a Premium Member so you can create Pocket Queries. With being a PM, there's no point in using Cachemate or GSAK. Just noticed, you are a PM. Good start! OK, that's where I'm confused. How do I get stuff from the computer onto my Palm? I must have to use some sort of software for that.

Thanks, and GO COUGS!

My wife and I are brand new to Geocaching. We're kickin' it old school with a Garmin Etrex Venture GPSr and a Palm Vx. I'm wondering, what software we will need for our Palm to download cache details? Also, is there any map software for the GPSr that we will need? Like I said, we are brand new, but everything I've read says a Palm is nice to have and that it's better to download waypoints directly to your GPSr from your computer. Thanks for your help!
